World Cup in Qatar 2022
The 2022 World Cup was won by Argentina, won after a memorable final at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, with a thrilling epilogue that ended in penalties. 11-meter kicks that consecrated Messi and Scaloni’s team to climb to the highest roof in the world after waiting more than 35 years, since 1986. an albicelestial riot spread throughout Argentina and also on the field, after the end of the awards ceremony, which saw the joy of the players, the entire national delegation, family members and relatives. And some special guests like multi-star chef Salt Bae who managed to be immortalized with the trophy.
Images that immediately went viral on social media and which also caused some discussion about the presence of Nusret Gokçereal name of the famous chef of Turkish origin, known simply as Salt Bae, who has become an icon of world catering with his restaurants Nusr-Et obviously also present in Doha and frequented by many sports and football VIPs during the World Cup and beyond. The chef has skillfully recovered the extraordinary day dedicated to Argentina, reliving it step by step on his very popular social profiles (almost 50 million followers on Instagram) documenting everything with videos, stories and photographs.
He can be seen following the world final in the restricted parterre reserved for VIPs, guests of FIFA and the Emir, together with the stars of international football, including Ronaldinho, Cafu, Figo, Materazzi, Del Piero, Totti. Hence his presence on the field, on the field, right after the Awards Ceremony, rejoicing first with the fans, then with the players’ families and the entire Argentine delegation that goes crazy with joy to celebrate the world title. Not only that: Salt Bae he himself reconnected with several Argentine soccer players with the World Cupalso managing to hold it in their hands, cementing everything – once again – through social networks.
But why did his presence go so viral and did he get the media talking too? There are several reasons for this, but the most striking one is that Salt Bae immortalized with the trophy in hand is the demonstration of how much FIFA protocols jumped in those minutes of irrepressible joy. The original Cup, the same one that the winning team raises immediately after the final victory, is actually a trophy that is not handed over definitively, but the regulations oblige it to remain on FIFA notice boards and the winning team only have a faithful reproduction. . Also, very few can touch and access the trophy and Sal Bae shouldn’t be among them.
Even so, the chef was discreetly present on the pitch and managed to be immortalized several times with the Cup of Wonders. Also because the main customers of his multi-star restaurants have always been sportsmen and during the World Cup his name and his presence in Doha had already entered the non-football chronicles of the World Cup🇧🇷 He had caused discussion about the presence of many Brazilian players, along with several former Green and Gold legends, including Ronaldo, at Nurs-Et during the tournament, as had already happened with Spain. With Argentina in particular, Salt Bae made a particular deal.
In fact, in the hours leading up to the World Final, the Turkish chef he had made a pact with the president of the Argentine Football Federation, Claudio Tapia: if Scaloni’s team had lifted the trophy, the entire winning delegation would have been invited by their club. In a video shared on “TikTok”, the chef captured everything again: “If Argentina wins, the entire team will come here. If they win, you’ll be my guests. All for free”he promised in front of a handful of fans who recorded his words on video.
