In one of the most shocking statements that have come out since the world cup started, Lionel Messi’s doctor Diego Schwarzstein‘s statement has shocked us all. The doctor who treated Messi’s ‘growth hormone deficiency’ earlier in his career, claims that the ‘obscenely populist government’ will try to mask its failure by using the national team’s success in the tournament.
For those of you who don’t know, the South American country is going through a severe economic crisis for a long time and many like-minded individuals are blaming the government for leading the country in such a situation Dr. Diego isn’t different either.

However, if Argentina FC really crashes out from the group stage, just like the Doctor has asked, then it will definitely crush Messi’s dream of winning the Mundial before he says goodbye to his international career.
Still, as a fan, Diego said he really wants Argentina to win. In an interview with The Times, he said,
“As a football fan, I would like Argentina to be champions. As an Argentine citizen, as a human being, I would like them to lose all three games and be eliminated in the first round.”
In addition, he mentioned,
“Why? I’m convinced that this obscenely populist government that we have here would use the success of Argentina at the World Cup to cover things up. They could announce the devaluation of the currency on the day that the team play when no one is focused on that.”
Under the current government of Alberto Fernandez, inflation rose from a staggering 83 percent.

Well, we sure hope Argentina wins the world cup this time around. The Albaliciste had a terrible start to their tournament after they lost 2-1 to Saudi Arabia. They will go head-to-head against Mexico in their second match on November 26th and this match will be extremely important for them.
