Argentina to visit Bangladesh in June for a friendly. Argentina is in talks to visit Bangladesh in June, according to Kazi Salahuddin, president of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The South Asian nation is home to a sizable concentration of Lionel Scaloni’s team’s supporters. Videos of Argentina’s World Cup victory celebrations by Bangladeshi fans went popular on social media.
When La Albiceleste met Venezuela in an exhibition match at the Salt Lake Stadium in India in 2011, they made their first trip to South Asia. The match was won 1-0 by Lionel Messi’s team.
It appears that their trip to Bangladesh is about to be officially confirmed. BFF President Salahuddin stated the following to the Dhaka Tribune: “Argentina’s proposed visit to Bangladesh is nearly complete. Only the terms and circumstances are being discussed at this time.”
After playing in one of the most exciting World Cup finals ever, Argentina overcame France to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. La Albiceleste won the match in a penalty shootout after the score remained tied at 3-3 after extra time. Messi, their captain, not only scored a brace but also made his penalty kick in the shootout.
Messi performed admirably at the World Cup and received encouragement from Bangladeshi fans the entire time. He was voted the Golden Ball winner, an award given to the World Cup’s greatest player, for his seven goals and three assists. After winning the prize once before in 2014, Messi now holds two Golden Balls.
Given Lionel Messi’s extraordinary talent and playing history, one might ask what fresh skills a coach can impart to him. Lionel Scaloni, La Albiceleste’s head coach, has discussed working with former teammate Messi.
Coaching Messi is not difficult, according to Scaloni. Technically speaking, you can’t correct him, but there are moments when you can tell him how to press or attack. He is the best when he smells blood.
The arduous burden of deciding between Messi and the late great Diego Maradona was also assigned to Scaloni. Scaloni backed Messi while praising Maradona’s magnificence. He stated: “Leo is the one I would pick if I had to because we have a special connection. Despite Maradona being a brilliant player as well, he is the finest of all time.”
