(MENAFN – Wadsam) Secure Argentina
third place in the Copa America beating Chile in a very hot match.
Argentina beat Chile 2 to 1 in Copa America, with Messi
provide badistance to Sergio Aguero and get a red card with only eight
minutes remaining in the match.
After a clash with Gary Medel, Messi received a red card for only
second time in his career, the first being his
international debut fourteen years ago.
Medel pushed Messi's face early and they quarreled
before the referee came and sent them both back. In replays, however,
appeared that Messi had not reacted aggressively to Medel's actions when he had
pushed his face.
After the match, Messi refused to recover his third place
medal with his teammates.
"I feel a lot of anger because I do not think I deserve
this red card because I think we were playing a very good game. We were early,
but, as I said recently, there is unfortunately a lot of corruption, the
the referees. … We leave with the feeling that they did not allow us to be in the
final, that we were ready for better. The match of Brazil and the match of today were our
two best performances, but when you're sincere, you say things and these
things are going on, says Messi.
Argentina has been denied two claims in the form of penalties in the semi-final against Brazil, to which Messi has expressed strong criticism.
Brazil and Peru will face Copa finals
America this Sunday.
