Shocking! Reporter criticized Messi for enjoying the privilege of "good kids": more power than the president, he will turn his face if he loses a game

After Argentina drew with Colombia, Messi had a dispute with James Rodriguez on the court over his previous controversial remarks, and journalist Eduardo Aguire took the opportunity to express his sharp criticism of Messi. The eight-time Golden Globe winner argued fiercely with Colombia star Rodriguez on the court, which caused the latter to question the referee's penalty for Argentina's 2024 Cup of America.

Rodriguez once publicly stated that Argentina's ability to win the Copa America as the defending champion of the World Cup is largely due to the referee's favorable penalty. Although Messi strongly opposed this statement, journalist Aguire expressed support for Rodriguez on the Spanish show El Chiringuito TV: "James said what many of us think of Messi. Messi got a lot of things he didn't deserve. He is indeed one of the best players in history, but because he is a good boy and a good boy, people have given him too many preferential treatments that he shouldn't deserve. Everything is almost always ready for him to win."

"Now this 'good boy' loses the game and shows his true colors. He not only makes trouble but also will not admit defeat. The player we see has greater power than the president. At that time, Argentina fell behind 0-1 and had one less player to fight, so he panicked, which revealed that he didn't know how to face failure at all."

In the World Cup qualifiers held on Wednesday, Argentina led by Messi drew 1-1 with Colombia, recreating the last Copa America final. The defending world champion has secured a ticket to the 2026 North American World Cup in advance, and there are two rounds left in the qualifiers.
