Messi's mother shares emotional message ahead of Argentina vs. England match

Celia Cuccittini, the mother of Argentinian football star Lionel Messi, shared an emotional message that resonated with fans ahead of the national team's World Cup semifinal match against England. Her words were revealed during an appearance on the television program Infama.

“

Leo is the figure of the selection, he is the one who organizes the team with his eyes, with his gestures. He is the one who has been most accurate in that aspect. I think Enzo Fernández will also explode against England. I say the same about Julián Álvarez. They have to be patient.

During the show, psychic José Fuentes made predictions about Argentina's performance, stating that Messi would reach 10 goals in the tournament and that the team had a positive outlook for the upcoming match. He also commented on the performances of Enzo Fernández and Julián Álvarez, advising patience.

“

I predicted that Lionel will reach 10 goals in this World Cup; two are missing to complete that prediction. He moves me more, he has that vibration on the field. Don't forget that yesterday (Saturday) was 11, a master number. I knew they were going to win.

Cuccittini herself sent a message to the Infama panel, which was read on air by host Karina Iavícoli. She conveyed her gratitude for the support and expressed her belief with the phrase "elijo creer" (I choose to believe). The panel responded by performing a ritual to ward off bad luck, while Fuentes reiterated his positive predictions for the team.

“

Sorry, Celia, Messi's mom, just texted me. The mother of number 1 is watching us. She sends kisses to everyone and thanks us for the affection. She wrote to me, 'I choose to believe'.

The match against England, scheduled for July 15 in Atlanta, marks the first encounter between the two nations in nearly 21 years. Messi acknowledged the significance of the game, stating, "I've played against everyone except England, and it's special because it's a big team, a powerhouse, and it's always nice to play against a team like that, especially in a World Cup semifinal."
