Manuel Ugarte left one of the most viral photos in recent days after confronting Rodrigo de Paul in the match where Uruguay beat Argentina (0-2) at the Bombonera.
20 minutes into the match when a scuffle between the two turned into an argument and the Uruguayan gave the Argentine a very vulgar gesture and an even worse phrase: “Chupa pija de Messi.” That gesture quickly went viral on social networks and more than Leo’s insistence on what Ugarte did. “I prefer not to say what I think, but these youngsters have to learn respect from their elders,” said the current Ballon d’Or winner.
Well, although Ugarte did not comment on the subject, he did so a few days later in an interview with Sport 890 where he admitted that “when they told me that a gesture of mine went viral, I don’t remember it. Then I saw it and I wanted to die.” It’s not good. When I’m hot I do things I shouldn’t be doing. Paul took the importance away and stayed on the field.”
“In games, a lot of things are said that don’t come out in the end, but all the players know that they are things that are said, even between teammates who are on different teams and they insult each other but after game they congratulate each other. ,” added the PSG footballer, who He had the “support” of De Paul himself, who after the game wanted to make light of the matter by saying that what happened “was nonsense. It stays on the field, nothing happens.”
