Lionel Messi, the American Inter Miami star and captain of the Argentine national team, seemed angry with Tango coach Lionel Scaloni.
Argentine radio TN confirmed that Messi was surprised by Scaloni's statements, during which he hinted at the possibility of his departure from the leadership of Argentina after the victory over Brazil.
She added that one of the people informed Leo of what the Argentine national team coach said, while Messi was busy with a phone call inside the locker room.
Argentine radio revealed that Messi entered into a quick discussion with Scaloni, which lasted only 32 seconds. It added that Messi broke off the conversation and left his coach.
TN concluded its report by saying that there are well-known principles in football, such as that any player should know about an important decision from the media, so this cannot be tolerated with a star the size of Messi.
It is noteworthy that Lionel Scaloni has been the coach of the Argentine national team since the summer of 2018, and led it to win the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup titles.
Garnacho's brother denies Messi's story
Roberto Garnacho, brother of Alejandro, the English Manchester United star, revealed the truth about what the English star Rio Ferdinand said about Lionel Messi canceling his follow-up to Garnacho because of the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ferdinand had made statements on his “podcast” in which he confirmed that Messi had unfollowed his compatriot Garnacho because of his continued admiration for the star Ronaldo, as the young player celebrated in the same way as the Portuguese star after scoring the most beautiful goals of the season with an amazing double strike against Everton earlier this week.
But Roberto, the brother of the Manchester United star, responded to what Ferdinand said, saying: “It is not true. Messi did not follow him. Stop making things up just to stir up hatred, and Jarnacho loves and admires them and you are trying to create competition.”
The retired English star responded to Alejandro's sister Roberto's tweet, saying: "It was sarcasm, brother."
Garnacho partnered with Ronaldo at Manchester United, after Cristiano returned to the Red Devils last season, and he also played alongside Messi in the Argentine national team for 16 minutes.
