The captain of the Argentine national team showed his anger with FIFA for the measures that would be taken.

Lionel Messi's life has changed after the title obtained in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Some time after having achieved his ultimate dream, the Argentine captain spoke to the Argentine sports media Olé about the sanctions that FIFA would make official towards Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez for his attitudes during the celebrations.

"It seems unfair to me that a message has been installed against Argentina's behavior, we always did it in an exemplary manner both on and off the field," explained Messi. The Argentine star said that if he and his teammates were angry it was because the rivals had previously provoked them and sought to break their concentration, so the rivals did not comply with the rules of the so-called 'Fair Play'.

Dibu Martinez is usually a character on the field, and in that match against the Netherlands he remained true to his style. After so much tension during the match and the penalty shootout from which the Argentine team emerged victorious, Martinez was very effusive in his celebrations and had a few disagreements with the Dutch players.

However, Messi showed his dissatisfaction with the sanctions that the Federation would impose on Dibu Martinez and supported him. "I think FIFA does not analyze, everyone talks about what Argentina did in the celebrations, after winning, but no one talks about what happened before", said the former Barcelona player.

When will the sanctions be official?

FIFA, through an official statement, informed that it had opened a file against the Argentine Football Association for offensive and improper behavior during the Qatar 2022 World Cup, although there is still no precise information on what the sanctions will be and when they will be issued.
