Robert Lewandowski Y Leo Messi They had a chat between murmurs after the decisive match played on Wednesday by the teams of Poland Y Argentina and that, despite the victory of the albiceleste (2-0), both teams qualified for the round of 16 of Qatar World Cup. The current pIchichi of the Spanish League with FC Barcelona expressed in Bild where is that conversation between the stars who, a few minutes before, experienced a moment of tension after the Pole’s foul on the Argentine. “We talked a little and it was fun. I told Messi that he was playing more defensively than usual, but sometimes that’s what the team needs…”, said the Barça attacker.
About that game that ended in a tense game with Messi, Lewandowski He admitted that, because of his qualities as a footballer, he made a very atypical scene. “That was very strange, yes: I was in the middle of the field defending, but I knew that I had to help the team”, he highlighted.
The final day of the group was unusual in that, at times, Poland knew they would qualify despite losing against Argentina due to a favorable number of bookings compared to Mexico. “We knew in the last ten minutes of our own game that yellow cards would probably ultimately decide qualification. We heard that Mexico was ‘only’ 2-0 up. And then we knew we had to keep going to believe in ourselves, but we also have to play with caution and not come back to receive a yellow card”, admitted. “When Arabia scored a goal, we felt that luck was on our side,” he added.
Criticism of Poland’s aggressive plan was not important in the end, even with a player as attacking Lewandowski. “It’s hard work. It’s not pleasant, but we are, for the first time in 36 years, at the next stage of a World Cup. It’s a great victory for all of Poland,” he concluded.
Leo chose to “leave it on the field”
before, Messi preferred not to give details of that close conversation Lewandowski. “Nothing happens, nothing. He doesn’t speak Spanish… and they taught me that everything that happens on the pitch stays on the pitch and everything that happens in a locker room stays in the locker room. No it will bring out some of the intimacy in me”, pointed out the 10 of Argentina. About the post you made Lewandowski, Messi he also noted that he respects “everyone, on and off the pitch and there are no problems.”
