They are many the histories that has left the duel between Argentina and Low Countries of the quarter-finals of the Glass of the World. From the tángana between the footballers of both selections after a pelotazo of Leandro Walls to the Dutch bench until the controversial statements of Lionel Messi (with a "what look, bobo?" To Weghorst included), has been a clash that has lived further of the terrain of game.

One of the duels more 'hot' has been the one who has lived between Messi and Louis go Gaal, with spirits of 'revancha' of the captain albiceleste against the Dutch. And it is that, further of what said, quand "Go Gaal sells that it plays well and finish putting pelotazos to the heights", commissioned of 'signal' against the exentrenador of the FC Barcelona with the celebration of his goal.

Messi celebrated his goal homenajeando to Juan Román Riquelme and back sentence that "the technician of them was not respectful before the party", the attacker rosarino left to glimpse that it was not for nothing content with Louis go Gaal, but now from Argentina have desvelado that the 'hammer' comes from backwards.

As it has informed , Messi has not forgotten the statements of the Dutch to 'El País' in June of 2019, after the Barça went deleted of the Champions League in hands of the Liverpool, with the very remembered traced back in Anfield. In this opportunity, said that "why does not win the Champions from five years ago? Why? Like captain, has to ask after what the team does not win in Europe. I think that Messi also is responsible of what is sucediendo in the Barcelona".

In this same interview, signalled that "I think that all player has to play for the team. Even Messi" and that "Neymar and Messi like me like individual footballers, no like players of team. I think that in the collective games there is not at all more important that the player of team. Messi is the best individual player of the world because his statistical are amazing. It likes me! But, why it does not win the Champions from five years ago? Why? Like captain, has to ask after what the team does not win in Europe".

It continued saying that "the Barça has a wonderful staff. You can not say that Rakitic was bad, neither that Coutinho was bad, or that Alba was a bad player, or Ter Stegen a bad goalkeeper, or Arthur or Vidal...! I think that Messi also is responsible of what is sucediendo in the Barcelona", as well as that "have a staff of 30 players and think that Messi has to adapt to the team and no the other way around. Guardiola Did it play for profit of the team but the last trainers have adapted too much to Messi in place to protect the spirit of team".

The reason of the celebration

Also it has stood out that it has wanted to 'avenge' of the deal that received Riquelme under the orders of Go Gaal in the Barça, in 2002. The Argentinian would have felt despised after it arrived to put on the table his cession, because -really- he had not asked his traspaso for the Barcelona picture... Also it remembered it Messi?
