Dutch striker Wouter Figurst has revealed behind-the-scenes his crisis with Argentine captain Lionel Messi following the end of the World Cup quarter-final match between the sides.
And Messi appeared during a media interview attacking the Dutch player, saying: You idiot, who are you looking at like that? go from here.
“I wanted to shake his hand after the game,” Figurst said after the game. “I certainly have a lot of respect for him as a player.”
He continued, “But he threw his hand at me and didn’t want to talk to me. My Spanish isn’t good. I know he said disrespectful words to me, and that really disappoints me.”
The two teams clashed several times during the match, during and after the penalty shootout, which forced the match referee to issue 15 yellow cards, which is the most in a match in the history of the World Cup.
