[Saba Sports News] Before the South American qualifier match between Argentina and Chile, Argentine FA president Claudio Tapia also arrived at the national team’s training ground. This time, Tapia did not just come for guidance but personally trained with the Argentina team, demonstrating interaction. Afterwards, President Tapia updated his social media, sharing a photo of himself dribbling past what appears to be Lionel Messi. Tapia wrote on social media: “When facing Messi, he closely observes the opponent’s rhythm and movements.” Currently, Argentina has already secured their qualification for the 2026 World Cup, creating a relaxed atmosphere that helps players mentally relax and prepare better for upcoming games. Tapia’s involvement not only expresses support for the team but also embodies team spirit, narrowing the distance between him and the players, thereby enhancing team cohesion.
