The current commentator, Rafael Van der Vaart, has made a controversial statement about the Argentine star
The Netherlands and Argentina face off in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, in a game full of expectations. The duel will take place at the Estádio Lusail next Friday at 16:00 (Brasilia time).
Rafael Van der Vaart, former Dutch player runner-up at the 2010 World Cup and current commentator, made a controversial statement on TV channel ‘NOS’, where he ‘needed’ Lionel Messi, saying the Argentine star is no longer experiencing his peak and that the number 10 of the Albiceleste shouldn’t frighten A Clockwork Orange.
– This Messi? I played against “Messi” and believe me, I was praying for my mother. Back then he was so good you couldn’t stop him. Now it is possible to stop him – said the former Dutch player.
Van der Vaart’s provocation, launched after Argentina beat Australia 2-1 in the round of 16, is not “lost” to the South American country’s press. The “Olé” newspaper replied to the former midfielder’s comment: “Another who will regret speaking too soon?”
