the festivities are over. At least the ‘official’ ones, because the players and members of the coaching staff of World Champion Argentina still have plenty of time to celebrate. This Tuesday, shortly after 18:00, the AFA announced that the players have been released from Ezeiza’s property, where they had returned by helicopter after the huge, historic and frustrated caravan attempted across the Buenos Aires city limits. .

With a tweet on his official account, The Argentina national team also reported that they had to change their schedule. The fatigue of the players, who only slept a few hours after returning from Doha, added to the more than six hours spent on the roof of the open bus drinking alcohol and under the sun’s rays, sthey buried the itinerary that marked a dinner with their relatives and employees on the same property as Ezeiza.

Messi, in Rosario with Di María and Dybala

One of the first to leave the property was captain Lionel Messi, who left by plane with Ángel Di María e Paulo Dybala, who continued his journey in Córdoba after the stop in Rosario. There they didn’t leave by land means, but both “Pulga” and “Fideo” got on a helicopter to travel the 30 kilometers that separate them from Funes, where they have their home.

The families of Messi and Di María were already in the city. Antonela Rocuzzo and the rest of the relatives of the World Champion Team captain arrived this Monday afternoon, and a few hours later Jorgelina Cardoso made up with Mía and Pía, the daughters she has with Angelito.

Now it will be time to rest and enjoy the moment. In principle, Messi will remain in Rosario to spend the New Year’s celebrations, as usual, and only in the first days of January will he return to France to rejoin PSG, leaders of Ligue 1 and who he hopes to help secure his first title . in the Champions League, with the boost of the World Cup.

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.

It was not yet known what would happen in the next few hours and days in the city of Santa Fe, which, through its mayor Pablo Javkin, had already offered a security scheme so that Messi, Di María and Ángel Correa – the three local players mentioned originally in the World Cup list – can celebrate the title at the World Cup with the Rosario fans.

“We are happy, yesterday was a wonderful day. I think it was the mobilization in the largest monument in the history of Rosario. We know they will come here later. We like to say that we are the football capital of the world, but yesterday it was ratified”Javkin said in a dialogue with CNN Radio.

According to what is said, about 700,000 people passed by the Monument to the Flag and the celebrations were repeated in about 300 streets of the city.

others by land

Many of the footballers set off in private cars, as is the case with Marcos ‘Huevo’ Acuna, Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martinez Y Alexis MacAllister. This caused new overflows among the fans who still remained at the gate of the venue.

The latter two would return to their cities: Martínez in Mar del Plata and Mac Allister has every intention of being able to go to La Pampa, even if only for one day.
