What the Bolivia captain says after seeing local fans support Argentina because of Messi

The Argentine National Team faces Bolivia in a match corresponding to the second qualifying date towards the 2026 World Cup. However, despite the fact that Bolivia is the host, the madness for Messi and company has been felt and this seems not to be true. One of the great stars of the local team has ended up liking him.

Marcelo Martins is one of the historic scorers of the Bolivian National Team. The footballer has participated in multiple qualifiers and has always been one of those who makes a difference. However, in a press conference prior to this match, he spoke about his discomfort regarding Bolivia's support for the Argentine National Team, for Lionel Messi and the stars. There was great excitement at the arrival of this team, and even a crowd was present to receive the National Team and all in support of Lionel Messi.

"We feel the support of the Bolivian fans, they always supported us, we also saw how they supported the Argentine National Team when they arrived. We are going to talk about that topic after the game. The support of our people is always very important, we won it, together we are strong and worse at home, so we have to maintain that union, we cannot be separated, we cannot support two teams."

What else did Marcelo Martins say?

"We have to be united, that is how a competitive team is formed. I am sure that tomorrow we will feel the support of the people," Martins concluded the song, but his words reached the fans. So much so that, a while after the press conference, they called themselves to hold a rally in support of the Green Party. A complicated match is expected in a scenario that has always been difficult for the Argentine National Team.
