The touching party from Buenos Aires for the third Argentine championship – 03/25/2023 – Juca Kfouri

Argentina has been the envy of us Brazilians.

Catholics envy the Pope, as well as being a very nice figure, truly Christian, one of those in the Church that made the preferential option for the poor.

Yes, there are many Brazilians who, on the other side, call him a communist. Among the Faria Limers there are a lot of them.

Moviegoers envy the brothers for films like “Argentina, 1985”, nominated for the Oscar for foreign films and a class in cinema and history, when telling why the Argentine military will never again think about staging a coup d’état. Those who gave were, contrary to what happened here, exemplarily punished. Impossible to think of a January 8th in Buenos Aires as we live in Brasilia.

It is true that we have no reason to envy the beauty of tango because our music is on another level, as well as dulce de leche, meat, literature, etc. Just enjoy them as they deserve.

Just like football, a school as good as ours, from Alfredo Di Stéfano, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi.

We still have two more World Cups besides King Pelé, Mané Garrincha, Romário, the Ronaldos, so many.

The party held at the renovated Monumental de Núñez, now with a capacity of 83,000, the largest in South America, to host the first game of the champions in Qatar, was indeed enviable.

In addition to being very cool to see how SporTV treated the event, not skimping on praise for our main rivals.

Recognizing the feat of the third championship, Messi’s excellence and genius, does justice to the epic lived in the 2022 World Cup and means a step forward to overcome the phrase of Argentine sociologist Pablo Alabarces, from the University of Buenos Aires: “Brazilians love to hate Argentines, while Argentines hate to love Brazilians”.

We will continue to fight on the pitches of Planeta Bola and it will be even better if each one looks with the respect due to each other.

And look at the rare reader and the rare reader that there was a moment in the game, against Panama’s B team, more famous for the channel than for football, capable of transforming envy into spite: the game reached the 60th minute and 80,000 fans did not they had not once called for a goal, because Messi knocked free-kicks against the beams, because the Panamanian goalkeeper was happy to play the role of spoilsport, and Mendoza wine was half an hour away from becoming sangria.

Then came the breakthrough goal in ET’s second kick, returned by the crossbar for Almada to open the scoring and, ten minutes later, another to crown the occasion, by Messi, in a new free kick, to celebrate the 800th goal of his impeccable career .

How little envy is nonsense, after the game, Messi gave a speech, coach Lionel Scaloni gave a speech, all the players showed up with their wives, daughters and sons, replicas of the cup in their hands and went around the Olympics — they did, in short, everything they had right.

A commemoration incomparably more touching than that of the Brazilian tri in 1970, and there the explanation is simple: how we Brazilians, Argentines live, with all the difficulties faced after so-called neoliberal governments, in full democracy.

It is the lightness of the air of freedom that allows people to celebrate without fear of being happy.

Viva Francisco, Ricardo Darín, Carlos Gardel, Astor Piazzolla, Di Stéfano, Maradona and Messi.

And the dulce de leche!
