Argentina's National Team lost the Copa America final against Chile
The Argentine press did not forgive the result and all the criticism was directed towards Leo Messi. The captain of the albiceleste has received all the reproaches from the media in his country, which has caused thousands of supporters to send their support to the Argentine star.
There have also been many sports personalities who have wanted to encourage Leo Messi. Radamel Falcao wrote an open letter on his social media. In it, he commented that "people who admire good football little will find an 'argument' to always try to discredit someone", he also assured that in 15 years from now, they will show videos of the feats performed by the Argentine star and be able to say "We lived in the era of Messi".
This is Radamel Falcao's letter to Leo Messi:
"If he scores a goal, why hasn't he scored two. If he scores a great goal, the opponent did not put up resistance. If he assists, he should appear more. If he dribbles a couple of defenders, they are not top level. If he scores from a free-kick, the wall gave it away. If he scores in a final, the opponent was exhausted. If he wins the Ballon d'Or, someone else deserved it. If he wins in speed, the defender started late. If he doesn't defend, he doesn't play for the team. If he has a bad game, he is a cold fish. If he scores with FC Barcelona and not with Argentina, he doesn't feel the colors. If he wins everything at the club level, it doesn't matter that he has not won anything with the national team. If he wins something with the national team (Olympic Games), he still needs a World Cup. If he scores a hat-trick, the defense didn't bring anything. If he scores five goals, he could have scored seven against that goalkeeper. If he is vital for his national team in recent years, he still doesn't play well enough with the albiceleste and still hasn't won over the Argentine fans. If he doesn't greet a child because he didn't see him, he is a terrible human being. If FC Barcelona is eliminated from a competition, he is the culprit. If something goes wrong for Argentina, he is the culprit. That is the life of Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini. The daily bread. In the end, people who admire good football little will find an 'argument' to try to discredit or question you. We try to save and cherish each of your performances, because we know that in 15 years we will watch videos of your goals and images of your celebrations with a lot of nostalgia. Fortunately, when that happens, we will be able to say: #WeLivedInTheEraOfMessi"
