The cross between Messi and Lewandowski
“Messi and I talked a bit. It was fun. I told Messi that he was playing more defensive than usual, but sometimes that’s what the team needs.”said the striker in statements to the German newspaper Bild.
At the end of the game, the Pole fouled Messi in midfield and Messi was indifferent to the striker’s apology for the action.
“I came across Messi and it was very strange, yes. I was defending in midfield and I knew I had to help the team”assured Lewandoswski about the infraction and the fact that both were starring in an action in the middle of the field.
The talk was not very fluent since the Polish man speaks English and little Spanish (he arrived in Barcelona a few months ago), while Messi only speaks his native language.
The difference between how Messi and Lewandowski took these situations is notable since the Pole spoke freely about it and Messi, when asked by the press, only clarified:”I don’t want to talk about it, what happens on the pitch stays there.”
Argentina beat Poland 2-0 yesterday and both teams advanced to the round of 16.
