As soon as he arrived in Montevideo, Lionel Messi quickly won the hearts of Uruguayan football fans when he defied the security guards to take photos with a young fan.
A young Uruguayan fan waited for a long time at the hotel in Montevideo, the capital of Argentina, to meet his idol. As soon as he saw Messi moving from the car to the hotel, the boy wanted to run to ask for an autograph and take a photo together, but was stopped by security staff and asked to leave. However, the striker, who is currently on the payroll of Barcelona, stopped, called the boy back and took a photo with him. This can be considered an act of friendliness from the Argentine superstar to his fans.

In a very critical situation when the team that won the World Cup twice is ranked 5th (the position to qualify for the play-off) in the South American Qualifiers after 14 rounds, Coach Sampoli pays great attention to focusing on the stars in the attack. Besides star Lionel Messi, in this training session, the 57-year-old strategist also called on the attacking players to pay attention such as: Dybala (Juventus), Aguero (Manchester City) and Icardi (Inter Milan).

Speaking to the Daily Mail , the former Sevilla coach said: “I am looking for a solution for the attack when in the last 3 matches in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, the attack only scored 1 goal. You know, we have many options for the attack when there are still many high-class strikers playing at big clubs in Europe. But what I want to emphasize here is the solidarity and collective play of individuals, not a collection of many stars who then step on each other’s toes. I hope that the factors present in this training session will play well and bring victory to the home team.”
Argentina will have two away matches against Uruguay on September 1 and Venezuela on September 6.
