[0:03](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=3) Oh yeah, totally. Totally. After Coutinho, he didn't have his best game. [0:06](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=6) That's true. Coutinho didn't have his best game. [0:07](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=7) Maybe it was his worst one of the tournament. [0:08](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=8) Yeah, his worst. Uh, but, uh, it's, it's too— actually, it's... [0:16](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=16) You saw it, they'd go to war for him. And you really feel it, actually. [0:19](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=19) Yeah. And it's not just— and the worst part is, it's not just the starting eleven, not just the subs, it's the stadium, like, it's all the fans. You really felt it was Messi, like. [0:29](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=29) The atmosphere, it was kind of... It was crazy, crazy, but incredible, incredible to live, to experience, sorry. [0:36](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=36) The match against Argentina, when you reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup, against a team that struggled to qualify, against, against Cape Verde, Egypt, you know. And, uh, and then it's Lionel Messi's last one. [0:50](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=50) You know, it still represents the reigning world champions. It represents a lot of things, after all. What kind of mindset are you in, about this match? [0:56](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=56) And then, how did you experience it? Well, when you look at their campaign and all that, you say, “Ah, we can do this, guys.” [1:04](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=64) We can do this, guys. We, we're going to go, we're going to go all the way over there. [1:08](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=68) That means, we have a chance, guys, and we're going to go there to, to really, to really play our game, you know. And so, well, we go out there, we play, and, well, it goes pretty well. We concede the, we concede the first goal. [1:21](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=81) Yeah. Mac Allister. We score the first goal, but in the game, we're really, we're, we're really not bad, things are going well. [1:28](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=88) Then we come back in the second half and, we've got our momentum, you know. [1:31](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=91) Danilo. We've got our momentum, we score, and then we feel, we feel, yeah, guys, this is it, it's, it's ours, you know, like, we're gonna, we're gonna do it, this is our moment. [1:41](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=101) And, uh, right after that, we get a red card, you know, we get a red card, a stupid red card in the end, because… [1:47](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=107) That red card gets talked about a lot. Yeah, because first of all, to me, it's not a red card. [1:50](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=110) To me, it's not a red card. Tell us. No, why is it a red card? [1:54](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=114) Honestly, back then, when I'd seen it, it hadn't completely shocked me. [1:58](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=118) Oh yeah? Yeah. No, to me, to me, it's, it's complicated because… [2:04](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=124) The fact that the ref comes back on a foul, okay, sure. [2:08](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=128) Yeah. You go back on a foul, but you go back to take a yellow card away from a player. [2:12](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=132) You don't go back to give a yellow card to another player, you see what I mean? [2:15](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=135) Yeah, yeah, I get it. Back then, I said it didn't shock me, but it's true, I think there were articles that came out saying it was a mistake, he shouldn't have been given that red. [2:21](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=141) It was a refereeing mistake. It was a mis—it's clearly a refereeing mistake and he should never have been given that red. [2:26](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/ZRVy1iYjsQvg/transcript-of-analysis-of-messis-performance-in-world-cup?t=146) And it's a shame because I think in the end, it killed our, our game.
