FIFA warns referee who showed 18 cards over Messi complaint

A different Messi was seen in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. The calm-tempered superstar was seen as a protester. The Argentina captain complained of bad refereeing in the Argentina vs Netherlands match. In the wake of Messi's complaint, FIFA has taken action against the controversial referee.

Spanish referee Mateu Lahoz was officiating that quarter-final match. However, showing the referee's extra card came into the discussion. Lionel Messi complained about such bad refereeing in an important match like the quarter final. The referee showed a total of 18 cards in the match. Even in the worst match in football history, the referee did not show so many cards. And among so many cards, the Argentines have been the victims of the most cards. The calm nature of Messi was not left out. The coach was not left out.

At the end of the match, Messi said angrily, "I will not say anything about the referee. Because what I say in front of everyone will not be true. I think FIFA needs to think about whether such a referee should be given responsibility in such a match. Shouldn't, who is not worthy of the job. Messi also said, "We were scared before the match started after seeing the referee's name. Such a referee should not be given responsibility in such an important match. "

After the discussed match, Fifa shook. Strict action has been taken against the referee. Lahoj will not be seen in charge of managing any more matches in this World Cup. He has been asked to return home by FIFA. This is the reason why FIFA decided to avoid bad refereeing in the semi-finals and finals. The matter has made noise in the football world.

After the Argentina - Netherlands match, not only Messi, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez also complained about the referee. He said, "Mateu gave his all for the Netherlands. He wanted us to lose. 10 minutes of added time was given for no reason. I was very surprised. He gave two or three free kicks outside the box. He wanted the Netherlands to score. They actually did. 12 were playing. Hope not to see Mateu again. Disgusting referee."

Complaining about Martinez, he said, "I have never seen a referee like him in all the matches I have played in my life. He is also the worst referee in the World Cup. He is also very arrogant. He does not have the ability to manage the match. When you say anything to him, he speaks very badly. Archon is very bad. I think Mateu wanted Argentina to be knocked out of the World Cup because Spain was knocked out of the World Cup."

Meanwhile, Messi has to go through two more steps to win the title. Lionel Scaloni's disciples are entering the field against Croatia in the semi-finals on December 14 at 1 pm Bangladesh time. Argentina will go to the final if they win this match. Messi will get a little closer to winning the unfinished World Cup.
