This summer has not been very good for the leader of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi.
The star of "Barcelona" failed to triumph in the "Copa America" tournament and, to make matters worse, in the match for third place against Chile, he earned a red card.
This means that the striker faces disqualification, and remembering Messi's harsh words towards the "Conmebol" organization, the player could face up to two years of forced rest.
The Argentine Football Federation has already taken steps to at least try to overturn the red card received by the athlete and has filed a protest.
However, the federation failed to present new arguments and wrote that Messi was not aggressive, the referee Mario Diaz de Vivaras should have shown a yellow, not a red card, in addition, the VAR system was not used.
This move by the Argentine team means that while the request is being considered, Messi will still be able to play in a friendly match against Chile on September 5.
