The only player who disrespected Messi and refused to play with him

Lionel Messi is for many, the best player in history, and if not, at least he has been one of the best for more than 16 years. In addition, he has been characterized by his humility and his good character. For that same reason, it is surprising to see when someone is not a fan of Lionel, as is the case.

There is great expectation in the country for the matches of the team led by Scaloni at the Monumental stadium and in Santiago del Estero. The first meeting will take place on the River Plate stage, this March 23, before a spectacular setting of 83 thousand people. Prior to the match against the Central Americans.

Now, shortly after the Argentine National Team's first commitment after winning the World Cup in Qatar, Scaloni revealed to the player that he was not sure of sharing a dressing room with Lionel Messi and decided to accept Italy's offer. This is Mateo Retegui, scorer for Tigre, who sought the easy way out and did not expect a call-up in the future and did not hesitate to go to the 'Azzurra'.

What Scaloni thinks about Retegui:

At a press conference, the 2021 Copa América, 2022 Finalissima and Qatar World Cup champion referred to Retegui and noted: “I am not in favor of trying to convince someone. When you're not convinced, there's no point cutting your path. We were not convinced to summon him. The reality is that we cannot tell him not to go to Italy. You have to think about the boy and we have players in that position who are doing well”.
