Lionel Messi insulted the jersey of Mexico?
That's how Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez felt. Did Messi disrespect his country's jersey while celebrating in Argentina's dressing room after winning against Mexico? Alvarez expressed his anger by posting a video on Twitter. Not only that, he threatened to kill Messi on social media.
Messi also spoke about the derogatory controversy of Mexico's jersey after beating Poland 2-0 in the last match of Group C yesterday. The Argentinian star told the media that Alvarez's talk about insulting the Mexican jersey is a misunderstanding, "I think it's a misunderstanding." Everyone who knows me knows that I never disrespect others. I have nothing to apologize for here. Because, I did not disrespect the Mexican national team or the Mexican people.
The captain of the Mexican team, Andres Guardado, also gave his own cold reaction in this regard, "What was seen in the video is nothing unusual." That's what happens in a football dressing room. Apart from that, the matter of Messi is completely unintentional.
The incident happened in Argentina's dressing room after the Argentina-Mexico match. One video shows a Mexican national team jersey lying on the floor. Which may have been received as a souvenir after the match by an Argentinian player. The Mexican jersey was placed on the floor along with their own jersey. By accident, the jersey fell under Messi's feet.
Alvarez finally apologized to Messi in the face of criticism, "The last few days I have been in a state of love for my country." I may have made some comments that were not relevant. So I apologize to Messi and the Argentine people.
In the other match yesterday, Mexico beat Saudi Arabia 2-1, but they have to be eliminated from the first round. Although the points of Poland and Mexico are equal, Poland is the partner of Argentina in the second round due to goal difference.
