Anyone with minimal physical contact or some kind of greeting Lionel Messi, he usually feels that he has achieved a dream that every football fan wants to achieve. And so was the case with the director of The military brass band of General San Martín’s Horse Grenadier Regiment, in charge of directing the welcome to the world champion players upon their arrival in the province of Santiago del Estero with an interpretation of “Muchachos”. And as a reward he was able to greet the World Champion captain.
After the emotional ceremony that CONMEBOL offered to all players in Paraguay, the team arrived last night in Santiago de Abroad testify to a new recognition. Thus, a large number of residents awaited their arrival in the province to greet them, getting a small taste of what will be the new standing ovation against Curaçao tonight.
After the plane descended, the world champions went by bus from the airport to the hotel Hilton Garden Inn, where they will remain until the time of the match, and a five kilometer long cordon of fans has formed to try to greet the players. The effervescence of being a world champion seems to be growing among the people of Argentina.
When they had already arrived at their destination, the other surprise that the coaching staff and players encountered was the thrilling rendition of “Muchachos” that the grenadiers were carrying on, directed by Wilson Ivan Leguiza and accompanied by the neighbors who were present, who sang the lyrics to the song.
When the whole national team got off the bus to enter the hotel, the conductor noticed the presence of Messi walking beside him and He didn’t miss a chance to even touch it to take a picture in which we see how the Argentine star reaches out to the grenadier. Plus, you can see how an ear-to-ear grin embodied Wilson in that moment of utter bliss.
Given this incredible and exciting reception, the players should prepare to face Curaçao tonight from 20:30 at the Madre de Ciudades stadium, where Messi will go in search of his 100 goals for the national team and the 42,000 spectators will try to win an unforgettable souvenir, just like Wilson did too.
