Messi: "Mateu Lahoz sent us to extra time" (Morning Express)

The Argentine night began with an explosion underground. Croatia had drawn against Brazil and the Doha metro, packed with white and blue fans, exploded.

And already in the corridors and in the middle of an interview, Messi called a member of the Dutch locker room “silly” several times who, according to the Argentine press, was the footballer Wout Werghorst. Of the nine goals he has scored in the tournament, six have been produced by his star: four goals (Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Australia and the Netherlands; the first and last from a penalty) and two assists (Mexico and the Netherlands). The one this Friday elevated him to the top scorer (10) in the World Cups with his team, along with Gabriel Batistuta. Van Gaal, who did not refer to these episodes in front of the journalists, left Lusail mulling over a fatal statistic for his interests: he has never lost in the 12 games he has led in a World Cup (eight wins and four draws), but he has never raised the trophy He hasn’t even reached the final. On the way to his field, he stood before the Oranje bench and put his hands to his ears looking at Van Gaal, in a very unusual defiant gesture that imitated the way of celebrating the goals of another illustrious Argentine and former Barcelona player, Juan Román Riquelme, with whom the Dutch coach did not have a good relationship in his time on the Barça bench. “The selector [en referencia a él mismo] he had learned from the past and asked the players to practice penalties. in the last action [la del empate] It was not a mistake”, developed the 10 as soon as the clash finished, raw as rarely against the judge. “FIFA has to review that, they cannot put a referee like that for a match of this importance, who is not up to the task. “Luckily, it ended well and we left it there,” he settled. “[Cuando llegó] I felt a lot of anger about the tie, it wasn’t meant to end like this. “There is no doubt, we have an advantage with him”, thanked La Pulga, who, having congratulated, started a charge against everything and everyone: Mateu Lahoz, Louis Van Gaal and a member of the Dutch dressing room. Maybe we didn’t have a great game, then the referee sent it to extra time.
