While the euphoria grows, Mauricio Pochettino does not want to rush the presentation of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint Germain

.

The priority of the Argentine coach is that Leo get physically ready after a month of vacation, on the one hand, and on the other hand,

that he finishes getting to know his new teammates well before throwing him on the field.

Therefore, after a couple of days of a lot of bustle, this Wednesday he lowered the loads.

On Tuesday Leo had participated in the soccer exercises and was one of the members of the winning team of the training.

However, in the last one he could not repeat:

there were Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and Neymar, the only one who scored a double.

Thinking about the meeting this Friday, when PSG visit Brest from 4:00 p.m. for the third date of Ligue 1, Messi seems almost ruled out.

Some were encouraged to dream that the Rosario would have a few minutes from the substitute bench, but

the most likely is that the premiere will be postponed to Sunday 29, against Reims, also away from home.

It will be the date prior to the national team stoppage when Messi will fly to Argentina to play the triple round of Qualifiers against Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia.

For this reason,

before leaving French soil, Pochettino would give him his first minutes in the team,

something that the fans, and also Leo himself, look forward to with great enthusiasm.

The winning team on Wednesday, without Leo.

All sold out in Brest

Although from Paris everything indicates that Messi's debut will have to wait, in Brest, a city in northwestern France, the tickets are already sold out and the controversy over resale is growing.

The club that will receive the visit of Pochettino's team confirmed that the tickets that were put on sale for the Francis-Le Blé stadium, which has a capacity of 15 thousand spectators, were sold out.

The port city of the Brittany region is shaken by Friday's game and this led to an increase in the supply of tickets on internet sites.

According to the RMC radio portal, resale tickets are already published at an average of 150 euros when the most expensive ticket usually comes out 80 of the same currency.

In the same local press report, a group of Brest fans revealed that they received many messages "from people we have never heard of" with ticket requirements.

"Many real fans will not be in the stadium to the detriment of those who come once to see the billionaire team and those who will make the black market with the resale of tickets," was the comment of another Brest fan in response to the announcement of the sold-out club, according to the AFP news agency.
