The Argentine star will take the captaincy at the premiere of Sabella as coach of the albiceleste, next Friday against Venezuela in Calcutta
The rumors that speculated in recent weeks about a possible transfer of the captain of the Argentina team, finally, have just confirmed.
And the Argentine coach, Alejandro Sabella, has decided to pass on the captaincy of the albiceleste. Until yesterday the midfielder was in the hands Barca, Javier Mascherano. But from this Sunday will be the hands of possibly the best player in the world, also Barca, Lionel Messi.
Before boarding his way to Calcutta to debut Friday in the office next Friday against Venezuela, Sabella said to have "decided" who take the bracelet.
Sabella admitted with complications but without naming it, that the chosen scored a goal last Friday, referring to both the `10 'FC Barcelona against Porto in the European Super Cup. "Maybe, I have bad memory, but I think so," he said.
The 'crack' of Rosario, 24, will take the bracelets after 61 games and 19 goals for the albiceleste, though, and was captain of the Argentina team in the match against Greece in the World Cup in South Africa.
A change would be a breath of fresh air for the albiceleste. Mascherano will be a moral leader in the field by character, without requiring a bracelet. Messi takes over from the 'little chief'. And as usual lately, everything is at home.
