THE SENTENCE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD
Dibu Martínez talked about Messi and delivered a line that in Argentina didn’t go unnoticed:
“I thought he’d already retired.”
Officially, it sounded like a joke about Leo’s farewell.
But after the lost final and all the weight that the World Cup left behind, the double meaning was inevitable.
Dibu also admitted that that defeat is still “going to stick with them like a thorn for a long time.”
That’s why the phrase blew up.
Was it just humor?
Or a subtle jab that said more than it seemed?
In Argentina, many people understood the message right away.
