These words were said by the Jordanian national team's midfielder Amer Jamous to Sport.Biz's correspondent at the World Cup 2026 after the match against Argentina.
He expressed regret that the Argentine star did not start in the starting lineup:
'To be honest, we wanted him to start the game. We all love Messi, he's the best in history. We wanted him to play. When he came out, it gave us even more motivation.'
Amer Jamous wished Argentina luck in the rest of the tournament:
'We were happy to see him play. We wish Argentina the best in this tournament. Hopefully, they will win the cup again.'
