Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez sent a warning to Lionel Messi, who is being accused of disrespecting Mexico. While the Argentine was celebrating their victory against Mexico in the World Cup. In the video shown below Messi seems to make contact with a Mexico shirt that was on the floor. As well there’s no indication he kicked the shirt on purpose.
Canelo had some strong words for Messi after seeing his locker room celebration 👀

“He better pray to God that I don’t find him!!”, said Canelo in a tweet. “Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico! I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi pulled.”

Last Saturday Argentina beat Mexico 2-0 in a tense game of Group C at the Qatar World Cup. In this game, Messi scored the first goal, while his colleague Enzo Fernandez did the other one.
Canelo Alvarez is known as Mexico’s best boxer, after winning World Championships in four weight classes. Alvarez recently told a journalist: “It’s one thing them being better than us (in football), it’s another thing to have respect.”
Messi’s teammates quickly came to his defense, and Sergio Aguero came to his defense and clear things up.
Señor canelo no busques excusas o problemas , seguramente no sabes de fútbol y que pasa en un vestuario . Las camisetas siempre después que se terminan los partidos están en el piso por el sudor y después si ves bien hace el movimiento para sacarse el botín y sin querer le da . https://t.co/zfftTXH3JB

“Mr. Canelo, don’t look for excuses or problems, surely you don’t know about football and what happens in a changing room,” Aguero tweeted. “The shirts are always on the floor after games have finished due to sweat and then if you look properly, he makes the movement to remove his boot and accidentally hits it.”
