Tomas Messi is slowly becoming one of the revelations of the America Cup. Lionel’s nephew offers little-known details on his social networks about the idol and world champion, who turns 37 this Monday, June 24. A few days ago, he had his uncle on the streaming delivery “Ready for anything”, in which he extracted several confessions from him, taking advantage of the closeness and trust; for example, the place in the country that he would like to visit (the Iguazú Falls) or that he is “team summer”.
In this context, Matías Messi’s son surprised with another pearl: he filmed and published his grandmother Celia preparing the mythical Neapolitan Milanese that make up the favorite food of the captain of the Argentine team.
The filming of just over a minute that first became a sensation on TikTok and was then replicated on other networks, shows Celia in action, while the song accompanies her in the background. Magnet by María Becerra. The Inter Miami forward’s mother is in charge of the preparation from start to finish. She cleans the square (cut not so thin so that it doesn’t dry out), then she dips them in the egg (the whole preparation looks well seasoned) and breads them just right.
At the same time prepare the tomato sauce, with onion. Then put the milanesas with oil in the oven. When they are golden brown, add a generous layer of sauce that completely covers them and the cheese. Once gratin, he served the dish with rice as a garnish. And with the brand new energy drink from the former Barcelona and PSG to finish the table.
It is a simple preparation: Neapolitan Milanese, very Argentinian. Beyond Celia’s hand, for the Flea, they have an irreplaceable condiment: that of a mother’s love, with a pinch of nostalgia.
Leo always stressed that the secret of his favorite food is in the sauce. “It must also be that they are the first ones I ate, and the ones I ate most often. I ate a lot, but I always choose those. Be careful, there were people who tried them and told me that I am right,” he was able to tell in an interview with Ole three years ago.
Well, from now on, cooking lovers with an observant spirit will be able to recreate them in their homes. Although some criticisms could also be read: the cultists of the fried Milanese highlighted this detail as a mole of Celia’s preparation, which Antonia, the cook of the Argentine team, seeks to replicate, with her touch, in the concentrations of the world champion team.
Tomás also managed to get some statements out of Celia about this upcoming Copa América, in which Argentina debuted with a 2-0 victory against Canada, and this Tuesday they will play again against Chile for the second round of Group A. “The nerves are always there. “But we go with faith and confidence,” said the attacker’s mother, who also expresses her affection in the kitchen.
