Joy, celebration, fun, exhilaration, madness. All of this was experienced this Tuesday morning when the Argentina national team arrived in the country after winning the World Cup in Qatar. But it was there too a space for fear, and quite largeat the beginning of the journey from Ezeiza airport to the AFA headquarters.
What happened? As soon as the micro convertible that carried the team, technical staff and part of the management crossed the entrance door of the FBO of the Ministero Pistarini international airport to take the side street of the Ricchieri highway, the episode that paralyzed the hearts of Albicelesti fans happened. .
At this point, the captain Lionel Messi, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul, Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi They were already sitting on almost the only part of the roof that the bus had left, at the far end of the upper deck.
The top referents of the Scaloneta were obsessed with meeting the tide of fans who had already planned to accompany them from that place during the six kilometers that separated them from the AFA property.
Such was the euphoria they did not see a set of electrical cableswhich they noticed a few centimeters away and forced them to lie down on that ‘roof’ so as not to be hit.
All have escaped, except Leandro Paredes. The Juventus Italy midfielder was wearing a backwards peaked cap which ‘blew off’ when a large cord struck his neck.
Luckily he was left with only one scare and the Argentina national team delegation was able to enjoy the rest of the journey to Ezeiza’s camp, where they arrived after just over an hour of diving amidst the tide of fans waiting for them to cheer them on and have fun with them in conquering the third World Cup in history.
