Argentina drew 1-1 against Iceland at the World Cup in Russia and dropped 0-3 against Croatia on the second day, but still, today (13:00) against Nigeria 's Ahmed Musa will have one last ball to stay alive in the tournament.
Musa, best shooter in the history of the Super Eagles World Cup with four goals, will be the main threat to the students of Sampaoli. The CSKA Moscow striker can go from hero to villain for the Argentine environment. He was the one who made two goals for the win against Iceland, allowing the "albicelestes" to live this match. Argentine fanaticism called the Nigerian "Lionel Musa".
Who is Musa?
His position is ahead. He arrived at CSKA in 2012 from the Dutch league and it took him time to adapt to Russia, where he was first made midfielder. But with more than 160 matches and 53 goals, the Nigerian became the exclusive mascot of the Soviet army.
Reciprocal love led Musa to baptize one of his service stations in Nigeria with the name of "Myca-7", which he wears on the back of his Cyrillic T-shirt in the colors of the Moscow giant.
Will he score again?
"Whenever I played against Argentina or against Messi, like four years ago in Brazil, I scored two goals. When I was transferred to Leicester (English), we played against Barcelona, he was also on the field and I converted two goals, then I can score two more goals, "said the Nigerian with a mischievous smile after his show against Icelanders. "I think scoring for Argentina is not very difficult for me," says the 25-year-old with a bit of freshness, regardless of the weight of the story, since the Rioplatense beat the "Green Eagles" three times. They met in the World Cup (1994, 2006 and 2014).
The last lifeline for Argentina
