Additionally, Julian’s agility and precise shooting have shown just what Argentina needs when faced with tough opponents like Chile or Bolivia. Alvarez will need to collaborate and find scoring opportunities against Colombia’s defense, while Lionel Messi remains an ever-present danger with his vision and creativity. Alvarez provides leadership on the pitch while Messi can step up under pressure situations to deliver crucial victories against their tussling foe.
