Klopp's reaction to Saudi Arabia using the high line to beat Argentina

The first surprise of the World Cup in Qatar has already happened, Argentina have been defeated by Saudi Arabia in a shameful performance by the Albiceleste against a team that has put much more desire on the pitch. Lionel Scaloni's side were outplayed in every position by the Arab side, but we would like to highlight four players who had a match to forget.

-Rodrigo De Paul: The Argentinian midfielder has extrapolated the poor season he is having at Atletico to the Albiceleste team. He has been completely out of position and overwhelmed by opposition players and has not been able to recover to provide balance in midfield. De Paul has always worked for Argentina, but with his performance today you have to ask Scalini why he doesn't use Guido more.

Angel Di Maria: Undoubtedly Di Maria has been the one to watch as he promised to be in top form after the last warm-up game in which he offered an impressive assist with a rabona, but nothing to be seen. He has gone completely unnoticed, has been one of the most 'cold chested' in the game and undoubtedly one of the main 'culprits' of this painful defeat.

Leo Messi: It is true that he scored Argentina's goal, from the penalty spot, but the captain of the Albiceleste went from strength to strength throughout the match. He has been far from the level he has shown with PSG this season and it seems that since he scored the goal, he has lowered his arms, as if he had become overconfident, this has infected the rest of his teammates.

<strong>Saudi Arabia used Klopp&#39;s high line</strong>

The tactical resource used by Saudi Arabia to beat Argentina was the so-called high line employed by coach Herve Renard and made famous by Jürgen Klopp with Liverpool. This tactic is used to cause the opposition to be constantly out of position and the defensive line is moved forward to close down the space on the pitch.
