World Cup: Lionel Messi Breaks Silence On Penalty Miss Against Poland
Argentina struggled on the night against Poland before they finally won a penalty following a hard knock on Lionel Messi in the 18-yard box.
However it seems their hopes went back crashing after Lionel Messi failed to convert the penalty, kicking the ball right into the Goalie’s chosen direction but the Argentines managed to find a 2-goal lead by the end of the full time.
Speaking after the game, Lionel Messi reacted to his penalty miss stating; “Having missed the penalty, the team came out stronger from that.
“The team was convinced that we were going to win, it was a matter of the first one coming in. Once we scored the goal, the game was going to be played the way we wanted.”
“We said it from the beginning. The players who come in know what they have to do and are always fully prepared. It is the strength of this group, the union and that when a player has to, he responds,” the 35-year-old continued.
“We know it’s going to be very tough,” he added.
