The author accused Vero Brunati and other critics of repeating arguments about the friendly matches without modifying the text and described them as people paid to attack the AFA. He argued that the matches were originally planned to be held in China and that, in that case, Lionel Messi would not have been able to say goodbye to the national team in Argentina and in front of his fans. He also stated that FIFA recognized the friendlies as Class A matches, which allowed pending sanctions for Enzo, Thiago, and members of the coaching staff, including Ayala, to be fulfilled before the qualifiers. According to the author, holding the dates in China would not have allowed Argentina to comply with the attendance sanction, meaning the national team would have faced a qualifying match with reduced capacity. He added that the AFA took advantage of the friendlies to say goodbye to Messi in front of his fans, fulfill the sanctions, and avoid problems in the qualifiers. He accused those who criticized the AFA of also positioning themselves against Messi, Lionel Scaloni, and the national team. #AFA #Messi #Eliminatorias (translated)
