In the Olympic Men’s Football quarterfinal, Matteo scored the only goal of the match, leading to Argentina’s 0-1 loss against France and ending their run in the tournament at the quarterfinal stage. After the match, Argentine Olympic team’s main goalkeeper, Rulli, criticized the provocative celebration behavior of the French team during an interview.
Regarding the deliberate provocation by French midfielder Milot towards the Argentine bench, which sparked a confrontation involving around 30 people, Rulli said: “We usually celebrate with our own fans after winning a game, but clearly they had been holding back emotions that they released today. Some players don’t know how to win with dignity. We, as Argentinians, even when we lose, greet our opponents with respect, but some people do not act this way.”
Speaking about the loss, Rulli said: “It felt like a final played ahead of time. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for; sometimes you just can’t score goals, there’s no other way. In the match, we initially had clear chances to score. But as the game progressed, even though our opportunities diminished, we continued to give it our all. Without a doubt, Argentine football has a very bright future.”
