Snippets of Hervé Renard half time team talk that produced a turnaround fairy-tale victory against Argentina has surfaced online.

The Saudis pulled off one of the major upsets in World Cup history by beating the Copa America champions captained by arguably the greatest footballer of all time, Lionel Messi.

After going behind by a lone goal courtesy of Lionel Messi's 10th-minute spot kick, the Middle East side bounced back strongly to overturn the score on its head after a remarkable second-half display.

The Saudi's victory halted the Albiceleste's 36-game unbeaten run dating back to three years.

A viral video that has emerged on social media has revealed the mystery behind the outstanding performance by the Saudi team.

In the said video, French coach Hervé Renard was captured giving an intense, yet inspiring team talk through an interpreter which eventually produced the desired result.

Meanwhile, the Saudi government has declared Wednesday as a public holiday to celebrate the country's World Cup triumph.
