The attacker and captain of the Argentine team, Leo Messi, has reasons to be more than satisfied this Friday. With a good performance and with two converted penalties, the '10' has been vital for Argentina's qualification for the World Cup semifinals in Qatar.
The party has had everything. After a few minutes of equality, Argentina has gone on to dominate the match and has come to have a 0-2 advantage, but then the Netherlands has staged a great reaction. Finally, the game has been decided in the always suffered penalties.
Fortunately for Messi's interests, Argentina has only missed one shot from 11 meters and together with the good performance of 'Emi' Martínez, Scaloni's men have qualified for the next round of the World Cup. Messi transmitted happiness on the field, but the feeling that he has left in the mixed zone has been very different.
At the end of the game, Messi was very critical of an old acquaintance, Mateu Lahoz, the referee who has been in charge of directing the Netherlands-Argentina match and whose performance has not satisfied the Argentine captain.
However, it was in an interview with the TyC Sports channel when Messi got angry with someone. In the middle of an interview, the PSG player did not seem to pay much attention to the journalist's questions and turned to one of those present to ask: "What are you looking at, silly?"
In fact, Messi has repeated the same phrase again and it has had to be the journalist himself who has asked the footballer to calm down with a "calm down, Leo, calm down".
A sample of the character of the Argentine crack, which once again has been vital for Argentina to have taken another step to achieve its long-awaited World Cup.
