Tiktukno: summary of the day's events in sports, 15.11 (Sport1)
Ex-Argentine President Mauricio Macri's outburst caused a bit of a storm in a country that is preparing with bated breath for the 2022 World Cup. Macri spoke on a variety of topics and, among other things, was required for the World Cup that will start in five days.
The president of Argentina in 2015-2019 told who the top five candidates are in his eyes for winning: "We have an excellent goalkeeper, a solid defense, a combative link and Messi. Of course there is Brazil with Neymar in an improved format because now he plays for the team. Portugal has excellent players, France There are excellent players and she is the champion. And you cannot disqualify the Germans because they are of a superior breed and they always play to the end."
The interviewer, Joaquin Morales Sola, immediately noticed his guest's sputtering and rushed to continue the interview without delay.
But Macri was caught and received fierce criticism on the networks.
Among other things, there was someone who claimed that the former president is trying to bring the right-wing closer to him in the country in preparation for a possible run for the presidency in 2023 and that this is not a mouthful at all.
A long past in the world of football.

The 63-year-old Macri served as president of Boca Juniors in 1994-2007 and during that time was very active in trying to change the face of Argentine football and introduce reforms that would help the teams generate financial profits.
In addition, he served as mayor of Buenos Aires.
Beyond his main occupation in politics, he is considered a sought-after interviewee when it comes to football.
