Argentina comes on the ground of France. Literally. In a video posted on its social networks, the selection of world champions in Qatar last December makes fun – once again – of the unfortunate finalist. And what better than to attack the loser on his domain?
On December 18, Argentina and France played a legendary match in the World Cup final (3-3, 4-2 tab). The two double world champion nations were both battling for a third star. After 120 minutes of crazy intensity and breathless suspense, Leo Messi’s band won and lifted a new international trophy.
After this match, the Argentines distinguished themselves on many occasions to chamber the French. Six months later, the mockery is not over. On social networks, the official account of the Argentine selection posted a video of almost two minutes and… in French (subtitled in Spanish) to mock Didier Deschamps and his men.
“The third star is not for everyone, proclaims a chef in impeccable French. You need a chef who dominates the technique. You need an assistant in the kitchen who can withstand the maximum pressure, a menu with a lot of personality, which at times would make you want to eat it raw.”
During the video, scroll many images of the coach Lionel Scaloni (“a chef who dominates the technique”) but also of his players. Then come images of the final against France and in particular of a rough tackle on Eduardo Camavinga (“a very sharp knife”). “A winning dish. You have to add egg, a little hot red pepper and the intense atom of rosemary, all in julienne, and the heat to the maximum until it sticks to the walls.
A cooking recipe that does not rhyme with much and for good reason. Some of these culinary terms are literal translations of player names. Thus, we see Cristian Romero (rosemary), Julian Alvarez (julienne) or even Leandro Paredes (walls).
“And you know how we end up cooking it? In the bain-marie, exclaims chief on images of the goal… of Angel di Maria. You take it out, always with a glove handy in case the potatoes burn, adds the cook referring to the penalty shootout. A dish that has the secret ingredient, the one that drives others crazy. And you hear: Thank you, thank you (Messi, Messi).”
“The taste of the third star is incomparable, promises the chef, before concluding. How about a toast to six months? The best World Cup and champagne football.” Reigning world champions, the Argentinians also remain champions of inelegance.
