The World Cup achieved by the Argentine team has provoked the delirium of millions of people in the streets of the country and has caused many of them to experience emotions that are practically impossible to describe with words. And the main person responsible for causing all this type of sensation is Lionel Messi.
Hernan Casciari. This writer is a specialist in verbally capturing those things that we carry inside and that we are unable to externalize. Casciari has amazed the world with an excerpt from his story called Messi and his suitcase, which will soon be published in full in Orsai magazine. In this exciting story, the writer reviews the footballer's journey to win the World Cup with his particular gaze, accompanying him with the guiding thread of his experiences as an Argentine immigrant. A condition that he shared with Messi.
Messi and his suitcase. Casciari narrated a preview of his chronicle in the Perros de la calle program: "On Saturday mornings in 2003, TV3 of Catalonia broadcast live the matches of the lower teams of Barça. And in the chats of emigrated Argentines two questions were repeated: how to make dulce de leche by boiling cans of condensed milk, and at what time the fifteen-year-old boy from Rosario who scored goals in all the games played," he begins by saying in his story.
"There were two kinds of immigrants: those who kept their suitcase in the closet as soon as they arrived in Spain, said "okay", "uncle" and "holy". And those of us who had the suitcase without keeping it kept the customs, such as the mate or yeísmo. We said 'yuvia', we said 'caye'", he continues, noting that Messi always wanted to keep his roots.
Casciari reflects on the importance that Messi had for him as an emotional accompaniment during his stay away from Argentine lands and how he was hurt by the criticism that came from his own country: "It is difficult to explain how much life made those of us who lived far from home happy. How He took us out of the boredom of a monotonous society and justified us. In what way did he help us not to lose our compass. Messi made us happy in such a serene and natural way, and so our own, that when the insults began to arrive from Argentina We couldn't understand it."
The reaction of Messi and Antonella. In the same program they quoted the writer again because the presenter, Andy Kusnetzoff, had received an audio from Messi saying that both he and Antonella were moved and cried when they heard the story.
Collective emotion. Hernán Casciari's text and story are traveling the world thanks to the great reception he is having on social networks. Even illustrious people like Manu Ginobili, the best Argentine basketball player of all time, couldn't resist sharing it.
