The First Lady of world football is in Argentina. Antonela Roccuzzo and the rest of the family of the national team captain Lionel Messi landed this Monday afternoon in Rosario, his hometown, awaiting the arrival of the ‘Pulce’ and with the hope that he can continue the celebrations for obtaining the World Cup in Qatar 2022 at the iconic National Flag Monument.
Together with Antonela they were Thiago, Mateo and Ciròand mother of the greatest player of all time, Celiawho got off a bus to get on a couple of vehicles and travel the last stretch to the Kentucky Country Club in the municipality of Funes, located 30 kilometers from Rosario.
There they will be waiting for Lionel and the rest of the family who accompanied him on the charters that the AFA has made available to the players and their teammates returning from Doha, Qatar, after a stopover in Rome, Italy. The private plane of the captain of the Argentina national team will travel to Ezeiza airport this Tuesday to bring Messi, Ángel Di María and Ángel Correa to the city of Santa Fe.
The smile drawn on Antonela’s face denoted tranquillity. Far from the tension that manifested itself during the final against France and that you left several postcards to tell.
The wife of the Argentina captain covered her face as Messi went to take the penalty. You just turned around when you heard his children and the whole stadium shouting the first goal for Albiceleste. Kabbalah? If so, it worked.
The hugs multiplied in the family box, where there were also father, mother, brothers and other relatives of the crack team led by Lionel Scaloni.
Later, more serene, everyone was able to celebrate very close to the stage where, a few minutes before, Leo had received the trophy he most wanted since he became a professional footballer. Antonela also took several photos with the World Cup in her hands.
Now it will be time to rest and enjoy the moment. In principle, everyone will stay in Rosario to spend the New Year’s celebrations, as usual, and only in the first days of January will they return to France to rejoin PSG, leaders of Ligue 1 and who hope to help secure its first title in the Champions League, with the spirit of this final.
It is obvious that coach Cristophe Galtier will license Rosario’s star from the Parisian team’s next matches, which have duels against Racing Strasbourg (Wednesday 28 December) and Lens (Sunday 1 January). Perhaps he is already available to face Angers on Wednesday 11 January.
