The AFA made the decision to go out onto the field with jackets that bear the name of each of the players in Chinese.
The fury experienced by the Chinese people, especially in Beijing, since the arrival of the Argentine National Team squad is total. And if one more mime was missing to go even more crazy with the Scaleneta, the players took to the pitch to face Australia at the Workers’ Stadium with a special detail.
Starters and substitutes have their name written in Chinese on their shirts. The idolatry generated by Lionel Messi in Asian lands overflowed when the fans saw the characters of the Asian giant above the number “10”, just like the rest of the footballers.

In addition, as will happen for the next four years, the shirt also has the luxury of wearing the world champion patch, something that also happened on the March tour of Argentina.
Argentina started with Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Christian Rosemary, Nicholas Otamendi, Marcos Acuña; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister; Angel Di Maria, Lionel Messi and Nicolas Gonzalez.
