PSG: the author of the ugly tackle on Messi apologizes … halfway

His name is Adrian Martinez, he is Venezuelan and he almost gave nightmares to all football lovers and PSG fans in particular. He was the author of the very nasty tackle on Lionel Messi during the 2022 World Cup qualifying match between Argentina and Venezuela.

Following this very very dangerous gesture in the 28th minute of play, the PSG star flew into the air before falling and writhing in pain. He remained a long time lying on the lawn, worrying then all his entourage until in the offices of the PSG. Fortunately, more fear than harm: the “Pulga” was able to get up and finish the match, victim of a big blow and a nasty cut on the knee.

Expelled for this dangerous gesture and prohibited in all game manuals, Adrian Martinez precipitated his team to a defeat against the recent Copa America winners (3-1). On the front page of all the media on the continent, the player who plays at Deportivo La Guaira posted a message on his Twitter account: “Words fail me today. Those who know me know that I do not intend to harm the physical integrity of another player. I just want to apologize to the technical staff, my teammates and all the Vinotinto fans (Editor’s note: the nickname of the Venezuelan selection) who support us from the bottom of their hearts. I love my country and I take responsibility for it. “In his message, he does not quote at any time the star of PSG and apologizes especially to the fans of his selection for having abandoned it very early.

Argentina won the match 3-1 and will challenge Brazil on the night from Sunday to Monday. The latest news is that Lionel Messi should take his place.
