The match against the Panamanian League team is the pretext. The really important thing will be the reunion of the world champion Argentina team in Qatar with the fans that will take place this Thursday from 8:30 p.m. in a Monumental stadium filled with 83 thousand spectators. AFA has set up a great musical and soccer show with the participation of important bands and soloists and live television from TyC Sports and Public TV, in the middle of which the stars of the National Team, led by the greatest star Lionel Messi, will be celebrated by the crowd painted in light blue and white.
In principle, Coach Lionel Scaloni’s idea is to start the match with the same formation that started the unforgettable World Cup final against France in Doha and make changes as the game progresses. Messi will surely play the ninety minutes and will have an additional incentive to do so: if he scores at least two goals, he will reach one hundred conquests in the Argentine National Team.
The arrival by bus from the campus to the Monumental is quite an issue because large popular demonstrations are discounted on the side of the Ricchieri highway and General Paz avenue. Perhaps not of the magnitude of those that occurred on December 20 last year when five million people took to the streets to welcome the world champions in triumph. But if important enough to cause delays. That’s why, It is not ruled out that at least the players and the coaching staff arrive at the stadium by air at midday.
The Monumental will open at 3:30 p.m. to avoid last-minute crowds and from the early hours of the day there will be two containment rings in charge of the Buenos Aires City Police in the vicinity of the stadium. At 4:00 p.m. and with the animation of Sergio Goycochea, the show will begin; At 4:15 p.m., DJ Fer Palacio will begin to play music for the fans and between 5 and 6 p.m. there will be a break for the launch of an advertising campaign for the women’s soccer team and a preview of the film “La Scaloneta” will be broadcast “.
At 6:00 p.m. the music will return with the presentation of the cumbiero group from La Plata “Los Totora”, at 6:40 p.m., Fer Palacio will return with another musical set and then La T y la M, the Florencio Varela duo will play, who will sing the song “Pa’ the National Team” that accompanied the players during the World Cup in Qatar. At 7:10 p.m. it will be the turn of Tula, the historic fan of the selected team, who will sing “Muchachos” together with Fernando Romero, the teacher who created the lyrics of the song that the whole country sang during the World Cup and At 7:40 p.m. the players are scheduled to leave to do the pre-competitive exercises. Surely at that moment the first great ovation of the event will come.
At 8:20 p.m., the two teams will take to the pitch and the tango singer Ariel Ardit will sing the National Anthem. During halftime, WOS will join the event to sing the song “Arrancármelo”, chosen by Messi to synthesize the conquest in Qatar. Finally, a stage will be set up for Captain Messi to lift the World Cup again. And the closure will be in charge of the Cordovan quartet group La Konga. For a crowd to sing and dance at midnight with the excuse of a football game.
