Gerardo Salorio, former fitness coach of the Argentina national team, revealed the gestures Lionel Messi had with the workers at the Argentina national team training ground after receiving the prize for winning the Qatar World Cup:

“He distributed it in equal parts among all the members of the training ground, exactly the same, the woman who cleaned, the woman who cooked. Leo did even more things. If the money wasn’t enough for the apartment, it was to get almost to the apartment”.

“When the AFA was under intervention, the employees told Messi that they had not been paid for three months. Leo made some calls and the money appeared within a few hours”, the Argentine concluded.
