The former Manchester City star, behind Messi's silent contribution, his contribution is self-evident.
Although Agulu said goodbye to professional soccer last year due to heart problems, he still cares about the national team. This year, he became Argentina's "firefighter", accompanying his teammates to train on the eve of the final, and even sharing a room with his friend Lionel Messi. Agulu's arrival may not have much impact on other players, but for Messi, sharing a bed with his best friend is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. In the end, Messi's outstanding performance helped Argentina win the championship, and after the game Agulu even carried Messi on his shoulders, sharing the joy of victory, the two deep emotion, no need to say more.
Agulu and Messi became roommates for the first time at the 2005 World Youth Championships, and the two of them knew each other at first sight. Messi is also the godfather of Benjamin, Agulu's son, and this affection is evident. Although they did not play for the same team, Messi played for Barcelona and Agulu played for Manchester City, their friendship remained the same. Unfortunately, in 2021, Agulu left the team to join Barcelona, wanted to create glory with Messi, but because of Barcelona's financial difficulties, Messi failed to renew his contract, and went to Paris Saint-Germain, the dream is broken. More unfortunately, Agulu was then diagnosed with heart problems and retired early, and Messi did not live with his other national teammates after his close friend retired.
