Leo told after the 2-0 defeat to Mexico that Mateo had ended in tears after the defeat against Arabia. That he had suffered from his family, like many. And he told Olé in Paris, before the World Cup, that there was a lot of anxiety behind closed doors, from his entire inner circle. The same one who vented in this hopeful triumph.
After his goal that opened the match, Messi stared at that sector and blew a special kiss. It’s just that his people were there, the ones who have always supported him, since he was a boy. His father Jorge, who manages his career. Mama Celia, who makes the best milanesas for her. His wife Antonela, with her children Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. Brothers like Rodrigo and Matías, and nephews like Tomi (Central fan, family curiosities), among others.
There was total relief and emotion of the purest. As Argentine as Messi, who lived longer in Spain than in Argentina but maintains that umbilical cord with our country. Anto and the boys were with Messi’s 10, the same one he had shown before traveling from Paris to Doha.
Dad Jorge, supporting.In those it is demonstrated what this World Cup means for all Messi, Leo’s last. In that embrace of generations, between grandfather Jorge and Thiago, Leo’s eldest. Also of the son with Anto, and of all the relatives, of the nephew lovingly raising Ciro, the youngest.
“The family enjoyed it, like all the Argentines. We were also able to give them a win,” Messi told Olé after the 2-0 win over Mexico. Giving happiness to his family, also, the most fans and those who suffer for the National Team and also for him.
Anto’s message: “How I love you.”
