“Please. Messi? Kick him out of the World Cup.”
Mexican television is reporting from Qatar when a fan suddenly jumps into the picture, imitates Ronaldo’s celebration and yells “Siiim”. The reporter reacts immediately and asks the man to come over. He then has a clear message that he wants to send to Mexico: “Tomorrow you will play against Argentina. Please. Messi? Kick him out of the World Cup.”
To underscore his message, the Saudi Arabian football fan says: “Ciao, Ciao Messi. Bye.” Then the young man wants to ask one more question: «Where is Messi?» And to make sure the Mexican viewers understand, he unpacks his Spanish: “Donde esta Messi?” he asks, bending down to the ground.
Will Messi be in today’s game against Mexico? We’ll find out from 8 p.m.
