Frenkie De Jong thinks the referee for the game between Argentina and the Netherlands lost his footing late in the game. The Dutchman considers that Lionel Messi is no stranger to it.
Asked about the match lost by his selection against the Albiceleste (2-2, 3-4 tab), Frenkie de Jong did not mince his words with regard to the referee. The midfielder believes the Man in Black came under pressure from the Argentines: “As soon as regulation time ended, they went to get him. From then on, he only whistled Argentina. It was really outrageous. » The Barça player accuses one player in particular: “I think he got lost in added time and maybe Lionel Messi’s greatness had something to do with it”he added.
As a reminder, the two players played together at Barça between 2019 and 2021. The World Cup quarter-final could well have sealed the chances of finding them both at PSGin the coming months.
