In Paraguay they say that it is not an ‘anti-Messi’ law, and they already did it in the clash against Brazil last September (1-0 win). The truth is that Albirroja will face Argentina tonight with a curious prohibition aimed at its fans: they will not be able to wear Argentine t-shirts with Messi’s 10 (not Inter Miami’s pink ones either) in the local stands. of Defensores del Chaco, the stadium of the match.
A measure that some MLS clubs have also adopted on occasion. And now Paraguay repeats strategy in tonight’s match (00:30 hours in Spain). The Paraguayan Federation thus wants to avoid its stands being filled with Leo shirts and intends for the reddish color to predominate to try to join forces in the face of a victory that would be important for a Paraguay that needs it.
Yesterday Lionel Scaloni, Argentine coach, gave his opinion on the matter: “It’s good that football people recognize what Messi is. Just because someone has his shirt does not mean that he does not support Paraguay. They wear it in honor of Leo. “I don’t think you have to mix things.”
This law It is not applicable to the visiting stand, for which 1,700 tickets have been enabled. There you can wear Argentina, Inter Miami t-shirts… or whatever you want.
