There is less and less to go before the start of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. In the next World Cup, El Tri will seek to overcome that fateful fourth match that has cost him so much. In fact, in Brazil 2014, The Netherlands eliminated Mexico in those instances . But beyond the impotence generated by the match, there was a curious fact that left a great anecdote of that World Cup event: the clash between Robin van Persie and Miguel Herrera.
With the indignation of “It was not a penalty” with which El Tri unfairly returned home, that afternoon in Fortaleza, on 29 June 2014, would continue to have spicy anecdotes. Under the bitterness of defeat, Robin van Persie began a pitched battle with the “Piojo”, according to César Martínez, a former Televisa reporter, recounted.
“I know they meet again at the entrance of the dressing room Van Persie and Miguel Herrera, Miguel is furious, Van Persie passes, something does him, touches it or brushes it and the exchange of mother’s minions begins in all languages “, the journalist recalled for Hi! SportsTV.
The drop that spilled the glass
Far from calming the waters, Robin van Persie added fuel to it to the fire and unleashed the fury of Miguel Herrera. The Dutch striker made fun of the physique of “Piojo” and the Mexican strategist exploded, without failing to mention who already had accumulated the bitterness of an unfair elimination from the World Cup in Brazil 2014.
“Miguel Herrera, with the little English he has, his mother lied to him until she got tired and what Van Persie did was inflated his cheeks and belly and made fun of him“, said César Martínez. There are no audiovisual records of that clash, since it was an area where recording was not allowed.
