Argentina had already taken off the heavy backpack of the match against Mexico and had just beaten Poland, bathed in confidence, to seal its ticket to the round of 16 of the World Cup. The controversy over Wojciech Szczesny's penalty against Lionel Messi, which ultimately failed; Alexis Mac Allister's goal, which was the kick-off to his brilliant World Cup victory; the presence of Tini Stoessel, then partner of Rodrigo De Paul, who already seemed to be a cabal; and the harangue of a fiery Gabriel Omar Batistuta -among the public- in the face of what was to come, were pearls of the chronicle of that night. In the midst of the Albiceleste celebrations, the promise of a fan would be recorded...

Mac Allister and Julián Álvarez brought the Poles to their knees, who had arrived undefeated in Group C that Wednesday, November 30, 2022. The boys captained by Robert Lewandowski, who had a brush with Messi on the field, almost begged the Argentines not to attack more because one more goal against them would eliminate them from the Cup (the same if Mexico scored a goal more against Saudi Arabia). Szczesny, at the end, was notified of the Mexicans' result and notified his teammates. After the final whistle, the classification of both was confirmed and stadium 974, the one that was built with containers, was a light blue and white party.

The chants of the South American crowd are thunderous and echo through the metal structure of the containers that line the perimeter of the field. They jump, harangue, rave.

A supporter draws attention because he is wearing a National Team shirt that dates back to the mid-90s. It is an alternative, the blue one with black diamonds, and on his back he has the number 18 and the last name Scaloni.

“I don't include this one, it's from the personal museum,” warns El Chispa, who is actually called Tomás Calvo, before the Infobae camera. But almost in unison he shares a condition to get rid of this treasure that he keeps in a personal altar along with hundreds of other t-shirts. “If what we already know has to happen happens, I will hand the shirt to the coach,” is the promise that this personal friend of Germán Pezzella dares to make, who probably had blind faith in the Scaloneta for knowing the cuisine. of concentration.

El Chispa had been collecting retro t-shirts for years. Fate wanted this little pearl that Scaloni used during his youth Under 20 days in Malaysia 1997 to reach his hands, when he was world champion as a soccer player. As the knockout stages progressed, Australia, the Netherlands and Croatia, he warmed to the idea of releasing one of the most valued relics from his personal museum. But the oath had already been taken and nothing was going to give him more happiness than seeing Argentina world champion in Doha.

After the feat against France in Lusail, a side door was opened where family and friends could go down to the playing field to celebrate en masse. Tomás, along with Pezzella's family and other friends, entered the grass prepared to carry out what he had promised. What he never knew is that DT himself was actually not going to accept the offering without giving him anything in return.
