Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi surprisingly refused to receive a medal ranked third in the Copa America 2019, after beating Chile 2-1 at the Corinthians Arena on Sunday (7/7/2019) early morning hrs.
He saw an effort to thwart his team to win in this event. According to him, the Albiceleste have always been troubled since the first game so they always appear stumbling.
Moreover, he had complained about his team always getting a field with bad conditions, and the leadership of the referee which he considered biased when Argentina defeated Brazil in the semifinals. Messi also stressed his reluctance to accept medals as a form of protest.
"We don't need to be a part of the corruption that has caused suffering throughout the tournament. We don't need to be part of a lack of respect for this tournament. We should be able to walk further, but they did not let us go to the final, "he was quoted as saying by the US.
In the match, Messi was unable to finish the match because he was on a red card after a fight with Chilean player Gary Medel. However, he saw that in return for the words he had uttered during the tournament.
"There should be enough yellow cards for what happened between us, but this might be the impact of what I had said. Most importantly the team can finish the tournament well. Maybe this (the expulsion) is an order (from above) and I suffer for what has been said, "he said. { Source }
