Lucas Nava pronounces on his incident with Leo Messi

The Argentina national team got a narrow victory against Bolivia (1-2) after coming back from a game that was complicated by the initial goal of Marcelo Martins. Finally, Lautaro Martinez put the tables on the scoreboard so that Joaquin Correa I ended up closing the game with a goal in the final stretch. Three gold points for Argentina, which continues on its way to Qatar World Cup.

However, the party also had some controversial images that went around the world and that had Leo messi as the protagonist. Especially since the star of FC Barcelona erupted after alleged provocations by Lucas Nava, Argentine physical trainer for the Bolvian team, who addressed the Barça and Albiceleste captain on numerous occasions during the duel.

In a final tangana, Leo Messi exploded to recriminate his attitude: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you doing a stupid thing? You don’t have to come to screw me.” Later, in an apparently calmer tone, he continued telling Lucas Nava that “you were screaming the whole game, asshole. You were yelling at me from the bench,” until the meeting between the two finally broke up.

One day later, Lucas Nava himself went through the microphones of Radio Colonia to explain what happened and to, surprisingly, declare himself an unconditional fan of the captain of FC Barcelona and the Albiceleste team. “I grew up watching Leo Messi play, he is the greatest thing there is. I admire him so much that my son is called Lionel for him,” said the Argentine coach for the Bolivian national team.

Lucas Nava denied that he wanted to generate a controversy with Leo Messi and wanted to make it clear that it was all a misunderstanding with the Argentine star. “The game ended and I saw that a fight was taking place and I simply wanted to separate to avoid any kind of expulsion. At that moment it seems that there was a misunderstanding, but they are things that happen in the field,” he explained.

The physical trainer of the Bolivian team ended up admitting his mistake, despite the fact that at first he had not given greater importance to the matter. “I received insults and threats for the situation that happened with Leo Messi. It hurt me that my children heard how they talked about me,” acknowledged Lucas Nava, who had previously admitted his admiration for Leo Messi.
