More information has emerged as the Argentina team failed to win the world cup, despite being the favourites.
According reports, the Argentine goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, tried to rally the team after half-time as he urged his teammates to push forward instead of playing backwards like “cowards.”
The team captain, Lionel Messi also tried boost the morale of his teammates, but they could still not match the fire power of the Spanish team.
“Come on, with heart, boys, hey,” the Aston Villa goalkeeper urged during a speech he made trying to get his teammates to reverse the overwhelming dominance of the Spaniards at halftime.
“Playing with heart means pushing forward, not retreating; it means advancing. Forward, forward, forward, forward.
“Cowards play backwards, let’s move forward. Three passes and we find Leo, let me see us build it from the back too.”
Also, team captain, Messi, attempted to rally the boys calling on them to, “Come on, boys, character, everyone, character. We’ve always had it, aren’t we going to show it now?
“Come on, hey. Character to play, let’s play our football, let’s play, come on.”
