Wesley recalls a 1-4 defeat to Argentina: Everyone on the opponent is like Messi

Hupu, September 8th, Brazil's national team right-back Wesley, recalled their 1-4 defeat to world champion Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. It was at the Monument Stadium in March: "We went to the game, we tried, and worked hard, but that night, everyone on the opponent was like Messi." The special thing about that game was that Messi did not appear due to an injury to the adductor of his left leg during the Miami International Games. However, the team led by Scaloni performed well. With the goals of Alvarez, Enzo, McAllister and Giuliano Simeone, the world champion completely crushed Brazil, which also led to the dismissal of Brazil's then head coach Dorival Junior.

"It was a painful experience, everyone fought for victory, but not always, we know what kind of strength Argentina has," Wesley said. He believes that Brazil successfully recovered from that tragic failure and secured its qualification to compete in the next World Cup. "Thank God, we qualify for the World Cup, so that result is not a problem, and it's not because of Argentina that we didn't qualify. It's not our night, but losing doesn't mean the end of the world," he commented in an interview with Brazil's TNT Sports Channel.

Finally, Wesley commented on Ancelotti, who just coached the team for three games: "We haven't worked with him for a long time, but we can feel that the team has more fighting spirit. We are showing what we want on the court, which is very important." Brazil has just beat Chile 3-0. They will end the qualifiers next week. They are currently ranked second in the standings with 28 points, 10 points behind Argentina.
