Leonel Mesii was held accountable by Portugal’s Captain Pepe for yesterday’s defeat to Morocco.
Yesterday, Portugal suffered a defeat against Morocco, and Star Pepe blamed Messi for their exit.
Pepe said that Lionel Messi’s Friday remarks contributed to the way the Argentine referee performed in their loss against Morocco.
Pepe believes Messi’s criticism of the referee after Argentina’s victory over the Netherlands on Friday night had an impact on Argentine referee Facundo Tello’s performance yesterday
“We dominated the game 100 percent of the game, but I think what the referee did today, this referee is Argentinean, after what Messi said yesterday it seems there’s something very weird” Pepe said as per ESPN
“We couldn’t play in the second half because the referee kept stopping the game, I’m very angry, very angry because the referee didn’t let us play”
EVEN BRUNO FERNANDES HAS COMMENTED
“I don’t know if they’re going to give the cup to Argentina, I don’t care, I’m going to say what I think and screw them” said Bruno
