On June 24 he was about to leave for Spain. It was coming on Thursday.

When asked what gift he would like to give him, the Clown returned: “I would like him to continue enjoying so that he can continue to enjoy us all”.
Later, the former footballer of Valencia and Zaragoza, today coach of the U17 team, said: “Leo is among the 5 best players in history. Overcome the barrier of great players.

Throughout the day, Messi had received much love in his country in the media and on the networks. No wonder the warmth of the Argentina National Team and the president of the AFA, Claudio Tapia. Neither the affection of Marcelo Tinelli, president of San Lorenzo and the Professional Soccer League. It was logical that Newell’s also wrapped him in the best feelings: throughout Wednesday, several times they greeted him from the official accounts of the Rosario club. What's more, in a post, they remembered a phrase from Leo recounting his wishes to wear the red-black shirt and, although it sounded obvious, they pointed out: “Your dream is our illusion”.
What was striking was the appearance on the scene of Conmebol and Alejandro Domínguez. The highest body of South American football and its president had been exposed during the last Copa América played in Brazil, when Messi exploded against the system angered by the arbitrations. Despite those harsh accusations, Conmebol wished him “Happy birthday” and Domínguez added: “Congratulations Lionel Messi. Great ambassador for South American football and an example of commitment on and off the pitch. ”
