This Thursday, after the conquest of the Copa América in Brazil, the Argentine National Team will return to the ring in the Qualifiers towards the World Cup in Qatar 2022, when it visits Venezuela.

After having fulfilled his dream of being champion with the Albiceleste, Lionel Messi went from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, with which he debuted at the weekend, to now be completely concentrated in Caracas to play a new FIFA date.

Before the crossing with the Vinotinto, a Venezuelan journalist went viral on social networks for making an unusual comparison between Leo and

Yeferson Soteldo

, one of the figures in the team led by Leonardo González, interim DT after the departure of José Peseiro .

It is about

Edgardo Márquez

, rapporteur who made a controversial statement involving the midfielder of Toronto FC of the MLS and the Argentine star of PSG.

The tweet that went viral

"It is not nationalism! It is reality!

Today, Yeferson Soteldo is more than Lionel Messi.

In dynamics in the field, it is more the Venezuelan. Hopefully the collective game of ours can overcome not only absences but also lack of work. How many believe it? ", Márquez wrote on his Twitter account, referring to the previous clash between Argentina and Venezuela for Qualifying.

His words quickly impacted on social networks, with many criticisms in the comments and users citing the tweet, outraged by what they read.

And lots of giggling reactions, of course.

Similarly, the rapporteur continued to defend his position:

"I honestly did not like Messi's debut at PSG. If that is his level today, I think ours is more.

Let's see what the game says!"

.

The journalist's publication was filled with "retweets", "likes" and comments, although most of the interactions were contrary to his opinion.
