he had a decent chance. messi is always nice to kids.
Now I'm wondering if there's a protocol for these things when the opposition has a world class player, not just Messi level but anyone clearly a notch above everyone else out there and everyone would leap at a chance to trade jerseys. Is it a free for all and the first guy with an opportunity after the game just moves in? Do they discuss it in advance, and is there some sort of ROFR by seniority or something?
There was an article in the athletic about it. Messi, basically, tends to trade with whichever Argentinian player is on the opposing roster, and that he sometimes prearranges it. But that he almost always gives his shirt away.
Jasson's parents, or at least one of them, are from Argentina, so maybe he thought he had an edge that way
You miss all the jersey swap requests that you don't make.
