With six opportunities created, seven interceptions made, and five tackles won so far in Qatar, the Argentine has successfully balanced attack and defence. He and Griezmann’s are worth your focus.
NICOLAS OTAMENDI VS OLIVIER GIROUD
Giroud can scurry past opposing defences and score from all unusual angles. On Sunday, Argentina center-back Nicolas Otamendi will work to prevent the attacker from getting his way.

In the quarterfinal matchup against England, Tchouameni scored the game’s first goal. In six games in Qatar, he also produced six opportunities, 12 interceptions, four shot blocks, and four clearances.
Fernandez has also been outstanding, controlling the game’s tempo with his quick deliveries and assisting his team on offence. In six games for Argentina, Fernandez has one goal and one assist. He has so far produced five chances, cleared the ball six times, and intercepted three passes.
RAPHAEL VARANE VS JULIAN ALVAREZ
