After the dramatic quarterfinal match of the World Championship between the national teams of Argentina and the Netherlands, tensions flared on the sidelines.
As reported by "Mirror" and other portals, the leader of the South American team and the best player of the match Lionel Messi did not hesitate to confront Dutch strategist Louis van Gaal.
"What are you talking about here? Don't mess with me, fool!" - Messi shouted during the interview.
Van Gaal had promised before the match that he would stop the attacker, as he had found his weak spot.
However, Argentina managed to avoid the specialist's traps and advance to the semi-final stage.
Meanwhile, "Marca" insists that these words could have been directed at the former Dutch player W. Weghorst.
L. Messi did not shy away from conflicting with L. van Gaal both during the match and immediately after it ended.
