The Argentine Leo Messi unleashed today madness in Albiceleste's first public education since his arrival in in Russia .

"Argentina will win the World Cup, no matter if it's not the best team, they have Messi, anything is possible with him," said Dima, a 10-year-old boy in the jersey Blaugrana of Messi. Messi is well worth a long walk of two hours or more than an hour by train and half an hour by taxi to reach the city of Bronitsi, about 60 kilometers southeast of Moscow.
Among Argentinean partisans, there was an elderly man who traveled by bike from the city of Córdoba to Moscow and another who traveled more than 4,000 kilometers between Madrid and the capital of this country. To this are added the more than 200 reporters who covered the time of training directed very closely by Jorge Sampaoli and who ended without incident.
Messi decided to thank the support and patience of the fans at the end of the practice to sign autographs and take pictures with his countless admirers for nearly ten minutes. Although he's not even sure that he'll be the starter, Dybala has also caught a lot of attention among the fans and, although he's opted for the Golden Retirement in China, Mascherano was very required.
Otherwise, the training was highlighted by the absence of sevillista Banega, who still has not fully recovered from his muscular problems. Sampaoli did not want to risk a key player for the national team after the injuries of Lanzini and Romero, although according to Argentina's technical staff, Agüero is already in top physical shape. Since Sampaoli's students had already undergone demanding morning training, they were limited in the afternoons to gentle exercise, exercise, and a short game in the middle of the day. ground. Messi was the only one who wore a pectoral different from the others -rosa- and the "chip" played for both teams, when they attacked.
The Barça player was accompanied throughout the rondo by Di Maria, at the same time criticized "Pipa" Higuain was very animated and Enzo Pérez, the last to arrive, was already part of the group. The only ones who trained at the top were the goalkeepers, among whom Caballero, according to the Argentine press, leads the race by being the starter of the first match against Iceland.
Not everyone was able to take advantage of the training, since many fans had to wait in vain for the pbadage of the bus with the players, who opted for an alternative course. Among the malcontents, it was not just a few journalists, the Argentine federation imposing a quota on the presence of reporters in the stands and on the sides of the field, which deprived them of seeing Messi and was about to to provoke a riot among the media
Despite their qualification for the World Cup, the Argentines are once again one of the favorites to win the title thanks to a performance of Messi.
