Messi recalled the match in which he received the most insults in the Argentine National Team: “It was…”
The Copa América is just around the corner and Lionel Messi knows it, but before the start of the continental competition he gave a relaxed interview where he recalled the match with the Argentine National Team in which he received the most insults.
Although everyone loves Lionel Messi today, the reality is that a few years ago there were many people who did not want the ’10’ in the Argentine National Team, especially because in those years he was criticized a lot for “not playing like in Barcelona.”
In this sense, a few days before the start of a new edition of the Copa América, Messi gave an interview to the streaming program Distados a Todo, hosted by his nephew Matías, where he recalled the match where he received the most insults.
“I don’t remember any particular insult, but I do remember that in the 2011 Copa América in Argentina, when we played in Santa Fe, they told me everything. To me and the entire team. It was quite hard. “They insulted me in all colors,” recalled the ’10’.
Of course, that match refers to when Uruguay eliminated Argentina in the 2011 Copa América at the Elephant Cemetery in the province of Santa Fe. That night the Celeste won and then ended up being champion.
When does the Argentine National Team debut in the Copa América?
The team led by Lionel Scaloni will debut this Thursday the 20th at 9pm against Canada for the first date of Group A at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
