Speaking to DS Sports’ ‘Can Pass’ programme, the former Brighton man said:
“Me and Salah, all day long are saying ‘Anda Pa Alla Bobo!’ [What are you looking at fool] to Van Dijk. We are driving him crazy and we also do that among ourselves.”
Messi fumed at former Manchester United loanee Weghorst after Argentina knocked out the Netherlands on penalties.
Tempers flared in the game, with 15 yellow cards shown by Antonio Mateu Lahoz in the contest.
Messi aimed a celebration at Louis van Gaal and then Weghorst was in his firing line post-match.
In a revealing scene from the Netflix documentary “Captains Of The World,” Lionel Messi’s uncharacteristic behavior is captured as he rebuffs Wout Weghorst’s attempt to shake his hand during a post-match interview. Messi, expressing frustration in his native Spanish, essentially tells Weghorst to “Get out of here, fool!”
“I don’t like what I did,” Messi reflected in an interview with TyC Sports, via the Mirror. “I don’t like the ‘keep moving’ and all that. But well, they are moments of huge tension and huge nervousness and everything happens very fast.
One reacts the way one reacts, but nothing was planned. It just happened. I don’t like to leave that image, but these are things that happen.”
