This Monday Lionel Andres Messi, the best footballer on the planet, received his seventh Ballon d’Or at the gala held in Paris, extending his supremacy over Cristiano Ronaldo which has been in the second historical place with five.
The current Paris Saint Germain de France player, who was crowned champion with the Argentine National Team in the 2021 Copa América in Brazil, dedicated a few words to his fans and all his teammates both during his time at FC Barcelona, and currently in PSG and the national team, but there was a not so happy moment that made the networks explode.
Is that when the award was announced, a video clip was broadcast with some scenes shot in Rosario, the Argentine city from which “Pulga” is a native, where a local inhabitant was forceful: “Here in Argentina, because he was not winning anything with the National Team, he was criticized by all journalists”.
Immediately, a fragment of a ruthless criticism of the journalist appeared Flavio azzaro for Messi at the 2018 World Cup: “Yes, that Messi leaves the Selection. Messi never made the Argentine national team win important games”Was his phrase after Argentina lost 3-0 to Croatia.
Hours later, with the video going around the planet, Azzaro himself responded in “Polémica en el Bar”, the program in America where he participates: “I imagine that if it is on Messi’s side, he will think: ‘Look what this idiot said’. It is what I would say instead, like every time you are criticized and you think that the criticism is ruthless and says: ‘Look what this idiot says’. I would understand perfectly. After, is what I said. I don’t have much more to contribute, ”the journalist began.
“I said it because I felt it, he was angry that Argentina was missing out on the World Cup in the first round. For me, Messi was playing terrible. But if there is something that does not bother me in life, it is to recognize when I change my mind. Which is not the same as admitting mistakes “, culminated the man who was a trend on Monday.
