Carlos “Indio” Solari spoke at length about the staging / Archive
Indio Solari, once again, showed his most soccer side and did not hold anything back when it came to talking and praising the National Team after its gigantic title in the Soccer World Cup in Qatar. He did so in an extensive note published in The Rocket to the Moon.
The mentor of an emblematic national rock band like Patricio Rey and the Redonditos de Ricota, as well as a confessed admirer of Juan Román Riquelme, acknowledged that he was very moved by what La Scaleneta had achieved in Arab lands.
“I saw a general joy. She gathered an incomprehensible crowd. An insane crowd by our standards, but it would also have been in any other place in the world. An epic and epic magnitude. No extra was missing! To show a crowd like that in The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson had to blow the smoke out of computers. Crazy!”held.
“I think it’s beautiful, this quilombo. I got really excited the other day. I perceived the polenta of a group of kids who are hungry to justify their lives, with clear objectives. So you can. Because they were united. A human group that had a project that encouraged from the bowels. There you have the key. If there is no emotion, nothing happens.” highlighted the leader, now, of The Fundamentalists of Air Conditioning.
“You saw what was happening in Scotland, in Naples… Crazy stuff! Things like that don’t happen in the rest of the world when, for example, France wins. And when those who celebrated were asked, they explained why: they said that the National Team was an inspiring group in many ways. They must have radiated confidence in the way they played, and through their statements. And on top of that they win: they are heroes! Maradona opened those ports for us.” said the musician, who in the coming days will celebrate his 74th anniversary
“Mbappé is unbearable, that one. Neymar bothers him, he wants to be the best in the world now. he respects a little

He also looked at what happened in downtown Buenos Aires, with some fans who crossed the line and even climbed to the top of the iconic monument of July 9 and Corrientes. “You have to go up to the Obelisk… Have you ever gone up there? I do. You arrive with the prawns that you want to stay there for two days and only then go down. Such a narrow little staircase… It is very high! When there are so many people, someone usually dies inevitably, by law of probability. It cannot be understood that there have not been many who suffered foolishness or accidents, what there was was mathematically minimal, beyond the logical pain of the relatives. Crazy, statistically speaking! A massive, almost Peronist thing was generated, in its expressiveness. Something that involved the emotion of the entire country. The whole society was there! The big problem is that no one could claim that everything. There is a vanguard of young people that finds an epic there. The need for profound transformation is so great that there is no political party that can encompass it, life goes much faster than ideology.”.
El Indio also got on the boat of Lionel Messi, who for so many years was called a cold chest, like his other admirer, Riquelme. “The cold chest ate the championship. I saw him play with an invincible soul, in front of whoever it was. He had to be the captain, not only in football terms, and he gave it up. And it was still dramatic.”.
“On the channels that are on the air 24 hours a day, they end up saying stupid things that people buy, as if they were the Gospel. And the day the woman gored them, they get up from her and grab it with Messi. It was a group of journalists, yes, using their tricks and breaking their balls… they said crazy things, ”she complained.
Then it was time to talk about Dibu Martínez, the hero goalkeeper of the final and for a good part of the cycle. “He is a divine psychopath. If he didn’t save that last shot of the game against France, he was going to hell. But he bankrolled it. You have to put yourself like that in front of a guy who doesn’t kick like you or me. It hits you on the head and you’re groggy! Did you see what he did with his hand (when he got the Gold Glove award)? The sheikh was looking at him… he didn’t understand anything, never, poor thing!
Of the final against the French he said: “I couldn’t believe they played so well. Until then they had not shown such fluid articulation. They entered the area playing! But then the pressure became unbearable. Virginia, my partner, couldn’t watch the game, she took the opportunity to clean the house. I walked all the time, I couldn’t sit down. I didn’t bank it! When they tied us, Argentina played a trick on me. I thought the worst, because we are always about to dip the cookie and in the end nothing happens. They took the best player in the world prisoner… It happened to us a thousand times!”
“But we won. And in that circumstance, everyone was crying and he (Messi) was laughing. Being Messi must be nonsense, like being Maradona. Do you know what it’s like to go to Jakarta and still be Messi? I said that he started very young and must have gotten used to it little by little. My life changed a lot, popularity. They are ungovernable situations. Luckily they decided not to go to Plaza de Mayo. They were going to tear them to pieces!” he continued.
“Messi was not ruined by fame. I love Maradona, but he did things differently: he got into the character, which ended up acquiring monumental dimensions. I don’t see Messi like that, but I liked that he accepted to be the captain, that he became more serious and went to yell at the referee. What is a captain to do! Indian closed.
