Asked for a reaction, Gallardo replied: "What I least expected was that you would ask me that.

"In football, nothing attracts attention.

"We (Argentina) mistreated Messi a lot too. Let's not play patriots either. Before he resigned from the National Team. Thank God he repented and came back remember? Let's remember that too."
