Eran Zahavi left the Israel national team about two months ago because the professional manager Yossi Banyon refused his request to be alone in the room, the striker's offer to finance the private room from his own pocket was also met with refusal and he apparently ended his career in the Israel national team under rather strange and different circumstances, but not for the first time we learn that he Not the only one who demands and gets to sleep alone.

This evening (Thursday) it was published in the "Mail Online" that the Argentina team gave up luxury hotels and instead preferred to stay in student dormitories in Qatar, so that the players and the team could enjoy open spaces and use them during the World Cup to hold traditional barbecue meals that will drive them in an attempt to win the World Cup for the first time since 1986.

The Argentinians preferred to keep the tradition and hold asado evenings instead of sleeping in closed, prestigious and luxurious complexes, to the delight of the players who of course will benefit from a private chef who came with them to Qatar and will accompany them throughout the competition, but at the same time as the publication in the Kingdom, the Argentinian "Ola" revealed the first photos of that student dormitory that was specially designed for The arrival of the Albiceleste and among the photos the players' rooms were also revealed - and this is how the media discovered that Lionel Messi slept alone for the first time in a major FIFA tournament.

If we return to our football for a moment, the reasons are almost identical to those of Zahavi who was removed from the squad.

Meanwhile, and no less importantly, the Argentine national team announced this evening a change in its squad for the World Cup: Nicolás González, the Fiorentina midfielder who was injured, was removed from Lionel Scalloni's squad out of necessity and Angel Correa from Atlético Madrid was called in his place.
