Great news was received by Francisco Ortega, who was called up to Argentina’s squad for the pivotal matches against Uruguay (16/11 in Bobonera) and the Brazil (21/11 at the Maracana) as part of the World Cup qualifiers for the South American zone.
His full back Olympiakou will have the opportunity to be on the Albiceleste roster and train alongside big stars of world football, such as Paulo Dybala, Angel Di Maria and of course Lionel Messi.
In fact, coexistence with the latter was his dream, which is proven by a post he made in the distant 2017, when the then 18-year-old Ortega was a member of Argentina U20 teamand found himself with ‘Pulga’ during the preparation.
The left back of the “red and white” had written then: “I can’t help but smile or get excited when I see you catch the ball and do things that only you can do, you’re a monster! Thank you for being Argentinian and being who you are! I am honored to be able to say that I trained alongside you! Thank you for this football Lionel.’
