After winning the Copa América with the Argentine team, Lionel Messi's next objective was to prepare himself in the best way to play the World Cup in Qatar. However, he was close to having his dream ruined, due to the excessive action of a player in the Qualifiers. Now, the author of the harsh entry is hit by karma and he was erased from his country.

In September 2021, the team led by Lionel Scaloni visited Venezuela and won 3-1. However, the result was in the background after the foul received by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and which put his physical condition at risk. Product of the harsh entry, the author of the action was expelled and is currently in a third-order league.

This is Luis Adrian Martinez. The defender barely played seven minutes against the current world champion and saw the red card for the almost fatal tackle against the Albiceleste captain. After what happened in the South American Qualifiers, the defender was called five more times to the "Vinotinto" and was later deleted. What's more, for the friendlies in March he wasn't even returned to see his manager.

Where is the player who almost broke Lionel Messi currently?

The 29-year-old defender has been playing since September 2022 in Saudi Arabia. He was signed by Al Taee, where he has barely played eight games. His irregular present caused him to no longer be taken into account by Venezuela. The team that was led by José Pékerman will seek to make history in the next Qualifiers and try to qualify for their first World Cup.
