Lionel Messi is known as a gentle and calm footballer. The Argentinian little magician is not seen falling into any unwanted trouble. But a different Messi is seen in this World Cup.
Around the quarter-finals, Argentina-Netherlands, both sides were separated. Dutch coach von Gaal's words on him were also provocative. All together, many things about Messi are now discussed, including the criticism of refereeing as well as the expression of different enthusiasm. In addition, the Dutch forward Vout Veghorst, who scored a couple of goals, did not escape anyone's eyes.
With Argentina leading by two goals, it was Veghorst who came on as a substitute and scored a brace to bring the match back to life. Messi was angry with this Dutch forward while talking to the media after the match. The incident happened at the end of the match. He was seen shouting at someone before giving an interview to TYC Sports journalist Gaston Edul. Messi can then be heard saying, 'Why are you looking at this, you idiot. Go that way.' That person was Veghorst himself.
Many people are wondering why Messi was so upset? Later it was learned that this Dutch footballer harassed them in various ways on the field. However, many did not expect that a footballer like Messi would behave like this.
Veghorst, who was bullied by Messi, claimed, 'I went to shake hands with him at the end of the match, but Messi did not respond. Didn't talk to me with respect, treated me badly. I don't understand Spanish very well, but was very disappointed. Really disappointed.'
