A message: Changes to Mundo Albiceleste, reduced ads, new design

1

Hello everyone,

Since the start of the new year, we have been experimenting with different ads and locations across the Mundo Albiceleste website. And if we are being completely honest, it was time for a permanent change.

We have also been hearing and reading all of your feedbacks and are happy to announce what we believe are significant changes. The number of ads on the website have been reduced (we believe significantly) and ultimately, while the ads do help in keeping up with the maintenance of the website, we still want every one to enjoy viewing and reading the content.

Mundo Albiceleste was built by Argentina fans and for Argentina fans, which is why we believe that should remain the priority and will remain the priority.

Should you have any comments or suggestions, please, do let us know in the comments below or email us at mundoalbiceleste10@gmail.com. Our aim is to continue to improve and to provide more content (which we will continue to be doing and will be introducing new sections throughout the year) than we ever have before. And to aim for quality over quantity.

As always, your feedback is strongly appreciated. Mundo Albiceleste has been around since 2006 and we would not be where we are without the Mundo Albiceleste family.

Thank you,

Lionel Messi, Leandro Paredes and the Argentina national team won 1-0 against Brazil at the 2021 Copa America and Neymar was seen speaking with them after Brazil’s loss. In an interview with CONMEBOL, here is what he had to say:

“It brings me two different feelings. The first is bad, because it was a final in which lost against Argentina and the second is that think I football goes way beyond that. It goes beyond this rivalry. Messi and Paredes are phenomenal guys off the pitch, even though they’re Argentines who are natural rivals of Brazil.

“We became friends, and after the match ended, I’d already cried. I’d already been sad. Then I found them there on the steps of the Maracanã and we just stayed there talking about our stories at PSG, about the moment we were living, about the pandemic, in short, about various things.

“And we found a bit of happiness in the chaos of all that. So football goes beyond this rivalry. We do everything, but after the match ends there, we’re all human beings, regardless of the shirt you wear regardless of the country you’re from. We’re all human beings, we all have feelings.

“So this photo says it all. They’re two guys who were there living their peaks with their national teams, and they’re the two main names of their national team. Messi is number one in football. So for me, seeing this photo means a lot.

“I think it shows two guys who fought for the title in the final, gave 100% and after the match we managed to find a moment of happiness. Both for the guy who was the champion and for the guy who was defeated. So this means a lot, it’s our friendship.”
