Argentina was in a desperate situation before the match against Colombia, that took place last night in San Juan. Leo Messi and his team were not included among the places for the World Cup set to take place in Russia in 2018.
The Barcelona star opened the scoring and provided two assists to Pratto and Di Maria reporting a 3-0 score, which placed Argentina on the 5th place of the intercontinental dam.
At the end of the game instead of speaking in the traditional press conference, the players made a shocking statement.
Lionel Messi and his team members took the word in front of a room full of journalists. His statement was brief and marked the start of a period in which the players of the national team will not address to the press.
Everything started from a disturbing article published in a local newspaper who suggested that Lavezzi is consuming drugs.
‘I am here to announce that we decided to not speak with the press. We received too many serious accusations from the press. We are sorry that we have to do this but we don’t have other options. We know that many of you do not have any guilt but the subject is too severe and we cannot continue like this. We will not play this game.’, said Messi in the room packed with journalists.
‘We were accused a lot. No respect was being shown and we never said anything. But this accusation against Lavezzi was it. If we don’t stop it today, we’ll never stop it. We know that you will continue to criticize us, that’s fine. However, some got into our personal lives.’, added Lionel.
