The Argentine national team star, Lionel Messi, admitted on Tuesday that the loss against Saudi Arabia was a "very severe blow", according to press reports.
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" said that Messi showed his sadness over the result, but stressed that "the players will search for strength and improve their performance in the upcoming matches."
Messi said: "In the dressing room with the youth, we talked about everything. We did not expect to lose in this way, and now we must prepare ourselves for the next one. We must win. And that depends on us."
"It's up to us to right the wrong we made. It's very bitter. This is a very united group with a strong synergy, and it's time to show that."
Messi pointed out that "this group is strong" in which the Argentine national team plays, adding: "It has been a long time since this group faced a situation like this."
He continued, "It is a very hard blow for everyone, but there is no choice but to get back up, think about what is ahead, and win in order to calm down again."
The Argentine star touched on the goals scored by his team, of which 3 were missed, by saying: “I think we found the goal very quickly, and the goals that were not allowed were very good. At that moment, we rushed, and we wanted to move to the goal, and we made many mistakes.”
He continued, "We know that by beating Mexico we will be comfortable again. We said we have to win every game."

In the opening games of the two teams in Group C of the Qatar World Cup, which will take place from November 20 to December 18, the Saudi national team defeated its Argentine counterpart by a score of two goals to one, making history in the process.
Before losing in today's match, Lionel Messi, who will be heavily relied upon at the 2022 World Cup, faced the Saudi national team in just one friendly encounter from 2012 that ended in a scoreless draw.
This evening, Mexico and Poland will be seated together.
In 1994, the Saudi national team became the first in history to advance past the group stage; Al-Akhdar aims to do the same.
