The last time Lionel Messi had jumped onto a pitch was Sunday, April 13, when Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat Bordeaux 3-0. That day, the fans of the French team unleashed their anger against Neymar, Mauricio Pochettino and La Pulga, for the elimination they had suffered in the Champions League against Real Madrid. This Friday the setting in La Bombonera was completely opposite to that of the Parque de los Princes.
The captain of the National Team was the first cheer by the Argentine public to fill the Boca Juniors stadium for the duel against Venezuela, the last in the national territory for the qualifiers. From the stands there was applause and chants for the Ten when he went out to warm up.
The now traditional “Let Leo Messi all turn around let's go around” was one of the songs chosen by the fans who showed their love to the idol from the first moment the 34-year-old rosarino stepped on the grass of the playing field. In addition, when the voice of the stadium named him in the formation, the audience exploded by chanting his surname.
It is clear that the relationship between Argentine fans and PSG fans with respect to La Pulga is very different. While in the French club the fans hope that he will justify his recruitment with goals, in the National Team his fans only thank him and recognize him for his desire to be part of the albiceleste team, always with the hope that everything will lead to a coronation in Qatar 2022.
Argentina will face Ecuador on Tuesday as a visitor, with both already qualified for the World Cup, and then play again on June 1, in London, when they cross with Italy for the Finalissima at Wembley. Days later, he will have a friendly engagement in Europe, although his rival is not yet confirmed.
The national team of Lionel Scaloni, another of the cheers at La Bombonera, is already beating the Cup in Qatar. It is worth remembering that on April 1, the draw will be held that will define the formation of the groups of the contest that will begin on November 21 and whose final will be held on 18 December. The Scaloneta is already underway.
