On this day three years ago, Argentina needed a win against Mexico to stay alive in the Qatar World Cup. Had Mexico won, Argentina would have been virtually eliminated after their loss to Saudi Arabia in the previous match. But in the 64th minute, Messi scored this left-footed missile past Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa, giving hope back to millions of Argentines and reminding the world that their World Cup dream was still alive 👏
What a historic moment 🙌
🚨🗣️ Marcelo Bielsa on losing games after his recent poor form with Uruguay:
“I am a great generator of tension. When I arrive, the atmosphere becomes tense. That’s why I appear so little... I am toxic. Having a relationship with me makes the other person worse."
"I'm kind of guy who only sees mistakes, who demands, who is never satisfied, who corrects, who only likes to talk about work, who goes out to eat and brings a notebook so he doesn’t have to interact. I live it as a sort of karma, and that behavior is rooted in fear."
"I am afraid of losing much more than I enjoy winning. So that obsessiveness comes from seeking ways to stay away from defeat."
"I wish I lived the complete opposite of what I live—like Menotti or Cruyff, great ‘irresponsible’ men. Those guys deserve applause."
