Some hours before the quarterfinals against Netherlands, the news that scares Messi
Lionel Messi found a new reason why to fear the Netherlands.
Argentina and the Netherlands will meet in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, looking to get into the best four of the tournament that takes place in the Middle East. For an albiceleste team, it has a special flavor to face the Dutch, since he will try to leave Louis van Gaal behind, with whom he has a bad relationship due to his past in England.
It's about Angel Di Maria. The 'Noodle', who still has not guaranteed his performance in the quarterfinals due to the muscular overload he had against Poland, seeks to get even with the coach of the Netherlands, with whom he met at Manchester United and had a sharp relationship that triggered the premature departure of the Premier League winger.

After winning the Champions League in 2014 with Real Madrid, the Argentine national team was signed by Manchester United. However, he had a hard time with Van Gaal on the bench of the ‘red devils’, in fact, it was possibly the worst moments of his fantastic career.
"We won a game 3-0, I made an assist and a goal, the next day in training he showed me videos of the passes I had missed, he had been playing well and out of nowhere he cleaned me up," the 'Fideo' said some time ago about the treatment of the Dutch.
Argentina's record against the Netherlands:
In World Cups, Argentina and the Netherlands have met five times. There are two victories for the Albiceleste, including the 1978 World Cup final, two wins for the Europeans and a tie. The team led by Lionel Scaloni is going for a new victory in Qatar that puts the country in a new semifinal in its entire history.
