Video: Antonela Roccuzzo imitated Messi, “What are you looking at, idiot?”

Angry face, the gaze fixed on a Dutchman and the phrase that is already a shirt, mug, hashtag and more: “What are you looking at, idiot? Go there, idiot”. Lionel Messi’s statement shortly before giving an interview went around the world. It’s not common to see him so, so angry, but the quarterfinal match, with the spicy preview, the controversies and the penalties, got the captain to play and talk; nothing was saved. OR Antonela, his partner, who imitated him with pure laughter.

The Messi’s phrase was printed on the shirts, it was a meme (obviously it could not be otherwise), it appears in various elements, scour the internet. It will be remembered. For example, it is one of those statements by Maradona that we will never forget. Diego’s are eternal and Leo’s goes like this.

Messi’s anger was with Dutchman Wout Weghorstwhich has stung during the match and on penaltiesand one of the videos that went viral involving impersonations of the 10 was none other than Antonella, his partner. Leaving Lusail after the victory and chatting with the Messi family (a brother hurls the “andá pa’ allá”), she smiles and repeats: “What are you looking at, stupid?” She says it several times, looks at the camera and continues on her way. Laughter is part of the moment.

The “what are you looking at, stupid?” by Antonella

What was Weghorst doing while Messi called him “stupid”?

And then what happened? The Besiktas striker was arguing with Lautaro Martínez, the Kun Agüero, who had entered the club, and a collaborator of the national team. He raised his voice a little and pointed. When they left, Lisandro Martínez said to him, “Come on, look, we’re more of a team, huh?” Undoubtedly, the Dutchman was left with a lot of anger.

What did Weghorst say about the situation?

“The 19th since he came on has started to provoke and it seems to me that this is not part of football,” explained Messi of the crossing. Now… What’s the Dutch forward’s version?

“I wanted to shake his hand after the match, I have a lot of respect for him as a footballer. But he threw my hand to the side and didn’t want to talk to me. My Spanish isn’t very good but he said disrespectful words to me and that made me feel disappointed. Really disappointing,” said the Turkish player from Besiktas in the mixed zone.
