The one who does not jump is a French

Just yesterday, a couple of weeks ago in a game of the French championship for PSG against Bordeaux, every time Lionel Messi touched the ball they booed him; he was not forgiven for being eliminated from the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Now, in the Bombonera where it could have been the National Team’s farewell at home before the World Cup, every time Messi touched the ball, voices of admiration, illusion, hope, recognition fell from the stands. Pedri, the new star of Barcelona once declared that he always gave the ball to Messi because he knew that something good could happen. The public that filled the field of Boca also knew that things could happen when the ball reached the number 10. It even gave the feeling that at any moment people were going to start singing “the one who does not jump is a French” , as a vindication and revenge for those incredible whistles.

When he lowered the ball, when he made a change of front, when he got rid of an opponent, when he was preparing to kick a free kick, they underlined it with their breath. When he put in an extraordinary pass to Joaquín Correa, they felt that the icing on the cake had arrived. But something was also missing, the goal. He went to look for an extraordinary pass from his compadre Di María, he lowered the ball with his chest and hit it badly, he messed up so badly that he dislodged the Venezuelan goalkeeper and the ball arrived gently, asking the net for permission. The frank smile caught on camera betrayed the recognition that luck had lent a hand this time.

There were several high points in the individual performance of the Argentine team, especially in the second half, but the difference is always made by Rosario because in the darkest moments of the first half the game lit up from time to time with his touches.

Messi’s happiness for everything he produces was extended this time in society with his friend Di María, who also received applause of all colors, since he entered the field.

The Messi-Di María connection and the Scaloni-Pekerman hug in the run-up were sublime moments of a beautiful night of football.

Je vous saluePSG.
