So Messi's performance are very bad, I think, until 79 minutes.

All right? So if you wanna say the Egypt defenders, they basically didn't let Messi perform, you know.

Like Messi was nothing in front of them.

So you would say, "They got him in, they got him in his pocket." You know? That's the English slang.

So in Punjabi, how would you say that? In Punjabi, you would say, "Uhna ne Messi bandh karda.

Unhna ne Messi bandh karda." Like bandh karda means closed.

They closed him.

He couldn't do anything.

All right? After seven-- After 79 minutes, so the Messi basically shines.

He led his team to victory, so he performed incredible, you know.

But before 79 minutes, he was in their pocket, you know.
