The Argentine striker recalled the moment that happened in the quarter-finals of the competition, one of the most South American moments for the Transandino striker.
Lionel Messi continues to enjoy his last great football achievement. On December 18, he managed to lift with his teammates the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the third for the Albiceleste.
Of course, before reaching that final, they had to deal with one of the tensest moments of the competition in the quarter-finals when they faced the Netherlands. And one of the victims of the celebration was coach Louis Van Gaal.
During the celebration that remembered Juan Román Riquelme, who was sidelined from Barcelona by the Dutch DT, he pointed out that “He left at the time. I had nothing in mind. Even when 2-1, I said “what a fuck I did that”, ’cause it happens, you saw . And then on top of that they tied us up and everything. I had seen what Van Gaal said before the game and a teammate showed it to me. And the truth that bothered me, bothered me because I didn’t miss anyone, neither the coaches nor the players “, He acknowledged in an interview with Olé.
“I never talk about anyone and much less before a match. It bothered me because I spoke of him with great respect. I didn’t like it and it came out at the time “He added.
He also reviewed another moment that caught his eye after the game and that a few days ago he admitted he was ashamed of it. The “Andá Pa’llá”, which has even been used by other athletes, including Novak Djokovic.
About it, he said it was something his kids started using. “Now the boys carry me with it sometimes. And when something happens or they fight with each other or have a party, they throw it away. And yes, someone else is using it. But i said the truth is it was a hot time and today after i produced what happened i didn’t like to see my way . And for it to go viral like it did, I thought of nothing. It was a hot moment, a very hot game because of everything that had been discussed before, because of what was said during the game and because of the end of the end. Well, he remains in an anecdote. “It was a reaction without thinking and natural. He came out like that and nothing, he stayed,” he added.
Final
Another of Qatar’s iconic World Cup moments for Argentina in the final against France was the hand-to-hand win by Emiliano Martínez in 120+3′ and that could spell triumph for the Gauls.
“Everything was so fast that at that moment I didn’t experience it as it really was, because the counter immediately ended up with Lautaro’s head. I suffered more after watching the videos than at that moment, it was such a quick gesture that it came out of nowhere, with a bullet, a comb… I don’t don’t know… Well, so fast that I didn’t have time to put up with it. Then when you see her, you realize this game “He said.
He also had words to remember when he could finally play the cup. “I don’t know how to explain it in words what I felt at that moment. Seeing the cup there, I didn’t think about the reaction that (kissing her). It was seeing her and leaving because she was so close, it was coming from inside of me to approach her, touch her, kiss her. And it was a huge emotion to be able to say to yourself that’s it, we can seize, play. He left without thinking because he hadn’t seen her before going upstairs. It was passing that I saw her “, He recalled the moment he took the stage to receive the award as the best player.
“I really wanted this moment. After so much time in the national team, previous World Cups, being so close also in 2014, having seen it pass so close without being able to do what I did in this last one. Behind that, there were a lot of sacrifices, a lot of defeats, a lot of difficult moments, which I had to go through. It was a great situation,” he added.
Finally, he expressed his feelings about seeing the Montiel prison launch again which sparked the celebrations. “To date it is a very exciting moment, even when I see it like this, more than this moment to live it more calmly and to have spent time and to see it today excites me even more . I see a lot of videos appearing on social networks and things that show and the truth is that it’s amazing everything appears … it’s not the same but you see similar videos Cachete’s latest penalty , how it is reported in different countries or Videos of groups that get together to watch the matches and how they experienced it after being world champion. Very beautiful moments.
