The Argentine world champion team arrived in Lima to face Peru this Tuesday for the fourth round of the Qualifiers. Coach Lionel Scaloni’s team was received by a crowd that gathered at the hotel where the Albiceleste team will stay since early followingnoon. The arrival of Lionel Messi and company generated a revolution in Inca lands.
After 10:30 p.m. in Argentina, the team landed at the Jorge Chávez International Airport. Once he arrived in the Peruvian capital, it took him half an hour to get to the Hilton hotel in Miraflores, the same one where he gathered in the previous Qualifiers. As a cabal, the Argentine delegation has been strictly respecting certain places, travel itineraries and modalities of the previous World Cup classification.
About two thousand Peruvian fans began to hold the vigil following noon with the hope of being able to have an autograph or a photo of the world champions. Not only do they receive the team that leads the South American classification with a perfect score towards the next ecumenical tournament, but it is also the best team on the planet for its scrolls and playing performance. In fact, it occupies the number one position in the FIFA ranking.
With the usual cry of praise “Messi, Messi, Messi”, or a sign that read “Messi, I love you more than my dad”, and even the interpretation of the popular “Muchachos”, whose lyrics adapted by the group La Mosca made rage in the last World Cup in Qatar, the Peruvian fans looked like Argentines with the National Team shirts and several of them with the Inter Miami jackets in another demonstration of recognition towards Messi. Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez’s fluorescent green shirts were also seen.
A fervor similar to that which occurred in Bolivia was noticed in Lima on the second date of the Qualifiers, where the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz presented many local spectators with the Argentine national team shirts.
Although this phenomenon is often repeated in various parts of the world, the furor for the Argentine team exceeds any type of expectations and the passion behind what Messi generates makes football lovers do whatever it takes to be able to see it live and on straight to the best footballer on the planet.
More so in a period in which the captain of the Argentine national team is going through what is his last Qualifier and that is why the love of the fans surpasses borders in order to be able to see even a few seconds of Messi.
Once the bus that transported the Argentine delegation was able to negotiate the last stretch in the middle of the fences, the Argentine players got off the bus and entered the hotel around 11:30 p.m., Argentina time. One by one they went down and at the end a smiling Messi might be seen. At each appearance there was an outburst from the home crowd for the world champions.
For this Tuesday, Messi’s presence as a starter is not confirmed beyond the fact that the captain trained normally on Sunday and Monday and showed no signs of discomfort in his right hamstring, something that upset him and made him leave the team. field of play before the final once morest Ecuador in the first round of the Qualifiers, in the 1-0 victory with a great goal from a free kick by Leo himself. In this period, the 36-year-old Rosario star was also sidelined from some games at Inter Miami.
This left him out of the match once morest Bolivia, which was a 3-0 victory in La Paz and last Thursday he entered from the bench at the beginning of the complement in the 1-0 victory once morest Paraguay. However, Messi’s desire to play is always there and that is a plus for the 43 thousand spectators who will take over the National Stadium in Lima this Tuesday.
