Lionel Messi's father, Jorge, is currently under medical care due to his health situation, his family said on Thursday. "He is currently under medical supervision and his condition is improving," the statement said. After scoring the first goal in Argentina's 3-0 win over Algeria in the opening match of the World Cup, Messi couldn't hold back his tears. The 38-year-old Argentine captain finished the match with a hat-trick, equaling Miroslav Klose's scoring record in World Cup history. "Why was I crying? It was something completely unrelated to football," Messi said after the match. "I went through difficult days, but I am grateful to the entire delegation and my teammates for always being there for me, giving me a lot of strength." The family also commented on the speculations about Jorge Messi's health that appeared after the match. "Due to the speculations circulating in recent hours, the family expresses its deep dissatisfaction with the lack of sensitivity, respect and discretion with which some have treated this private family matter. The family emphasizes that only the closest relatives have true and accurate information regarding Jorge's condition. Therefore, any version, statement or information that does not come directly from the family and its official channels should not be considered valid or true." The statement continued: "In moments like these, we ask for responsibility, prudence and humanity. The health of one person and the peace of those who
ą surround, should not be the subject of speculation or irresponsible media interest. Szczerze dziękujemy za wyrazy sympatii, szacunku i troski, które otrzymaliśmy, i prosimy o poszanowanie prywatności, poufności i intymności Jorge, jak również całej jego rodziny, podczas tego procesu." Kolejny mecz grupowy Argentyny odbędzie się przeciwko Austrii w poniedziałek 22 czerwca o godzinie 18:00 czasu BST, a ostatni mecz grupowy przeciwko Jordanii zaplanowany jest na niedzielę 28 czerwca o godzinie 03:00 czasu BST.
