๐ฃ๏ธ Gonzalo Higuain: โWhen we lost the WC final in 2014, in the dressing room, no one spoke to me because of the missed opportunity. Some were looking at me angrily. I felt guilty, but Messi surprised me with a hug and said to me, โItโs okay, this is football. We have reached the final. We are champions.โ
Then I was reported that the coach did not want me back in the national team, but Messi intervened and spoke to the coach and told him that he had no fault in all of this. We all lose in football, we are not perfect. Then the coach called on me to play in the matches.
If it were not Messi, I would have been feel guilty until today. I am happy for him that he won the World Cup. He deserves it. He has a great heart.โ
This is so forced its insane. To still put them in the same sentence in 2023 is absurd. It never made sense but to do it at this point is just an insult to Messi. Plain and simple.
