Great lover of his national selection, Facundo Medina rarely has the opportunity to wear the Albiceleste jersey. The RC Lens defender therefore did not hesitate to put his hand in his pocket when he had to join Lionel Scaloni's team following the withdrawal of Lisandro Martinez. Explanations.
Facundo Medina in love with his selection
If this does not reach the amount of money granted by Guershon Yabusele to free himself from his contract with Real Madrid to have the right to a second chance in the NBA, Facundo Medina still made a financial effort to honor his last-minute call-up to the national team, he who had not had the honor of a call-up for the selection since September 2023. The RC Lens defender thus took things into account hand to reach the South American continent.
“When we called him, he got his plane ticket instantly because he absolutely wanted to join us, underlines Lionel Scaloni. It's something precious. He wasn't on the list or even the pre-list, he did everything on his own. He went to talk to his coach, he paid for his ticket and he arrived this morning. It's something to promote, because it's a very good message for the group. »
Remaining on the sidelines against Paraguay (2-1), Facundo Medina thus witnessed the surprise defeat of his team, with a rant from Lionel Messi against the referee of the match. Before returning to Lens, the central defender will perhaps be entitled to a minimum of time to reward him against Peru, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday.
