This is a match that Messi did not participate in, but the Argentina team still sent a very strong force to Indonesia.
The entire Indonesian team is also very excited to face the strongest team in the world at the moment. President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) Erick Thohir affirmed that he will give the whole team a big bonus if they achieve good results against Argentina.
Speaking to the press, the head of Indonesian football said: "I want the Indonesian team to draw with Argentina. If the goal is achieved, I will give the players and coaching staff a big bonus.
If we beat Argentina, it will be an extraordinary achievement for the Indonesian team. Overall, as long as we don't lose in the upcoming match, the entire Indonesian team will be rewarded."
Currently, the Argentina team is ranked number one in the world, 148 places higher than Indonesia on the rankings.
Obviously, the difference in level between the two teams is huge. However, the team from the archipelago also has a certain confidence when it has a series of 11 consecutive unbeaten matches at home.
According to records, tickets for the friendly match between Indonesia and Argentina have been sold out with 4 prices including 600,000 Rupiah; 1.2 million Rupiah; 2.5 million Rupiah and 4.25 million Rupiah (ranging from 950,000 to 6.68 million VND).
Although Messi did not go to Indonesia this time, the black market ticket situation in Indonesia is quite active. Ticket brokers are "screaming" prices 2-3 times higher than the original price.
On the evening of June 16, the entire Argentina team arrived in Indonesia to prepare for a friendly match with the host team.
PSSI President Erick Thohir also spoke out: "I am very sad that Messi did not come to Indonesia this time. I am his fan. However, if Messi does not appreciate the trip to Indonesia, it is okay.
However, during this time, the Argentine team also brought many other excellent stars to Indonesia, such as Julian Alvarez, who just won the Champions League with Man City. I think that is a positive thing for Indonesian football."
