The harsh statements of the Brazilian legend Zico addressed to Messi: “He lacks leadership”
The Argentine National Team did not have the perfect start they expected in the Qatar 2022 World Cup after losing 2 goals to 1 against Saudi Arabia in a match in which they started winning.
As a result of that, the Albiceleste and its figures, especially Messi, have been criticized from all sides.
Now it was Arthur Antunes Coimbrabetter known as Zico, who did not hesitate to make his thoughts on the PSG striker public.
The biggest criticism of the Brazilian was directed towards the captaincy of “10” in the Albiceleste Selection, “He is a captain who does not talk to anyone, I think he lacks leadership”exposed the former player of teams such as Flamengo, and Kashima Antlers, and ended with a “He wears the tape just because it’s Messi”.
Zico played with the Brazilian National Team in three World Cups (1978, 1982 and 1986) where he saw the Argentine National Team win twice.
The Argentine National Team will play its second game in the World Cup in Qatar this Saturday, its rival will be the Mexican National Team and if they don’t win, they would be saying goodbye to the competition.
