Insults, raw nerves… This journalist reveals the underside of Messi’s confusion with the Dutch

It’s an understatement to say that things got heated between the Dutch and the Argentinians this Friday. Qualified on penalties (2-2), the Argentinians had to settle accounts with their colleagues immediately after the match. If during the game Leandro Paredes lit the fuse by shooting the ball on the Dutch bench, Messi took the lead in the corridors with Wout Weghorst, the double scorer of the night. We explain why.

“What are you looking at, fool?” Go there ! »

TyC Sports journalist Esteban Edul was at the forefront of the mess between Lionel Messi and Wout Weghorst. As he tried to put his questions to the Albiceleste star, he saw the two players exchanging kind words. If viewers and internet users could come across Messi, let him go” What are you looking at, fool? Go there ! to his rival on camera, the confusion didn’t start here.

For an Argentinian newspaper ole (transcription of words RMC Sport) journalist says: After the game, everyone was arguing in the dressing room, not just Messi. Van Dijk argued with Otamendi. It looked like Lanus-Banfield or Newell’s-Central (the Rosario and Buenos Aires derbies), but it had more character because they were world stars. Messi was most angry about the penalties, when the Dutch tried to embarrass the Argentinians. 19 (Weghorst) was waiting in the tunnel, approaches Messi and asks for his shirt. From there, Leo began to warm up. The Dutchman did not understand, he stopped, and Messi insulted him. He insulted her a lot more before the start of the interview, during which he was somewhat calmer. Leo didn’t underestimate me at any point during the interview. He was so handsome that he didn’t look at me or listen to my questions. I asked him about his amazing pass for Molina and he told me about van Gaal, Fifa… I couldn’t ask him. At one point, when we were on air, I said to him: ‘Tranquille Leo’ because there were a lot of people from Fifa and you never know what can happen. »
