Beatriz is from Mendoza, she has been in the United States for 28 years and is married to Jorge, an anesthesiologist who works at New York University, a place that is at the forefront of medicine worldwide and has participated in highly complex operations, such as for example face transplant. She, Beatriz, is a big soccer fan and has found a very particular way to experience the preview of this Tuesday’s game at Metlife in New Jersey. “I’m going to sell everything, hats, caps, flags… I do it out of pleasure and not out of necessity. I love seeing how the preview is put together and how Argentines experience football from so early on. The stadium will open at 4 in the afternoon, but I will go a little earlier because I want to see all that, which will be spectacular,” says Beatriz.
“All Argentines are going to carry light blue and white balloons to welcome the players when they enter the field,” he points out as a preview of what the reception will be like in this New Jersey stadium where the Argentine team lost that game. final of 2016 in the Copa América of the centenary against Chile, which was directed by Juan Antonio Pizzi from Santa Fe.
“The hats cost 30 dollars, the hats are 40 because they are much bigger, I will wear one-dollar flags, aprons with the figure of Messi, rosettes, keychains, a little bit of everything,” says the woman from Mendoza.
Furthermore, he gets emotional when he remembers the final in Qatar. “I saw that final in New York and I went downtown with my daughters to celebrate. It was all very emotional for us, so far from our land,” concludes Beatriz, who like all the Argentines we meet never stops getting emotional when they talk about their land, even if they have chosen another to live and progress.
