“We have to win on Sunday, otherwise it will be a long time! “The comment of Geoffrey Palis, defender of Castres Rugby Club, speaks to all the ‘hell’ that Argentine newcomer Benjamin Urdapilleta endured in the final hours for his teammates ahead of the final match of the World Cup on Sunday (16:00). between Argentina and France.
A big football fan, number 10 Puma (36 years old, 20 villages), French champion in 2018 with KO, decided to share, or rather impose his passion on partners. In a video posted on social media, we see him arriving at the gym wearing an Albicelesta T-shirt and singing a support song through a megaphone. The voice seems hoarse, probably because this is not the first time since the start of the World Cup that Urdapilleta has declared his love for the sky and the white jersey.
Urdapilleta is such an Argentina fan that he recently admitted to expelling his son from school in the first World Cup match against Saudi Arabia that started at 11 am before bringing him to school in tears because Albiceleste lost to everyone’s surprise (1- 2).
He also said that he did not want a final between France and Argentina. “I am the only Argentine in the club and if France ever wins I will be locked out for a few weeks! Conversely, I will add a few suggestions, but I will lose more than I gain in this story. Apparently he found a good way to get ahead of the camera…
His selection partner Juan Imhoff, a Racing winger, told him that his three-year-old son now wants to be called Messi.
