While Van Gaal denounced aid, what Klopp said about Messi and Argentina's World Cup

The World Cup that the Argentine National Team won in Qatar 2022 generated opposite positions. On the one hand, the majority was happy with the fact that Lionel Messi finally obtained the most important title in the country, while on the other there were those who repudiated the way of celebrating of the Albiceleste players and denounced referee aid for the penalties. that they awarded to those directed by Lionel Scaloni throughout the contest.

Now, one of those who went further was Louis Van Gaal, who lost to Argentina in the quarterfinals in the remembered battle of Lusail and went so far as to declare just a few weeks ago: “If you see the goals that Argentina scores, how We score the goals and how some Argentine players crossed the line and were not sanctioned... I think it was all a premeditated. Messi should be world champion? Yes”.

This generated a wave of criticism against the Dutch coach, who had spoken badly of La Pulga in the previous round and then suffered karma when the '10' scored and celebrated in his face by celebrating with his hands behind his ears. Now, another renowned coach like Jürgen Klopp spoke on the subject and had a completely opposite opinion to that of Van Gaal. On the contrary, the German technical director, who has Alexis Mac Allister in his finals, was full of praise for the Albiceleste and Messi.

What did Jürgen Klopp say about Messi and the World Cup that the Argentine National Team won?

“Argentina deserved the World Cup. It was the best final I saw in my life. When you saw how they celebrated it, it probably hit the right country in difficult times. Happy for them! Lionel Messi? He is the best footballer I have ever seen in my life. The way he plays football at the moment should give us all an idea of how long footballers can perform at the highest level. It was a pleasure to see him”.
