Appointment with the history: the best footballer of all time wants his World-wide

Germany and Argentina confront this Sunday (21.00 Telecinco and Goal T) in the mythical stadium of Maracaná in search of the crown of the champions of the world, a title that, if it falls of the side "albiceleste", can consecrate to Lionel Messi like the most important footballer all the times. The "10" of the Barça leads a generation that already has reached important attainments, like the World-wide Sub'20 of 2005 and the olympic gold of Peking 2008. With his club has won it all, considers him the best footballer of the 21st century, but also is used to him reproach that it is missing him a World-wide to be to the height of the big myths. In this occasion, besides, asks him that it load to the team to the back, such as it did Maradona in Mexico'86.

It is exactly what did during the first phase, but his presence in the game has gone turning off in the eliminatory. However, always it expects him and always it causes fear in the contrary rows. In addition to him, Alejandro Sabella entrusts to the figure of the Barcelona Mascherano, the key man of the semifinal against Holland, and prays by the recovery of Gave María, that is forcing to be able to play the most important party of his career. The madridista has the possibility to win the Champions and the World-wide the same year.

For Germany, the title would mean the culmination of a process that lengthens from does a decade, when Jürgen Klinsmann and Joachim Löw decided to change the model of game, based in the physicist and the discipline, that had had a lot of success in the past but that began to lose force. Löw Assumed the control of the selection in the World-wide of 2006 and finished to transform it in a team of attractive game, but that always bumped with the hegemony of Spain. Now that the current champions have lost his cycle, arrives the big opportunity of the Teutonics, that, anyway, can not fiar. The historical 1 to 7 against Brazil converts them, by strength, in favourites to raise the Glass of the World.

Argentina, instead, lives a return to the elite. They have happened twenty and four years from the last final that contested, in Italy and against the same rival. In that occasion lost (1-0), but four years before had imposed in the final of Mexico (2-3). Like this then , it is the third time that Germany and Argentina confront in the last party of a Glass of the World, the most repeated pairing of the history. The result will suppose the particular tiebreaker between the two teams. In the list of winners, Germany adds three titles in seven finals contested. The one of the 2014 is the octave, with what leaves backwards to Brazil, also with seven. Great argentinian two championships in three presences.

The approach of Löw goes through to carry the initiative. It knows that Argentina will not do it and that will not leave the spaces that Brazil gave him in the semifinal. The game of chess in the centre of the field can be the key, and the midfield players germanos have showed that they are the more determinants of this World-wide. Messi and Löw. The fight of a figure against a style. And the final of Maracaná will elevate to one of the two in the Olimpo of the football.
