The saying goes that no one is a prophet in his country, but he is currently less successful with Lionel Messi. The Argentinian, far from being unanimous in France in recent weeks, has redone the cherry during this international window. Back with the Albiceleste in the country, the Pulga received a vibrant tribute from the supporters during the friendly match won against Panama (2-0), before seeing the Argentine federation show him a nice mark of affection. . Indeed, the president of the Argentine Football Federation, Claudio Tapia, announced this Saturday the baptism of the sports complex of the selection in honor of Messi. Traditionally known as Ezeiza, the equivalent of Clairefontaine in France will now be called “Lionel Andrés Messi sports venue” (Lionel Andrés Messi sports complex, editor’s note).
Present alongside the president of the AFA this Saturday, the sevenfold Ballon d’Or reacted to this new tribute: “I would like to thank Chiqui (Claudio Tapia editor’s note) for this recognition. It’s something very emotional for me, I’ve been coming here for almost 20 yearsrewound the Pulga, which is only one achievement away from reaching the symbolic milestone of 100 selection goals. From the first day, I felt a very special energy, it is an exceptional place. Even today, the energy that reigns here is very special, even in the worst moments. To enter here is to forget everything, and to feel the happiness of being there. Today, I am very happy that after so many years, this place bears my name.”»
