Lionel Messi’s World Cup turned upside down in shocking loss to Saudi Arabia. Messi was talking about how calm the Argentine team was. Then the tournament started, and it was the Saudis who “made history.” Opinion by bruce_arthur
in which Argentina has been picked by many to win, the 35-year-old legend spoke about how much it had helped.
Then football happened. The stadium was filled with dueling fans from both nations: Argentina always travels well, and for Saudi Arabia, whose relationship with Qatar has thawed since the Arab blockage from 2017-2021, it was a short trip. It was a proper crowd, is what it was. This is where Argentina needed calm, you’d think. Messi encourages his teammates to enjoy every moment, because he didn’t always do so. This was a moment to be urgent, but calm.
. “Everything can happen in football. Sometimes your opponent is not at its best motivation, this is normal. It’s also happened to us when we are playing a lower team. This is sometime what the people don’t understand, you imagine Lionel Messi to play against Saudi Arabia, of course you will tell him yes, you need to start very well, but you know the motivation is not like if you are playing Brazil, you know? This is normal.
