Lionel Messi was taken by surprise during Argentina's training session on Wednesday by a pitch invader he briefly mistook for his former Barcelona team-mate and friend Ronaldinho. Argentina trained in front of thousands of fans and press at Belo Horizonte's Estadio Independencia, where Ronaldinho regularly turns out for Atletico Mineiro. After some light running, the Albiceleste squad were divided into small groups for games of football-tennis in a low-key session which finished amid chaos as over a dozen supporters climbed over the fences to invade the pitch and ran in search of a handshake or a hug from their heroes. Most headed in Messi's direction and security guards were overwhelmed in their attempts to halt the fans as the practice was quickly brought to an abrupt end. But the Argentine was initially fooled by the Ronaldinho double. Robinson Oliveira, who works as a professional lookalike of the Brazilian forward, told Goal: "When he saw me he was shocked because he thought I was the real Ronaldinho and he told me that I didn't need to run on the pitch to see him. "He said: 'What are you doing running on here to see me?' When he held my hand, I went down on my knees [and bowed]. It was so emotional." He added: "I didn't plan this. I just thought to myself that I have to hold his hand because this is the only opportunity I will have to see him." The lookalike, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the former Barca hero, ended up with a bloodied hand after scaling the fence in his adventure to meet Messi, but said: "It was worth it." Asked which of the two players he prefers, he replied: "Ronaldinho, of course!" Argentina and Messi kick off their World Cup campaign against Bosnia at the Maracana on Sunday. |
據(jù)外媒Goal.com網(wǎng)站6月12日報道,在阿根廷周三(6月11日)的公開訓練中,令梅西始料未及的是,昔日巴薩隊友兼好友“小羅”驚現(xiàn)阿根廷訓練場。 奪冠大熱門阿根廷隊在貝洛奧里藏特的集訓營備戰(zhàn),而下榻的大本營是小羅目前效力的米涅羅競技的主場,大約有1萬名球迷和媒體圍觀了此次訓練。 在一番慢跑之后,阿根廷國腳們分成幾個小組,低調(diào)地玩起了網(wǎng)式足球。許多狂熱的球迷為一嘗與偶像握手和擁抱的滋味,不惜翻越看臺欄桿,闖入球場內(nèi),因而這一次的公開訓練在一片喧鬧和混亂中結(jié)束了。 大多數(shù)球迷徑直奔向梅西,保安人員忙于攔下球迷,這場公開訓練不得不提前結(jié)束。 然而阿根廷人卻被“假小羅”以假亂真。 羅賓森·奧利維拉(Robinson Oliveria)與巴西前鋒小羅長得太像了,他說:“梅西看到我時很震驚,以為我就是羅納爾迪尼奧,還說我用不著特意跑到球場來看他。” “他說:‘你為什么跑到球場來看我呢?’當梅西握住我的手,我單膝跪在了他面前。這一幕太讓人激動了?!?/p> 羅賓森又說:“我本來沒有計劃這么做,但是那一刻我對自己說,我必須握緊他的手,因為這也許是我唯一可以與他面對面的機會。” 這位盜版球迷,與巴薩前射手小羅驚人的相似,他冒險翻越欄桿只為一睹梅西的風采,雙手受傷有些血跡。但他說:“這一切都值得。” 但當被問及梅西和小羅兩位球星,他更鐘愛誰時,他毫不猶豫地回答當然是小羅! 由梅西領(lǐng)銜的阿根廷隊將于周日在馬拉卡納迎來本屆世界杯的首戰(zhàn),對手是波黑。 (譯者 小愛Tiana 編輯 齊磊) 掃一掃,關(guān)注微博微信
