In a press conference after the Netherlands vs Argentina in the quarter-finals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, in which Argentina qualified for the semi-finals after a penalty shoot-out in which Emiliano Martinez saved penalties from Virgil van Dijk and Berghuis, Leonel Scaloni spoke about Lionel Messi’s anger with Louis Van Gaal. He said it was due to the Dutch coach’s words in pre-match interviews, saying that when Messi doesn’t have the ball Argentina play with one less.

Do you think Van Gaal's words were offensive to Messi?
Blasting at Van Gaal and the Dutch for calling down him and his team, then sharing his emotion to Martinez at the moment of glorious victory, Messi has shown the world HIS AUTHORITY, HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS HEART. He is the best team's captain the soccer world has ever had!
I like football but not fight so please don't fight in future
Netherlands didn't have enough of an attacking threat in that game
Messi is a dumbest player of all time. DOAT .They will not be such lucky front of Croatia.
Portugal should learn something from argentina, if you get my drift
these comments lmao the fact is we argentinians don't care what yall have to say, we will always support messi and that's that. if yall think that we are rude and decide to ignore everything the dutch players did and said before and during the match so let it be lmao finally we get to see messi's villain era bc it was ab time
Am a big Ronaldo supporter but MESSI aid the GOAT let’s admit it
Lol…..seriously…..Latin America and Southern Europe…..it's no coincidence they display the same Theatre on the soccer field…..same roots ain't it….
Totally incapable to even come close to something that resembles Fairplay…and absolutely oblivious why it is that some people want to stamp their faces into the ground…..total mystery that one….
Can't think of a game, besides one that got a Southern Europe of Latin American team eliminated, that was watchable…it's a fucking joke.
The teams I liked the most where Australia, Canada, the VS, South Korea and most of all Japan…..they play soccer…..fair……..
Let's hope Croatia knocks Argentina out of the game….🖕🏻
If Argentina was so motivated by what van Gaal said, why didnt they do it in 90 minutes. The Netherlands came back in 12 minutes of the game. If the Netherlands were pussing trough it could be a verry diferent game that night. How Argentina played i the las 12 minutes of the game, it will be verry difficult for them to be the World Chapions.
OK, so van Gaal was playing mind games, pre match. Messi also returned the favor post match. So what's the fuss??
I don't like the way Scaloni defends Messi's childish gestures. Many people look up to Messi. He should give a better example.
"estamos contentos de tenerlo" 🤍💙
As a defender, my one goal is to keep the ball away from the penalty box. As a striker, one as good as him, I would hate for him to defend.
Not a Messi or cr7 fan, but I can see the obvious difference between the two on and off the field. I can also see why peeps loathe cr7. Pride comes before a great fall.
Good yes best of all time, I don’t think so
He's just a Pepsi product promoter))
I like Messi angry like that, that prove he efforts to win World Cup. In the life sometimes we shouldn’t silent, gentle because people don’t love you, they laugh and doesn’t help each other
Vamos Argentina
Maradona is the best of all time
These comments section filled with people who didn't watch the game.
What happened was in second round Netherlands play wide and long ball to avoid messi. Messi barely touch any ball in the whole second round. I was so happy when he finally get the ball, you know what happened next? Two people swarm him and push him to the ground
Mrs Sophia is the best, recommending her to all beginners who wants to recover from their losses and gain more like l did through her strategies
Moron.
Messi already found guilty of three counts of tax fraud between 2007 and '09 for essentially using fictitious companies . And still ppl cheering for this criminal. Pathetic.
Fifa one of the biggest Mafia
Remove Argentina from the planet please
Simple, Van Gaal just thinks Messi is not tall enough, strong enough but knows he's great. He thought a team with Messi is like playing against a team with ten and they could defend on the 11 by crowding him with large players to reduce his view and ability to dribble with control. Bad move coach.
And Portugal benched Ranaldo.
Like my comments for Messi. He is going to lift the WC. I know very well.
also he had his revenge for Riquelme
Van Gaal is rude and disrespectful to other teams, someone has to stand up to his face!
Imagine thinking that the best player in history is a deadweight. The very same player that beat you every time you played against him.
Messi used Riquelme celebration, so i believe Van Gaal's treatment of Riquelme was a good part of Messi's wrath against Van Gaal.
