Messi, speak up! Angry at the missing point + referee's decision, explaining the reason for the downturn: still fear of further injury.【fangjie】

In the first quarter-final of the Copa America that ended on July 5, defending champion Argentina beat Ecuador 5-3 on penalties to reach the semifinals. In this game, Argentina captain Messi played the first game in the penalty shootout, but the spoon penalty hit the lintel and almost became the team out of the sinner.



After the game, Messi also responded to the referee's judgment and the view of the missing point in an interview. Messi said: "I am very angry with the referee for the penalty, it should not have been there, I know the draw always comes in these moments. Also, I was angry at myself for missing the penalty, but I decided to play that way. I spoke to Dib and Lulli because I played a lot of diagonal balls."

For this difficult promotion, Messi also bluntly said that this is expected: "We know it will be a fierce, tough game. They have very good players. The pitch doesn't allow you to play as much as you want. That always makes it easier for defensive players. These days I try to shake off the discomfort. Today I feel much better and can compete. I don't have any discomfort, but the psychological fear of muscle injury is the most troubling." This may also explain why Messi's form has been a bit sluggish, and it is clear that Messi is still a little worried about getting injured again.
