Argentina had faced a headwind in their first match of the tournament when they were beaten by the Saudi Arabian team. The team, united under the leadership of captain Lionel Messi, who called for “a time to be more united than ever before,” showed outstanding competitive strength and became the first team in 36 years to win the world championship.
Immediately after the semifinals, the international media focused on the behavior of the elite Albiceleste (the nickname for the Argentine national team). The Albiceleste (the nickname of the Argentine national team) were the focus of international media attention immediately after their quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, as they clashed with their opponents in a fracas.
In the interview room after the match, Messi said to his teammate F Wout Wefhorst, “What are you looking at, you idiot? Get out of here! Messi’s post-match interview with F Wout Wefhorst caused a stir, and he was even criticized by some European media.
Therefore, it was interesting to see how the Argentinians would treat the losers in the semifinals. This time, however, the Argentinians were cool as a cucumber. Angel Di Maria embraced his former Real Madrid colleague Luka Modric, while Lionel Messi and Zlatko Dalic shook hands and congratulated each other on a job well done.
The Argentine sports channel Tyc Sports captured the friendly atmosphere in an article titled “Heartfelt Greetings from Dalic and Messi After Dutch Dispute. In it, they emphasized the difference between the quarterfinals and the final.
After the match, the Argentine players greeted the Croatian players and exchanged uniforms. After the match, the Argentine players greeted the Croatian players and exchanged uniforms, which was completely different from the match against the Netherlands last Friday. The Albiceleste players showed no signs of anger, including during the match. Not even Leo Messi’s “historic words” were uttered. Our national team always returns the same respect to those who show respect, like Croatia, and we respect each other. The greeting between Messi and Dalic was a perfect example of this.
The Argentine players continued to act cleverly throughout the day. In a flash interview after the match, he said, “I hope Messi and Argentina win the tournament. They deserve it,” Modric replied, a rare sight after the match against the Netherlands.
