🇦🇷🧠 Ugh, the statements from Julian Alvarez on Lionel Messi and their relationship in Argentina NT:
"I have a photo from 2011, when we were able to go with my brothers to the hotel in Córdoba, for the Copa América. He was our idol with my brothers and we did the math on my age, the World Cups, what years they were in and, well, then in the end how everything turned out was magical.
I posted a lot of things on social media. I remember when I was younger, discussions with friends, things cheering him on. For me, he's always been the best in the world for many years now, because of his way of being on the field and off it too. Such a crack and so humble at the same time.
It's a privilege to have been able to share all these moments with him. The hug after having become world champions, the truth is that it was a very emotional moment. And then, especially because of him, to have been able to be part of that so special moment and help make it happen. The truth is, nothing, it's very exciting, very gratifying and it was very nice.
He has many gestures in everyday life that maybe he doesn't realize or doesn't grasp the magnitude of, but for those of us around, it means a lot, for all of us. It's very powerful"
