Shocking video causes terror in Argentina.. Defender hits Messi
The captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi, escaped from a violent interference in a ball during which Venezuelan defender Adrian Martinez tried to clear the ball in front of the "flea" in a shocking manner, and if it were not for Messi's intelligence in avoiding full contact, he would have suffered an injury that could keep him out of the field for a long time.
Although Argentina defeated its host Venezuela 3-1 in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, it almost came out with a big loss with a horrific injury to Messi in the 29th minute, especially as the Venezuelan defender attacked the Argentine star’s leg directly, which the referee considered reckless. In order to injure the opponent, he issued a red card to his face immediately in the 32nd minute.
Messi is one of the rare people who are subjected to these deliberate interventions!!
And also one of the anecdotes that misses due to injury, Mashallah 💙 #Argentina_Venezuela pic.twitter.com/4KEtWLM9G3
