Lionel Messi, the "God of Soccer," has been attracting attention recently for his strong affection for the English Premier League (EPL) team Tottenham.
Messi has never played in the EPL and has no connection to Tottenham, so why is he so interested in the club? The reason Messi has his eye on Spurs is because some of his trusted teammates on the Argentine national team are wearing Spurs shirts.
One is center back Cristian Romero, who plays with the A team. The other is Tottenham's 20-year-old sensation Alejo Velis. Tottenham signed Bellis in August, tying him down to a long-term contract through 2029.
Bellis is a member of Argentina's U-20 national team. Although he has yet to earn a call-up to the Argentina A team, he has been heavily monitored by Messi and is highly touted as the future of Argentina. 카지노사이트가이드
According to the British Express, "Messi has revealed his love for Tottenham. Messi believes Spurs have 'the best center back in the world and the next Luis Suarez'," the Express reported.
"Messi believes Romero is the best defender in the world. And he thinks Bellerin will develop into a big striker like his best friend Suarez. Messi is a big fan of both Romero and Velis."
In fact, Messi said at the A-Match call-up in September: "For me, Romero is the best defender in the world. He's been incredible for the Argentina national team."
He also did Bellis the honor of comparing him to Suarez, the striker he knows best. "No one knows Suarez better than Messi. The resemblance to Suarez is one of the highest compliments he could have given Bellis.
"He's the most talented young player in Argentina," Messi said. When I watch him play, he reminds me of what Suarez used to be like. I'm very excited about the future of Argentine football. I hope I can influence him and talk to him."
