The game between Argentina and Spain descended into chaos after the final whistle last month‚ when Paredes lost his cool and launched an attack on Eric Garcia and Gavi after Spain were confirmed as champions. Now‚ it has emerged that referee‚ Slavko Vincic of Slovenia‚ had pleaded with Argentina captain Messi earlier in the game to control one of football's biggest hot heads. The midfielder‚ who was brought on at half-time and booked six minutes later‚ made it to full-time‚ but then lost his cool.
CHRIS WHEELER: Slovenia manager Bostjan Cesar has raised concerns over Benjamin Sesko's continued absence from his national team as the Manchester United striker once again finds himself at the centre of club versus country tensions.
Benjamin Sesko's super sub role continued with aplomb here as he came off the bench to secure all three points for Manchester United at Everton. The Slovenian's second half goal means that Michael Carrick's unbeaten run as coach‚ since coming in to replace Ruben Amorim‚ stretches to six games‚ with five wins and a draw. Everton did plenty of good work in this less-than-thrilling 1-0 defeat but David Moyes was let down by his side's lack of creativity in attack.
They had the Manchester derby on at The England pub in Ljubljana last weekend‚ as you would expect at the Slovenian headquarters of the Manchester United Supporters' Club. Elsewhere‚ across many of the capital's bars‚ though‚ TVs were being switched off in anger an hour before the hotly-anticipated game at Old Trafford after it emerged that Benjamin Sesko had been benched by new head coach Michael Carrick.
Ruben Amorim's side finished that 2-2 epic before the international break with 10 men after Sesko was forced off with a knee issue with United having made all their substitutions. Sesko‚ who pulled out of international duty with Slovenia to begin his injury rehab at Carrington‚ has avoided serious damage but is still set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The United boss accepts Sesko will take time to settle at Old Trafford following a £73.7million summer move from RB Leipzig‚ and is backing the young Slovenia striker to be a success. But Amorim has told Sesko that he must learn to live with the intense scrutiny from the critics after scoring twice in his first 11 games. Last weekend‚ Gary Neville told Sky Sports that the 22-year-old is 'miles off it' compared to other summer signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo‚ who on Friday was named the Premier League player of the month for October.
