“We wanted to see the game again and it did not happen: we lost seeing that, the post-game Hospitality, and they took us to a room to testify. Then we had a video call with a prosecutor from Qatar. The process was closed on the recommendation of the embassy, ​​so as not to have more complications, ”he said.

Aguirre specified that he received immediate help from officials of the Argentine Embassy in Qatar and the Ministry of Security. “When you travel so many kilometers, he pays a lot of money and you miss the show, creates a major quarrel”, expressed Aguirre, who is experiencing his fourth World Cup.

And continued: “I’m going to make a claim to FIFA, I don’t know what answers I’ll get. Not only because of what happened on the pitch, but because of what we experience outside. Yesterday’s entry was terrible, a very bad organization. A slowness in attention. In the Hospitality area as well”.

Father and son arrived in Doha on Sunday, November 20, and They plan to stay until the Round of 16. “Always with the possibility that if that stage passes we can get tickets for the following games,” he said.
