DON'T TELL ME! Merentiel Reveals the Secret of the Chat with Paredes That Makes Us All Thrill

Attention, Argentine fans! Something big is coming, and it’s not just anything. Miguel Ángel Merentiel, the Bull who is tearing it up at Boca and knocking on the door of the National Team, let out a phrase that has us all on edge. The striker, who started in Vasco Arruabarrena’s first official friendly at Xeneize, referred to the chats with Leandro Paredes and the play of the week that has already gone viral.

—What did Paredes tell you in that tackle against Egypt? —they asked him, and La Bestia held nothing back: “It was crazy, don’t tell me. I swear that on the pitch you feel something else when you have a number 5 like him. He’s an animal, a lion. He told me to always be alert, that he’s got my back.” Just like that, with all the epicness of the Scaloneta!

Paredes’ tackle, which has already gone around the world, has all Argentines on the edge of their seats. And Merentiel, who comes from a dance at Boca, doesn’t hesitate to back his national teammate. “This is a dream, we all tear it up together. Let’s go Argentina, damn it,” added the Bull, who is already shaping up as one of Scaloni’s team’s stars.

Fans exploded on social media: “Merentiel and Paredes, the duo we need,” “That’s how you talk, with soul,” “The Scaloneta never stops surprising.” And meanwhile, Vasco Arruabarrena is rubbing his hands: having La Bestia at his best is a luxury.

What comes next? The World Cup is coming, glory is coming. With these lions, Argentina has everything to roar louder than ever. Let’s go, damn it!
