The tender gesture of a child to Lionel Messi
Obtaining the third star in Qatar 2022 is now a thing of the past. The Argentine team has already turned the page, something that was demonstrated last night in the first match of the South American Qualifiers towards the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico 2026 (six of the 10 Conmebol teams will qualify directly and one will go to a Repechage ).
The Albiceleste started on the right foot by debuting with a 1-0 victory against Ecuador at the Monumental stadium thanks to a brilliant goal from Lionel Messi from a free kick midway through the second half.
The premiere of the Scaloneta left several scenes that went viral on social networks. One of the most tender sequences occurred in the run-up to the match, when the footballers were preparing to go out onto the playing field. There, the boy who entered with the Argentine captain was encouraged to give a tender gift to the Flea. The young man, shyly, hit the arm of the Inter Miami figure to get his attention and give him two golden figurines (the AFA shield and one of himself).
Messi grabbed them and explained to the boy that he would give them to a collaborator to keep for him. However, Drawing Martínez, upon seeing the scene, asked for them and kept them in one of his stockings, transforming the figurines into a kind of “amulet.” His actions brought luck to the team, since the Aston Villa man kept the score unbeaten and the ’10’ was the author of the team’s only goal.
The unexpected gift to Julián Álvarez
Another of the players most loved by the public is Julián Álvarez, who became a key piece for the technical director in the last World Cup. When the team was leaving the stadium to get on the bus that would take them to the AFA property in Ezeiza, a supporter stopped the Manchester City forward to give him an unexpected gift: the mask of Spider-Man, the superhero who was related to him forever.
Although the native of Calchín is one of the shyest members of the team, he was encouraged to put on the mask and send a greeting to the River Plate fans, an institution in which he left a pleasant memory before leaving for England.
The “help” of Dibu Martínez in Messi’s goal
In the mixed zone, Draw Martínez did his thing again when asked about Lionel Messi’s goal from a free kick. The goalkeeper took credit for part of the Flea’s work of art and laughed, “Let him give me the shirt.”
With two commitments left before the end of the first day, the heads of those led by Lionel Scaloni are already set on the next objective: on Tuesday, September 12, they will travel to La Paz to face Bolivia (they will debut tonight visiting Brazil).
