In an heated Conmebol World Cup qualification between Argentina and Brazil, the match was already accused of controversial statements before the game. Argentina led 3-1 when a burning exchange saw Brazil’s Rodryo provoke Argentina’s Leandro Paredes, which responded with a statement about his World Cup triumph.
The change began in the 39th minute when Nicolás Tagliafico tackled Raphinha, which led to a strong pressure from the Brazilian wing. This led to a reaction from both teams, which resulted in yellow cards for the two players involved.
However, the voltage escalated when the cameras caught Rodrygo and paredes against. Real Madrid forward haunted paredes and said: “You are very bad. “The Argentina midfielder did not go back and answered,”I have a World Cup and two Copa Américas, you have zero. “
RODRYGO: “You’re very bad.” PAREDES: “I have 1 World Cup and 2 Copa America’s, you have zero.” 🥶🥶
Paredes and Argentina’s reaction comes after the several statements made before the start of the game. The most influencing comment was from Raphinha, who on conversation with Romario TV, made a strong message: “We will give Argentina a beat, no doubt. “
The only one who spoke publicly on the statements was Coach Lionel Scaloni, who made a more pacifist attitude. “It’s an Argentina-Brazil match, it’s always an important game, but it’s still just a football match. I remember the picture after the 2021 Copa America final in Leo sitting with Neymar on the stairs to Maracana, and that’s the picture that should stay with us all“Pronounced Argentina manager at the press conference.
