Eloy Room (34) took the ‘fat’ yesterday after the friendly match that his team, Curaçao, played against the Argentine team (7-0). The Dutch goalkeeper of the Brazilian team took the most precious shirt of the Albiceleste, that of Leo Messi, the one that everyone wanted. Although he conceded seven goals in Santiago del Estero, Room was happy.
Room, a Columbus Crew (MLS) player, spoke like this after the friendly: “A dream has come true for me. Everyone is a fan of Messi. Now I have eternal proof that I played against him. He scored three goals, but when We exchanged clothes, he told me I made good saves and that’s very special”.
Like a kid with new shoes, the former Vitesse and PSV goalkeeper said he will be very careful with the shirt. “I will never take it off. I will sleep with her and protect her with my life,” he told TyC Sports. Remko Bicentini, Curaçao coach, most of his players managed to get a jersey from each of the world champions. “But, of course, everything was centered on Messi’s. He really is from a completely different planet, but we already knew that.”
