Dec. 9 – The ritual interview in the middle of the court and the instant and fast exit as if he was Damian Martinez, goalkeeper of the Albiceleste. Then, he threw a towel and ran to the locker room, almost apologizing for running away so quickly. How can you not understand Bela? He has just beaten in two sets (6-3, 6-4) the Spanish pair Sanchez-Semmler but, you know, there’s Argentina already on the court playing the World Cup quarterfinal against the Netherlands. Bela can’t wait to stay in front of Messi, divided only by the hotel’s big TV screen, where he will have to comfort Lucas Bergamini, so disappointed about the elimination of the Brazilian National team. Before running away, Belasteguin threw a ball to the stands and greeted his audience warmly. He also replied with an amused grimace when a man shouted from the stands: “Bela, I love you!”. World Cup quarterfinal aside, Bela is already preparing for tomorrow’s semifinal in the most beautiful, eagerly awaited match, the most wanted by the Allianz crowd. He and his teammate Coello will play against two more idols of the crowd, Ale Galan and Juan Lebron, the number one in the world rankings. First, however, a quick goodbye: “Fantastic atmosphere to play with a really warm crowd, I am satisfied with our performance but we are already focused on tomorrow’s semifinal” said Bela cuddling an increasingly efficient Coello, before rushing off for the long-distance virtual date with his friend Leo Messi.
