Two certainties remained on the night of Asunción. On the one hand, Argentina He did not show tenacity in defense or creativity in attack. After all, he played one of the worst games of the ‘Scaloni Era’. For some reason, all the world champions seem to lose after the loss… On the other hand, there was the controversial referee of the always ‘accommodating’ Brazilian. Anderson Daroncowho chose not to send off in the first half (with the result 1-1) the Paraguayan Omar Alderete, the man who at the very beginning of the second half scored the winning goal in Albirroja…
Argentina, on the field, exploded against Daronco. The two Lionels, Messi and Scaloni, chose the same word to blame the Brazilian judge. The coach yelled “rude” at Daronco from the substitutes’ bench when he did not send Alderete off after his second infraction against Leo. And at the end of the first half, before going to the locker room, it was number 10 who faced the referee and also told him clearly: “Damn.”
Of course, after the game, Messi chose not to speak, something that didn’t happen many games ago. The only player who expressed himself was Rodrigo De Paul, who avoided controversy: “That’s what the referee interpreted and it’s fine.”
Meanwhile, in a press conference, Scaloni chose a speech that was completely opposite to his reaction on the field: “I can say a lot… But it doesn’t make sense because it seems to be a reason. I prefer not to say it precise for It’s not an excuse that we saw everything that happened on the field, but that has nothing to do with the result.”
