He called Messi treacherous and disrespected him, it went viral but now he loses his life
He was one of the few who dared to say what he thought of Messi, today he loses his life.
Few dare to give opinions, face to face, having a strong weight, in the media, to international figures who are considered the best in the world. The one who dared to do this was the journalist Jorge Da Silveira, who lost his life today at the age of 79.
The Uruguayan journalist had a strong weight when launching harsh opinions about the control that Lionel Messi had in Barcelona Football Club and how he manipulated his teammates, where Luis Suárez and Neymar Júnior were.
Jorge Da Silveira repeatedly assured that the world champion was in charge of managing the team. "Messi is in charge of raising a little finger, lowering a little finger, approving coaches or expelling them", those were the words of the most renowned journalist in Uruguay.
For him, Uruguay lost many footballers who could have been the best in the world. As is the case with Suárez, who always remained in the background because of Messi. For Toto, as he was nicknamed, the captain of the Argentine National Team is a very treacherous player because of his way of being in front of the public and how he behaves in private.
What was his greatest achievement?
Jorge Da Silveira managed to be one of the journalists with the most world cups covered. The Uruguayan was present from the 1966 World Cup in England to Qatar 2022. Last November, he was recognized by FIFA and the International Sports Press Association for his great work in these events.
