Context and Easter
Amidst all this, and in context, Easter came along, where some players showed their cooking skills and others took the opportunity to express a message to their followers on social media.
Two legends of the National Team stood out for sharing the preparation of the quintessential traditional food for these dates.
One of them, Óscar Tacuara Cardozo, a 36-year-old forward and goal scorer for Club Libertad, shows us how the traditional Paraguayan chipa turned out. Using the ancestral custom of tatacua, shovel, and grill with banana leaves.
On the other hand, Nelson Haedo Valdez, a 36-year-old forward and captain of Cerro Porteño, shared a photo on Instagram with his three children along with a heartfelt message: "Health and love".
The Lion is one of those who stays fit by training at home.
In Argentina, the emerging star of Argentine football, Robert Rojas, was also seen on Instagram, in a video kneading dough for chipa.
"The most delicious chipa in the world is going to come out", his girlfriend wrote alongside a video where the defender is seen preparing the chipa.
