Recently, Argentina’s Olympic team lost to host France 0-1 and were eliminated. After the game, the two sides had a heated conflict. According to media reports, it was because French midfielder Milot deliberately ran to the Argentine bench to provoke them, which led to the conflict.
Argentina’s Olympic captain, and also a member of the 2022 World Cup champion team, Otamendi accepted an interview with TyC Sports after the game: “I told the players, this is how Argentina lets go. I’ve experienced failures before becoming world champion, and I know that pain. They did well, but unfortunately they couldn’t score.”
Regarding Milot’s behavior, Otamendi said dissatisfied: “If he wants to celebrate, he can come at us. What happens on the field stays on the field. He ran to where our families were and provoked them, that’s absolutely unacceptable.”
It is worth mentioning that in the 2022 World Cup, after Argentina eliminated the Netherlands on penalties, Otamendi allegedly made a face at the Dutch players, but he later explained that he was provoked by the Dutch players and retaliated.
