The atmosphere remains excellent between Ale Galán et Fede Chingotto And this time, their complicity once again provided a rather funny scene on the sidelines of the circuit.
In a video shared by the FIP about the tournament, Galán amused himself by tricking his partner with a fake advertisement… involving Lionel Messi .
Messi or rest? Chingotto doesn't even think about it.
It all started with a phone call between the two players. Their match is scheduled very early the next day So, logically, it's time to rest.
But Galán decides to test his teammate:
“Compa, sorry to bother you… Adidas texted me, Messi is here. Do you want to play a match with him?”
A completely improbable proposition… but one that hits the mark.
Without hesitating for a second, Chingotto replied:
“Me, with great pleasure.”
In other words, Rest before a match? Forgotten. .
Playing with Messi? Absolute priority.
Galán cracks, Chingotto rushes
Once the call is over, Galán bursts out laughing unable to maintain a straight face any longer.
The scene is simple, but it perfectly illustrates the complicity between the two players which work just as well off the track as on it.
When Messi comes first
It must be said that with Messi in the equation It's difficult to remain rational.
Even with an important match to play the following morning, Chingotto didn't think for a second .
And honestly… in his place, many would have done the same.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
