‘Don’t Be a Hypocrite’: Canelo Alvarez Fires Back at Lionel Messi’s ‘B***d’ Friend

Football frenzy has the beanstalk attributes that outgrow the stadiums on the odd occasion. In the past, the hundred-hour war between El Salvador and Honduras is a grave reminder of the beautiful game’s sweeping hold. Canelo Alvarez’s recent outburst over Argentina’s celebrations after a demolishing victory over his country de él Mexico beckons a retrospection on the power of sports to squeeze out the most elementary feelings.

The Group C of FIFA’s latest edition in Qatar has Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland. For two-time champion Argentina, a surprise defeat at the hands of a team ranked fifty-first by FIFA records on November 22nd sent shock waves right up to Buenos Aires. The next fixture was a do-or-be-doomed nightmare for a country where every soccer player is nothing short of a demi-God.

Ranked thirteenth in FIFA, the Mexicans stand proud as the only team besides Brazil to have made the round of sixteen in every World Cup since the 1994 USA World Cup.

Not so good Albiceleste!

The wild celebrations inside the Argentine locker room ignited a fire now blowing out of proportion. Mexican world champion Canelo Alvarez took huge exception, especially since Lionel Messi purportedly disrespected the Mexican national flag or jersey. Coming out strongly, he said, “Saw Messi cleaning floor with our jersey and flag ? He should ask god that I don’t find him.”

Former soccer players have now come out in support of Messi. Finishing Canelo’s reaction akin to making a mole out of the mountain, former Argentine forward Sergio Aguero tweeted, “Mr. Canelo, don’t look for excuses or problems , surely you don’t know about football and what happens in a dressing room.”

“The shirts are always on the floor after the games are over due to sweat and then if you see well, he makes the movement to remove the prize and accidentally hits it.”

Messi’s former teammate at Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas, added in, “You neither know the person, nor do you understand how a dressing room works or what happens after a game.”

“ALL t-shirts, even the ones we wear ourselves, go on the floor and are washed afterwards. And more when you celebrate an important victory.”

Now it’s a poor judgment to expect a walk-over from the best counter-puncher in the world. Classic riposte a la Canelo Alvarez – “You b*****d too… you wrote to me oh oh canelo and now s*****g don’t be a hypocrite b*****d. “

Thus, tensions have risen.

When Memo faces the Blue and White onslaught

The match on expected lines was rough, needing the referee’s frequent interventions. However, the dull stalemate turned bright for the Albiceleste in the sixty-fourth minute. Lionel Messi drove the ball received from Di Maria to the extreme corner of the goal. Despite his valiant efforts by him to reach it, Ochoa could not halt the incoming ball. In the eighty-sixth minute, central midfielder Enzo Fernandez exploited the vulnerable corner of the goalpost again and sealed Mexico’s fate.

Staring a blank wall, the El Tri will have to defeat the Saudi Arabians. The Green Falcons, on the other hand, shared the former’s fate when they lost the second match against Poland.

In the meantime, several personalities within Mexico are trying to diffuse the boil-over.

We all need to get the basics right; sports boils down to having fun and enjoyment. When it crosses over the hallowed lines of healthy nationalism, it paves the way for skullduggery one-upmanship.
