Joaquín Sánchez has sent an audio message to the young blind amateur of Olot that he recorded months ago an ad with Messi and then he revealed that he would have preferred to do it with the portuense, since the Betic player is his idol.
Joaquín, through the Peña Bética de Olot, has learned of what was said by Pere Ribas, a fourth year ESO student from Olot (Girona) who had the possibility of record with Messi the promotion of a device that identifies faces and is able to read books to make life easier for people with vision problems.
Ribas “hallucinated” with Leo Messi, as his mother explained to EFE after that filming, but He would have preferred to do it together with his idol, Joaquín, no matter how famous the Argentine is. The young Catalan is passionate about football, to the point that he is a commentator on Radio Olot of the matches of the local team, which plays in the Second Division B, although his favorite team is Real Betis.
After knowing this anecdote through the Peña Bética de Olot, Joaquín has sent him personally a few words to Pere Ribas in which, after greeting him with his usual wit, he explains that he hopes to see him “soon” and that to see if “this covid” happens and they can meet. “I send you a big hug and long live Betis.”
Pere Ribas's answer, also in audio form, is that he hopes to test the facial identification device with him “shortly”, while declaring “excited” by the friendliness of the footballer. “Let's see if this year Betis has a good season,” adds the one who aspires to become a journalist in the future before concluding with: “Long live Betis.”
