Mateo Kovacic: “Messi was phenomenal”
Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic commented on the Argentina national team’s defeat in the 2022 World Cup 1/2 final (0:3).
“Usually it’s hard for me to comment, I don’t know what to say. We did everything we could, if we could do better, we did. Now we will fight for third place.
Both situations are incomprehensible to me: first a corner that wasn’t there, then a penalty… I’ve never commented on the referees, but these are major mistakes and cost us the game. We knew they were aggressive, they were good and they had Messi. Today was extraordinary, congratulations.
But we fought and we got that ridiculous punishment. “It’s okay, now we must gather our strength and fight for this third place,” Kovacic said. said.
