The fans of the Argentina national team received this Monday the FIFA The Best award for the best fans in the world for their participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The award was received by Argentine Carlos Pascual, better known as “El Tula”, who has accompanied the Albiceleste team with their hype since the 1974 World Cup in Germany.
The same drum that rumbled “el tula” in Qatar 22 also sounded in Paris, where The Best gala was held.
“The satisfaction that Argentina gave me is priceless. In the three times we were champions I was. But now we have the best in the world Messi, the best coach Scaloni and ‘Dibu’. It’s exciting,” said Carlos Pascual.
Before beating his drum, Pascual also recognized the greatness of the fans of other countries: “to all the fans of the world, the passion of the world is impressive, that of the Argentines too.”
“I come to represent the thousands of fans we cheered on in Qatar and the millions who were celebrating around the world. Argentina was a bit sad and the team brought immense joy to the people,” he added.
The Argentine fans prevailed over the Japanese, due to their attitude of cleaning the stands at the end of each game and the attitude of Saudi Abdulla Alsulmi, who for 55 days crossed the desert of his country to watch the matches of his team in Qatar.
