Jorge Sampaoli is not well remembered by the Argentine fans, especially after his failure with the National Team in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In that event, he had a strong encounter with Lionel Messi, captain of the Albiceleste.
Now, the current coach of Sevilla made a criticism about the competition that will take place in Medio East and caused controversy. After Sevilla's last match in the Spanish league, Sampaoli referred to the World Cup in Qatar, where the National Team starts as favorites and will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the group stage.
