Lo de Florencia Peña es un horror. Y me solidarizo con Occhiato, porque no tiene ninguna responsabilidad de lo que sucedió. Cuando vos contratás una persona que tiene 40 años en el medio, no le tenés que explicar que no tiene que decir que alguien murió si no lo comunica la familia.
Quiero expresar que lo que acaba de suceder al aire de LUZU me indigna igual que a todos ustedes, no me representan a mí ni a lo que queremos transmitir desde nuestro trabajo. Mi desacuerdo es total.
Corresponde una revision interna y una sanción contundente porque fue un error inadmisible para mi forma de comunicar.
Lionel Scaloni reacts emotionally after Lionel Messi’s hat-trick:
🗣️ “I honestly couldn’t hold it back anymore… when Lionel Messi scored that third goal, I completely broke down on the sidelines because of everything that moment represented.”
“It wasn’t just about the hat-trick or the scoreline… it was about everything he has done for this team, for this shirt, for this country, and for the millions of people who have followed his journey from the very beginning.”
“As a coach, you are supposed to stay calm, think clearly, make decisions, and control emotions in every situation… but sometimes football takes over and reminds you that you are also just a human being.”
“When you see a player give absolutely everything over so many years, carry so much pressure, and still perform at this level in a World Cup, it becomes emotionally overwhelming even from the touchline.”
“He doesn’t just score goals for Argentina or win matches… he carries the hopes, dreams, and emotions of an entire nation every single time he steps onto the pitch.”
“In that moment after the third goal, I wasn’t thinking like a coach anymore, I wasn’t thinking about tactics or the game… I was just proud, emotional, and deeply grateful to be witnessing something like that so close.”
“You look at him and you slowly realise that what we are watching is not normal anymore… this is something that belongs in football history forever, something that will never be repeated in the same way.”
“That hat-trick didn’t just change the game or the result… it created a moment of pure emotion that will stay with me for the rest of my life as a coach.”
🎙️🚨 Thierry Henry after Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick vs Algeria
🗣️ “Messi is genuinely the most underrated player I’ve ever seen. He’s getting closer to 1000 goals too. When he achieves that, I’d kick anyone in the head who compares him to humans again
He left Europe so other players could shine. We all know he is still the best player in the world. Olise and Yamal is next,but for now let’s keep enjoying Messi. He breathes modern and ancient football
How many players have scored a hat-trick in the first round of the game at the World Cup? Not many. He doesn’t chase records,he is the records. The earth is 7.9 billion years old and I came in Messi’s era. I’m lucky.” 👏
Mohamed Salah on Lionel Messi’s masterclass vs Algeria:
🗣️ “I watched the full game of Lionel Messi against Algeria, and honestly… what he did was just ridiculous from start to finish.”
“From the first whistle, you could already see he was in that kind of mood where everything he touches turns into danger, and as a player you just feel it immediately.”
“I’ve seen many great performances in my career, but the control he had over the game, the calmness, and the way he made it look so easy was something else entirely.”
“When I say ridiculous, I mean it in the purest way… because even when Algeria tried everything defensively, he still found space, time, and solutions that shouldn’t exist.”
“As a player, you watch that and you don’t even get frustrated first you just admire it, because it’s like watching someone playing a different version of football.”
“There were moments where I honestly thought the move was dead, and then suddenly he creates a chance or a goal out of nowhere like it’s nothing.”
“That’s why people call him special… because even when you prepare for him, you still end up reacting instead of stopping him.”
“Tonight was another reminder that Messi is not just a top player… he is a once-in-a-generation type of talent.

Rodrigo De Paul on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi inside the national team:
🗣️ “People always ask me what Messi is like inside the Argentina camp. The truth is, for us, he is much more than just our captain or our best player.”
“He is the guy who carried this country through pressure, criticism, heartbreak, and impossible expectations for so many years without ever giving up on Argentina.”
“When Messi walks into the dressing room, everybody notices. Not because he demands attention, but because of the respect he has earned from every single player who wears this shirt.”
“There have been matches where players were exhausted, injured, barely able to run, but the moment Messi received a bad tackle, everyone suddenly found extra energy to fight for him.”
“I've seen teammates sprint fifty metres just to defend him. I've seen players argue with opponents, stand up to referees, and put themselves on the line because they feel they owe him that much.”
“People outside football may not understand it, but when you share a pitch with Messi, you don't just want to win for Argentina... you want to win for him too.”
“For many of us, seeing Messi happy after a victory feels almost as important as the result itself because we know everything he has sacrificed for this country.”
“And honestly, inside that dressing room, Messi isn't treated like a superstar... he's treated like football royalty. For many Argentine players, he is as close to a football god as we will ever see.”

Ufff, este video de Lionel Scaloni CONTENIENDO EL LLANTO DE EMOCIÓN después de abrazarlo a Lionel Messi al salir reemplazado.
“TE QUIERO MUCHO”, le dijo al capitán.
Qué hermoso momento. 🥹🇦🇷
Zinedine Zidane sobre la controversia de la tarjeta roja a Lionel Messi contra Argelia:
🗣️ “He visto el incidente con Lionel Messi varias veces ya, desde diferentes ángulos, y honestamente no entiendo cómo algunas personas están pidiendo una tarjeta roja.”
“Sí, hay contacto. Nadie lo niega. Pero el fútbol es un deporte de contacto, y cada contacto no se convierte automáticamente en una expulsión solo porque las redes sociales quieren una historia más grande.”
“Lo que me decepciona es que la gente esté pasando más tiempo hablando de un momento accidental que hablando de la obra maestra futbolística que Messi produjo durante noventa minutos.”
“Un jugador marca un hat-trick, rompe récords, domina un partido de la Copa del Mundo, y de alguna manera la conversación se convierte en un desafío que duró unos segundos. Eso lo dice todo.”
“Para mí, la intención importa. El contexto importa. La velocidad de la acción importa. Y cuando miro el incidente, veo una acción de fútbol, no a un jugador tratando de lastimar a un oponente.”
“Creo que algunas personas ya se habían formado una opinión antes de que se mostrara la repetición. Si ese mismo incidente involucrara a otro jugador, no creo que todavía estuviéramos discutiéndolo horas después.”
“La verdad es simple: Messi no escapó de una tarjeta roja. No había una tarjeta roja de la que escapar. El árbitro lo vio, el VAR lo revisó, y llegaron a la misma conclusión.”
“En lugar de buscar controversia, tal vez deberíamos apreciar lo que presenciamos esta noche: uno de los mejores jugadores en la historia del fútbol entregando otra actuación inolvidable en la Copa del Mundo.”
Vladimir Petković on Lionel Messi’s masterclass against Algeria in Argentina’s World Cup opener:
🗣️ “We came into this match with a plan, with discipline, with belief… but sometimes football puts you against a player who can destroy even the best preparation with a single touch of the ball.”
“What Lionel Messi produced tonight was not just a great performance, it was a football lesson delivered by one of the greatest minds and talents this sport has ever seen.”
“You tell your players to stay compact, stay focused, don't give him space… and then somehow he still finds a way to create magic where there should be none.”
“The most frustrating thing is that you can actually do many things right defensively and still end up suffering because he sees passes, movements, and opportunities that nobody else on the pitch can see.”
“At 38 years old, most players are talking about retirement, managing minutes, or slowing down. Messi is still deciding World Cup matches, breaking records, and making elite defenders look helpless.”
“I looked at my bench after his third goal and there was almost disbelief on everyone's face. Not because we were losing, but because we were witnessing something special that may never happen again.”
“People will talk about the hat-trick, the records, and the statistics, but what impressed me most was the authority. He controlled the match as if the game itself was moving at his pace.”
“I have coached against great players in my career, but tonight felt different. Tonight felt like football history stopping for ninety minutes to remind the world exactly who Lionel Messi is.”
