It was 10 days ago, just before 3am on a Thursday morning, when the gunshots rang out in Rosario. The crackle of bullets has become a depressingly familiar soundtrack in Argentina’s second city. What made this incident different was the target: a Unico supermarket in the west of the city, one of a chain owned by José Roccuzzo, the father-in-law of Lionel Messi. And just to underline that this was no random attack, there was a note left along with the 14 bullet holes in the shop front. It was simple and chilling: “Messi, we are waiting for you.” Messi, who…
