As all the world knows, Edgardo Bauza visited Barcelona almost in his first act like seleccionador to treat to achieve the turn of the two big heavy weights of the team: Javier Mascherano and Leo Messi. Both had announced his indefinite withdrawal of the combined albiceleste after going back to fall, in the penaltis, in front of Chile in the final of the Glass America 2016. 

Bauza, that carried little time like technician of Argentina after the renunciation of "Tata" Martino, explained with all detail how was this talk with the two cracks of the FC Barcelona. It does it in an interview for "Olé" in which it also reveals a "madness" that would have done if Messi had said him that no from the beginning.

"We had filmed it the talk – relamió the Patón Bauza-. Because we begin to chat of football, of the final with Chile in USA and were two hours speaking. Never we speak of the renunciation. Never. Then I say him: 'Uh, what late that it did , have to go … Only say them that tomorrow I present the list and you two are summoned'. Then Messi began to crap of laugh and looked it to Mascherano. 'And now what do?', it asked Leo. 'And you do not say at all, no tenés that say at all, I summon you and smart', answered him. Like this it was".

"But we do not speak of the subject. Afterwards, what did the father was to take out a communiqué… I when I began to speak already darse that Messi was inside because it saw it involved. It knows everything, how plays this and the another", sustained.

The "madness" of Bauza for the himself of Messi

Edgardo Bauza recognises absolute fan of Central Rosary, the another team of the hometown of Leo Messi and enemy number one of his adored Newell's. Therefore, what explains Bauza that would have done if Messi had said that it is not really loable. "It had remained me a day more in Barcelona, ja. And it said him: I put Me the T-shirt of Newell's and take me out a photo!", it concluded between laughs.
