Alexander Mostovoy: "Messi is amazing, others don't understand Rangnick" after Argentina Victory against Austria in World Cup 2026
Alexander Mostovoy spoke about Lionel Messi and Ralph Rangnick after Argentina's win over Austria at the 2026 World Cup, where Messi scored two goals.
Former Spartak Moscow player Alexander Mostovoy expressed his thoughts about Lionel Messi, the forward of the Argentina national team, and Ralf Rangnick, the coach of Austria, after the rivalry of the two teams in the FIFA World Cup 2026. In that match, Argentina won with a score of 2:0 and Messi was the star with his two goals.
According to Mostovoy: "It's great! Austria's coach even gave a hint—in the match against Argentina and against a football genius: 'If you want to win big money, bet on us.' Rangnick is like that—he's still unread by many. There's always a way, you don't understand how he does it. But Messi, at the age of 39, simply dumped them. Two goals right away, he hasn't even scored a penalty yet. Maybe he didn't focus anymore, it was like he said: 'Alright, I'll just go for the goal.' Sometimes it's true, there are non-football people who say something. But that's what football is—that's why the game is good because there are geniuses, creative players like Messi."
This year's World Cup 2026 is being celebrated in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. Argentina is the current world champion after they beat France in a penalty shootout in the 2022 World Cup after a 3:3 draw in normal time.
