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.
