Midfielder of the Spanish "Barcelona" and the Netherlands national team Frenkie de Jong commented on the defeat of his team from Argentina (2:2, on pen. - 2:4) in yesterday's match of the 1/4 finals of the 2022 World Cup.
“I had a feeling that this would be our World Cup. And then, considering how everything was going for us at the tournament, I was already sure that we would win it.
As for the match against Argentina, we, of course, knew that the main danger would come from Messi. We tried to play in such a way that someone was always next to him. But even with the tightest guardianship, it is very difficult to cope with Messi. He is the best player of all time. In any match, he will have several dangerous moments, no matter how you play with him, ”NOS.nl quotes de Jong.
