Madness in San Juan: the start of ticket sales for Argentina-Brazil was anticipated

The expectation to see the South American classic between Argentina and Brazil, on the 14th date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, was such in San Juan, that there were hundreds of people who fought for a ticket. As a result, there were incidents in the ranks.

Although the sale of tickets for the South American classic will formally begin this Monday, thousands of Argentine supporters lined up up to four kilometers to secure a place to see the duel that will take place, among other protagonists Lionel Messi and Neymar.

With this panorama at the Autodromo El Villicum de San Juan, the authorities decided to advance the start of ticket sales for this same Sunday, at 9:45 pm, as reported by TyC Sports.

“Due to the great demand for the face-to-face sale of tickets for the meeting between Argentina and Brazil, the Secretary of State for Sports announces that the start of face-to-face ticket sales for tonight will be brought forward”, was the information that was read in the source.

It is expected that in a few hours the little more than 20 thousand seats available in the Del Bicentenario stadium in San Juan will be sold out, after the sanction of reduction of capacity that FIFA applied to Argentina for the discriminatory songs in the duel against Uruguay.

Facing the classic next Tuesday against Brazil in San Juan, coach Lionel Scaloni would start captain Messi.

Scaloni maintains the incognito of the starting eleven but Lionel Messi could enter for Paulo Dybala, who in the victory against Uruguay came out with a muscular discomfort, while another of the doubts in the midfield is whether Leandro Paredes will replace Guido Rodríguez.

The other question for the duel against Brazil is who will play on the right side; if Nahuel Molina Lucero will remain, or if Gonzalo Montiel will enter that place.
