Paraguayan legend Chilavert defends Messi, says Copa América was “prepared so Brazil would become champions”
Paraguay's football legend, former goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert, has sided with Argentina captain Lionel Messi amid the latter's allegations against CONMEBOL (the South American Football Confederation. Not only did Chilavert agree with Messi, but went further to say the tournament was "prepared so Brazil would become champions", as per Mundo Deportivo . He launched a scathing attack on CONMEBOL saying: “CONMEBOL is killing football. Why would they sanction Messi, if we live in a democratic world? The players need to unite and boycott CONMEBOL. VAR came to legalize corruption that exists in South American football, the company that controls VAR was a part of ‘FIFAgate.’ It makes me laugh that they say, ‘Chilavert was right.’”
