Messi will play against Japan for 200,000 dollars

The best player in the world last year Lionel Messi arrived in Tokyo for the control of the Argentine national team against Japan. Barcelona striker was incorporated in Argentina, although treated ankle injury and his participation is questionable. Messi appeared on the Tokyo airport with a white shirt and stubble and gave autographs for fans expecting it.

Despite his injury, is expected Messi to play in control, as Argentine Federation will receive a 200,000 dollar bonus if the star appears on the pitch. Because of the name of Messiah all 60 000 tickets for the match were sold in one day. "If Messi does not play, will pay 200 thousand dollars less than the Argentine federation," said the president of Japan's governing Yundzhi Ogura. The match will be the debut for new coach Alberto Zaccheroni Japan.
