Messi’s goals. Big goal. Argentina were beating Mexico in a key match after a heavy blow on their World Cup opener. In full celebration, the cameras focused to one side. It’s just that, on the substitutes’ bench, Pablo Aimar had started crying. Almost three months after that afternoon-night of 26 November, Lionel Scaloni’s team explained the reason for his tears.
The assistant court of the team was received with honors in his hometown, as part of the friendly between the national Sub 15 and Sub 15 of the Río Cuarto Student Athletic Association.
Aimar was accompanied by bernard romeo, youth team coordinator, Diego Placente, Under 17 coach, and Darío Herrera, goalkeeping coach. In addition, representatives of the AFA and local authorities attended the tribute, such as the mayor of Río Cuarto, Juan Manuel Llamosas, and Agustín Calleri, secretary of tourism and sports.
Pending the signing of the new contract for Scaloni’s technical staff, Aimar has expressed his willingness to continue: “I hope I have to continue to be with the older and younger players, because we’re happy in that place. It’s an honor to be part of the national team”
“Having these kinds of matches in inland cities helps clubs and also the boys to continue preparing. Probably the people who see the boys will be able to remember in a few years that this young professional played in the city”warning.
Finally, when asked about how the national team arrived at what they achieved, Aimar left an answer that reflects Scaloneta’s essence: “There are no secrets in football. Those of us who have lived this for so many years have also entered fantastic groups that didn’t win anything. The result depends on many things. In this case it was about having a good atmosphere and then winning. But beyond the title, we had fun.”
