The manager of Argentina's historic defeat in their Qatar 2022 debut is clear that he defeated the future champions
The French coach of Saudi Arabia, Hervé Renard, was the mastermind behind the feat achieved by the Saudi team against the title contender Argentina.
After Saudi Arabia's 2-1 victory over Messi's team, the 54-year-old strategist predicted that Argentina will lift the tournament trophy, despite starting the World Cup on the wrong foot.
"Argentina will advance to the knockout stage and become world champions," Hervé Renard said.
Saudi Arabia leads Group C with 3 points, Poland and Mexico shared the points with a goalless draw, and Argentina, with no points, is bottom of their group.
On Saturday, the albiceleste will play their all-or-nothing match against Mexico's 'Tata' Martino.
