Brazilian football legend, Ronaldo Nazario, has admitted he
would be a “hypocrite” if he claimed he would like to see Lionel Messi win the
World Cup with Argentina.
Last Friday, Brazil were sent home from the tournament in
Qatar at the quarter-final stage by Croatia.
On the same day, they watched their South American rivals
Argentina eliminate Netherlands on penalties to book their place in the last
four.
Many fans in Brazil are hoping Croatia deny La Albiceleste
the chance to win the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1986.
“I cannot answer for the whole of Brazil. I can only answer
for me. And I am not that sure! Yeah, of course, I will be happy for him
(Messi).
“But, you know, we have a great rivalry between Brazil and
Argentina. But I will not be that much of a hypocrite to say I will be happy
for Argentina because it’s not true,” Ronaldo said.
