Just like in every World Cup, a number of players will have their ‘last dance’ at the global arena. Some due to their age, some because they will be injured or out of form in 2026. But this tournament is specific, because there are players who are very important to the football world in general, and this is the last time we will see them in the Argentina or Portugal jersey. We are talking about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the best footballers in the last decade or more. Among them, there are such starts as Luka Modric, but possible Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski who will have their last dance.Group H – CR7’s last dance; the Black Stars, the Navigators and the Tigers all seek revenge on the UrusThe former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is now head of FIFA’s Technical Study Group, and will be at the World Cup, where he will watch all those legends playing for the last time. “I believe this World Cup is the last chance for great players who have shown us all their talent in the last 10 or 15 years. They will come here and think ‘it’s now or never’. It’s exciting to see because Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema are top of the world. Lewandowski too – they will all be thinking: ‘this is my chance’” said the Frenchman. “I would like Argentina to win the World Cup’Former Gunners boss also talked about the intensity and pressure in modern football, but said that the technical abilities and vision are still dominant, regardless of age, which can be seen at Leo Messi’s and Luka Modric’s displays. “The luck of our sport is that it is a technical sport, and despite the increasing intensity, when you look at the end of a game to see who made the difference, who made you win, they are players with vision and with the technical ability to realize their vision. Badly used science can be detrimental to risk because players can be too conscious of data and not play with freedom. That is why the science should be used well, to encourage players to keep making audacious decisions. If not, it could be detrimental to the quality of the game” explained Wenger. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6824777##
