Argentina striker Lionel Messi commented on the team's defeat in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay (0: 2).
"We expected the game to be difficult. They have physically strong players. They acted quickly in the midfield. It was difficult for us to find our football. You can see Bielsa's hand. In all the teams where he worked, including the Argentine national team, his style was noticeable.
Once we had to lose, it was a test. I have long said that this could happen. Now we have to come to our senses and play well against Brazil," Ole quoted Messi as saying.
