That the madness for the Scaloneta is total is no longer a novelty. It was before the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, during the four weeks that the tournament lasted and now that the Argentina national team is already world champion and was greeted by a crowd upon arrival in the country on Tuesday with the long-awaited Cup .
Among those present who accompanied the albiceleste from Ezeiza airport to the AFA headquarters during the early hours of the morning, there was a fan who did the impossible to hack into the players micro. And he understood it.
It concerns a man who was waiting for the samples from the top of one of the bridges they were about to pass over and, when he saw the micro approaching, he prepared to make a dangerous maneuver.
The moment was recorded through a video that went viral on Tik Tok where you can see how the fan hangs from the bridge structure and it loosens just as the convertible with the Selection passed under him.
He jumped from a distance of just over a meter: he managed to land almost standing up a few centimeters from where Lionel Messi was, who was sitting in the back with some teammates and the cup.
In fact, the man fell right in front of the Argentine 10 who, in the captured images, seems surprised by the sudden appearance of the young man.
Beyond their amazement, the players reacted quickly and the first thing they did was signal those who were at the top of the bridge – probably friends or relatives of the fan who got on the bus – and give them a thumbs up. up to tell them they were fine.
In this sense, since the operation they have not provided information on the identity of the fan or on how the interference was fomented.
The arrival of the world champions in Argentina
The plane on which the Argentine national team arrived touched down at 2:24 am. As it moved forward, two fire trucks formed an arc of water under which the aircraft could pass. A ritual reserved for special moments that recalled, on this occasion, a scene from a film.
The first to go down was Lionel Messi, at 2.56. He came out with the World Cup in hand and with Lionel Scaloni. A large delegation awaited them, including the Minister of the Interior, Wado de Pedro, and other government officials such as the national director of migration, Florencia Carignano, as well as the ambassador of Qatar, Battal Al Dosari, among others.
None of them were received directly by the players. According to the curious explanation given by them, this is due to the fact that the staff of the various bodies and authorities acted “with the assumption of not delaying or hindering their arrival on campus” to “facilitate and accelerate their arrival and their departure from the airport.”
The protagonists were also welcomed by the La Mosca group, which staged a show on an improvised stage. Obviously he sang ‘Muchachos’ in loop, the iconic song that accompanied the national team during its world tour.
From there, they walked down a red carpet, under an arch that read “Thank you champs,” and finally climbed into the micro convertible. They set off sideways, straight up the Richieri Highway, heading to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) property in Ezeiza, where they spent the night.
