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,

Juan Román Riquelme comments on Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni

Juan Román Riquelme has commented on Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni.

Riquelme played alongside Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni with the Argentina national team at the 2006 World Cup. In 1997, alongside Lionel Scaloni, Walter Samuel and Pablo Aimar, who are all part of the current Argentina national team coaching staff, Riquelme won the U20 World Cup. Speaking in an interview with TyC Sports, Riquelme spoke about both Messi and Scaloni. Here is what he had to say:

“A coach is very important in a squad but sometimes we make up novels that aren’t so real. It’s easier for coaches with Messi than with other players because you have to give him fewer instructions and because they’re privileged to lead him.

“Scaloni is among the best in the history of our football. Grateful for the joys that he, his technical staff and the players brought us. It makes me very happy because we all grew up together, we have known each other since we were 14 years old. When we had Maradona, we thought there wouldn’t be another one and then we had Messi, who even makes us wonder if he’s even better.”

Ayala also spoke about the red card to Enzo Fernández:

“The referee hurried the first yellow card but noticed that Enzo’s gesture was not appropriate and cautioned him. The second one deserves a yellow card for the force with which he comes in. Nothing to say about the red card issue.”

“Congrats to Spain. When you face a team that has defeated you, you have to realize it’s an experience and a lesson. Spain played a World Cup playing some beautiful football.”

Roberto Ayala has spoken about the negative comments from people about the Argentina national team.

Ayala commented on the conspiracy theories surrounding the Argentina national team at the World Cup. In the same interview with Esports Migdia, Ayala spoke about the comments from people surrounding the Argentina national team. Here is what he had to say:

“I don’t know if it’s a campaign but there was a certain animosity that our national team wouldn’t do well, that we play a different kind of football. It’s the football we feel and play for our people.

“They keep looking for things to make everything about Argentina seem negative. There are countless gestures involving Spanish players that never get shown.

“Journalism needs to go back to being real journalism, the way it used to be. Not what we see now with streamers who interpret conversations and gestures.”
