JAKARTA - Mexican captain Andres Guardado is the latest sportsman to support Lionel Messi after he was criticized by Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez.
A video came after Mexico lost 0-2 to Argentina in the second group match of the Qatar 2022 World Cup last week.
The video shows Messi in Argentina's dressing room with a Mexican shirt on his leg which Canelo said was kicked by Albiceleste's captain.
Canelo's statement drew reactions from a number of sportsmen, both from football and boxing, who thought Canelo was excessive.
The captain of the Mexican national team Guardado revealed that he was the one who exchanged T-shirts with Messi and he saw it was natural that the T-shirt was placed on the floor because the same thing would happen to Messi's shirt.
"I had the luck and privilege to face Messi for years in Spain and had moments like my son (Messi took pictures with his son). I know what kind of person Leo is," Guardado said in an interview with TyC Sport.
Unfortunately Canelo doesn't understand what it's like in the dressing room and that's why he reacted like this when he saw a Mexican jersey on the floor.
"But I think it's ridiculous, it's not important. Leo has a lot of moments, not just with me. What's produced is selling something or causing controversy," added the player.
Previously, Messi's two friends; Sergio Aguero and Cesc Fabregas also criticized Canelo.
