Messi's difficult start to the World Cup
Lionel Messi did not start the World Cup in Russia on the right foot. Not only because of the missed penalty and the performance of the national team, which could not win their first match. The situation for him had already been complicated since before Saturday's game.
It all goes back to the days before his trip to the championship's venue, when a video was leaked at the concentration camp where his great friend, "Kun" Agüero, talks about some "nice things" that he wanted another friend of his, "Tirri", to give him.
The video circulated on all cell phones, including, obviously, Antonela Roccuzzo's, the Barcelona star's wife.
Although it was never clear what Agüero and "Tirri" were talking about, Antonela did not like the fact that Messi also "signed up" for the proposition. The videos, as it later became known, are from two years ago.
That day, the national team's number 10 downplayed the situation and gave his reasons, which did not become public. And reportedly, according to his inner circle, the relationship was tense as soon as the video was leaked, although the couple spoke the following day and ironed out all the rough edges before Argentina drew with Iceland.
During these days, Antonela is in Rosario. It seems that she had already planned to watch the first matches of the national team in order not to travel to Russia with their three-month-old baby, Ciro. By the way, her idea was to accompany her sister, Paula, who gave birth two weeks ago to her second child, Simón.
That's why Anto was absent among the family members in the Argentine boxes. And there were no shortage of people who associated that with a supposed couple's fight.
Faced with all this, Roccuzzo decided to put an end to a snowball that had started to roll by posting a photo with Lionel Messi and their three children. "Always together and with you more than ever," she wrote on Instagram.
It was reported that Rocuzzo plans to travel to Barcelona on June 25, where she will leave Ciro in the care of a relative. From there, she will travel back and forth to Russia, without staying in the cold country.
