Qatar 2022 World Cup: the unusual chat and investment proposal between an Argentine and an Arab sheikh

Jany Vergaraa resident of the Valentina Sur neighborhood in the city of Neuquén, experienced a strange situation just hours after arriving in Doha to be part of the Argentina national team’s world dream in Qatar.

While walking along the beaches of one of the cities of the World Cup, the Argentine was intercepted by two men in tunics who invited him to have tea and chat with an Arab sheikh who admires Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi.

After passing the fences and the security check, the Argentine entered a luxurious tent where a sheik was waiting for him to talk about the reason that prompted him to travel more than 13,000 kilometers from Neuquén: the Argentine national team.

With tea and juice to entertain his guest, the Qatari waited in his luxury tent for Jany Vergara, who sells cars in Argentina and is part of a group supporting young athletes and teens with addiction problems.

Vergara and his friends sat down in some armchairs and started talking about football with the sheik, as they began to notice that fans from other countries were flocking behind the security fences to closely observe what was happening in that bunker on the beach, according to what was published by Negro Newspaper.

With the help of several men who assisted the sheikh and two boys from Buenos Aires who joined the conversation, language ceased to be an impossible barrier to overcome. Between football anecdotes and memories, Jany tried to explain through references in which part of Argentina the province in which she lives is located.

Against this background, the Argentine said he was from the land of Vaca Muerta and made a spontaneous recommendation: “You have to invest there!”

“You have to invest in Vaca Muerta. Petroleum!“, launched the Argentine in what was a direct recommendation to his interlocutor.

At the end of the chat, Vergara posed next to the sheik with the flag of Valentina Sur while the small group of Argentines revved up their engines singing some of the camp’s songs that raise so much as to attract the attention of the Arabs.
