Hupu News November 14 This Thursday morning, with the arrival of Messi and the Argentina national team, Elche spent an unforgettable morning. More than 20,000 spectators poured into the stadium to watch Argentina's training. In response, Elche club owner Christian Bragarnik commented on the event in front of the media.

"I thank the Argentine Football Association and the players. I just made this suggestion by chance and they readily accepted it. It was all just a coincidence. It is a good thing for Elche to be able to host this kind of event. The Spanish national team came not long ago and Argentina came today, which proves that our stadium meets the standards. "

"I was still thinking yesterday that Messi has not played here for a long time. To welcome the best players in the world and world champions, this is indeed what I expected. " He even jokingly dreamed of seeing Messi play for Elche: "Yes, yes, we open the door for him at any time, but that will be another topic. "

Blagarnik also took the opportunity to review the current situation of Elche and was satisfied with the team's performance after 12 rounds: "I am very happy. Although we have not scored the expected points in recent games, the game process is important. The fans agree with what they see. Through our philosophy, we have shown a team that dares to take risks and is not afraid of the West. As a team in A, our goal is still to fight for relegation. "

Seeing the stands filled with compatriots and families, the Argentine entrepreneur proudly concluded: "It is a pride for everyone to enjoy this. Seeing Messi in person is historic, a wonderful thing, and a dream come true for many children. "
