The title of Argentina and the leading role of Leo Messi stood out from the World Cup in Qatar, but the dialectical confrontation between the captain of the albiceleste and the Dutchman Wout Weghorst after the quarterfinals also remained in the retina of the fans. especially the famous phrase “what do you look silly” pronounced by the man from Rosario.
From that small confrontation, already in the bowels of the Lusail stadium, the previous images were missing, the source of the anger of both players after a particularly tough tie that was decided on penalties and that ended with 14 cards, including a red one, in addition of several scuffles between several footballers.
Now, FIFA has revealed the full scene between Messi and Weghorst in a one and a half hour documentary about the meeting in Qatar. After the penalty converted by Lautaro Martínez, which meant Argentina’s agonizing pass, the Argentines had some quarrels with the Dutch who had remained during the game.
Already calmer, Weghorst, author of the goal in the 100th minute that forced extra time, waits at the entrance to the tunnel to shake hands with Messi. But the Argentine, accompanied by Rodrigo De Paul, makes no move to shake the striker’s hand, either because he doesn’t quite see the gesture or because he doesn’t accept it.
A few seconds later, the current Manchester United striker reproaches Messi for that action from afar, at which point ‘the flea’ responds with “what are you looking at, fool. Go there.” Weghorst had previously discussed with other members of the Argentine team, such as Lautaro Martínez and Lisandro Martínez, a scene that had already emerged.
