May 19th, 37-year-old Argentine veteran Terrejo, who played for Vallecano, recently talked about his experience of fighting side by side with Scaloni and his relationship with Messi.

Argentina head coach Scaloni was teammate in Mallorca from 2008 to 2009: "When we were still in Mallorca, he always drove me crazy. I was the youngest player, but we have a lot in common, such as we all like country music, and he also visited my home in Santiago del Estro. He is a very good person, and I am very happy to see him go well now because he is upright and kind."

Terejo's career has been mostly in La Liga, and he has played against Messi at different clubs. When talking about his relationship with the other party, he said: "I was in Getafe scored a goal in her debut, and then Messi was a substitute when he was against Barcelona. We all came out to warm up during the break, and I saw him walking towards me, I started trembling, he called me to congratulate me on my debut and scored, he was incredibly approachable. "

Trejo also revealed a conversation with Messi before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar: "After every game, we talked for a while. At that time I told him that he would definitely win the World Cup. He was as kind as he had known him for a lifetime, and when I said this when I went back to the locker room, no one believed me, which made him even greater in my heart."
