The medical personnel who is Lionel Messi’s doctor, Diego Schwarzstein, has made a stunning claim.
He said that he would want Argentina to lose her three group matches in Qatar.
In other words, he would not want Argentina, his country, to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Despite sharing a great relationship with Messi, Schwarzstein does not want the 35-year-old to win the FIFA World Cup in his career.
He believed the Argentine government would use the World Cup success for propaganda to cover up its failure.
“As a football fan, I would like Argentina to be champions. As an Argentine citizen, as a human being, I would like them to lose all three games and be eliminated in the first round,” he told The Times.
“Why, I’m convinced that this obscenely populist government that we have here would use the success of Argentina at the World Cup to cover things up,” he said.
