The doubts were raised because Messi, 36, had to manage the minutes of the tour in Asia, in which he also had to violate the commercial agreements relating to his presence, as happened in Hong Kong, which became a matter of state and influenced the Argentina national team.
An edema in his left adductor was crucial because the world champion star played just 238 minutes in the grueling tour of preparation matches that Las Garzas drew through El Salvador, Dallas, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan.
In the pleasant and informal conversation we had with the “Leprosy” fans, coach Martino (who bears one of the stands of the Marcelo Bielsa stadium after him) asked that one of the leading players on the pitch located in the Parque Independencia be baptized with the name symbol José ‘Piojo’ Yudicain honor of the former player, coach and idol of the institution.
