Lionel Messi snatched the victory on penalties against the Netherlands and qualification for the semi-finals of the World Cup 2022. And yet Pleshti is furious with the refereeing and bursts into controversial statements during the post-match interview. The Argentinian champion complained to journalists about Mateu Lahoz’s refereeing, harshly attacking the Spanish referee: “I don’t want to talk about the referee because I can’t be honest. If I speak, they will sanction me… – said the Albiceleste captain -. You’ve all seen it. FIFA should think about it. It cannot send such a referee for these matches. They cannot appoint an arbitrator who is not up to the task”.
Lahoz received 14 yellow cards between regular and extra time, plus two more during penalty kicks. 7 Argentine players ended up in his notebook, except for Walter Samuel and Lionel Scaloni.
SEVERE WORDS ALSO FOR VAN GAAL: “HE ONLY MAKES LONG BALLS”
