Messi to Zambrano: “Que haces, bobo?”. Guerrero: “The referee always blew the whistle in his favor”

“Que miras bobo?” is one of the most iconic phrases of the last World Cup Lionel Messi during the heated quarter-final match against the Netherlands and the recipient of the insult (“bobo” means “stupid”) was Wout Weghorst. Tonight, the Argentine champion did it again and this time he took it out on the Peruvian defender Carlos Zambrano, guilty of having given him too “special” treatment in marking. After giving him a dirty look, she said, “What are you doing, stupid?” (“que haces, bobo?”).

An episode that is part of a very tough match, won narrowly by Scaloni’s team. However, the guests complained about the refereeing being a little too favorable to the world champions: Paolo Guerrero (40 years old) targeted the Colombian Wilmar Roldan after the match, who in his opinion would have whistled many non-existent fouls, especially on Messi: “I don’t know what your analysis of this match is, but physically I think we were at the same level. It’s a bit difficult when the referee influences you: they hit us but not even a foul was sanctioned; we just had to touch Messi with our finger and he would whistle straight away. And no one says anything because it’s Messi.”
