After a season full of sporting commitments, with an entire World Cup lifted in Qatar and a change of club at the end of the season, Lionel Messi is now resting in his native Rosario after having played the last game of the season wearing the National Team shirt. Argentina in the friendly against Australia. While waiting for his presentation and the start of the new season with Inter Miami, the club he chose to continue his career after his uncomfortable time at Paris Saint-Germain, Leo’s presence shocked and surprised him on his vacation in Rosario.
Juan Pablo, a worker at a churrería in the Funes neighborhood, where the star has his house, got a big surprise when he met the “10”. And it is that during his vacations, the best player in the world gives himself the pleasure of minimally breaking his diet. For this reason, this Monday, the man from Rosario picked up the phone and called the aforementioned churrería to place an order.
Clearly, there was no evidence at the premises that the person behind the mobile phone was Messi. In the churrería, which usually receives many orders through WhatsApp, the landline phone rang repeatedly. “The phone did not stop ringing, but we only answer by WhatsApp,” said Sofía, manager of the premises.
And he added: “What I always do is register the number and then write to him, so I contacted him. He asked me for three dozen churros and we sent him to Kentucky.
On other occasions where the star has been in Rosario, the venue has received orders from those around him. But the surprise was total when discovering that the person who was placing the order was the captain of the world champion team. “I had so many orders that day that I didn’t know what they were. It has happened to us on other occasions that they order us and we send them our products, although we never thought they were for Leo, that he ate them. Knowing that the family received them of the champion was a pamper to the soul, but this surpassed everything ”, he indicated.
After the insistence of the Messi family to be able to get the churros, Juan Pablo went to the place to deliver the order. At times, no one knew what had happened to Juan when they saw that he did not return to the premises. But of course, having Messi in front of you doesn’t happen every day, and he spent about 45 minutes delivering the order.
“It was the best day of my life, I still can’t believe it. I think of that moment and tears come to my eyes, ”Jumpi quoted, commenting on his feelings about a chance meeting that almost did not happen. Juan Pablo returned to the premises moved to see his idol in person, according to Sofía: “He was almost trembling and crying because he could not believe what had happened to him. He told us that Antonela was the one who took care of him, that Mateo hugged him, and Leo He greeted him from the back of the house. He couldn’t take a photo, but he took that memory with him, “he concluded.
