The speech of the coach of Saudi Arabia Herve Renard that brought the historic victory in the match of Argentina

By defeating Argentina 2-1 in the first match of Group C of the 2022 World Cup, Saudi Arabia had a big upset in the tournament. Images appeared in the locker room of the motivational speech of Hervé Renard, the coach of Saudi Arabia, who closed the first half with 1-0 behind.

Argentina, who took the lead with Lionel Messi’s penalty goal, closed the first half with superiority, while Saudi Arabia made a historic second-half comeback and left the field with a 2-1 victory. Some coaches prefer to have a quieter conversation at halftime. But Renard, 54, gave a high-pressure speech when he asked his players if they wanted to have their picture taken with Messi and if they believed in turning the game around.

“GO TO TAKE A PHOTO WITH MESSI”

Renard, who was seen making an angry speech in the footage, said: “Messi takes the ball in midfield and you stand in front of the defence. You have to go to the center of the field and mark him or take your phone and go take a picture with him.” He used his statements.

“GIVE EVERYTHING”

Then the experienced coach, who encouraged his players, said: “Don’t you think we can come back? Do not sit down? You are playing comfortably. Come on guys! “This is the World Cup, give it your all.”
