Uncovered behind the scenes, Messy was upset with Sampaol and was absolutely right.

The Argentinian players, led by Messin and Mascherano, sought the head of Coach Jorge Sampaoli and the rest of the training staff. This is discovered by Ariel Senosai, a silverite journalist of “TyC Sports” and “Ole”, in his book “

“The situation was critical and the players wanted to meet the coach. So they called Sampaoli at an emergency meeting, with his two assistants Sebastian Beccace and Lionel Scalon. The purpose of the meeting was clear to say that they no longer believed in him.

We're not going to take based on what you say, because we don't trust you anymore as a coach. We want to have an opinion”, ) went to Mascherano coach Sampaoli, who asked for it surprised: Opinion on what? The national veteran's response was clear: Opinion on everything. You put the team on the field, you run the training.

That's when Messy got his word and rebuked the coach for asking him during the game which player to throw into the field: “You've asked me ten times which players you need to activate, but I never gave you a name.

Tell me in front of everyone, whether I asked you to play this or that player to play, or not to play, sometimes”. In the hall, in addition to twenty-three players and three staff members of the training staff, Claudio Tapia was present. The AFA president knew in advance what they were going to say to the coach, who was just told: “You have to answer”

The start of the meeting had a clearly greater force than the end. The conclusion was consensus. So that the technician will focus and not change. And that he would listen to them. Sebastian Beccacece thought about resigning. It was stopped only by Tapia's request for his representative, Cristian Bragarnik: “Flitini to him, please, don't let him go, because it's the only one, that players listen to”.
