Jakarta, CNNI Indonesia

Chef or chef Nusret Gokce nicknamed Salt Bae ignored Lionel Messi at the championship ceremony World Cup 2022.

In the video circulating on social media, the Turkish chef approaches Messi in a crowd of people during Argentina’s celebrations for winning the 2022 World Cup on Sunday (18/12). He even pulled Messi’s hand.

But Messi paid no attention to Salt Bae. The captain of the Argentina national team only had time to look at himself and then hug another person.

Salt Bae also wanted to keep the World Cup trophy which is held by Argentine defender Lissandro Martinez. However, when Salt Bae wanted to borrow the trophy, Martinez seemed to keep the trophy so it wouldn’t change hands.

Likewise, when Salt Bae wanted to hold the trophy which was held by Cristian Romero with his son. Romero took off his trophy so Salt Bae could take a picture with the World Cup trophy.

However, Salt Bae’s behavior has attracted the scorn of netizens. Because the famous chef has no relationship with the Argentine national team, which is fighting to win the title.

Salt Bae, who was not part of the Argentina squad, showed his moment by holding the World Cup trophy in various poses.

Although the World Cup trophy can only be touched by the players, official teams or top executives of the world champion countries. The people of Argentina themselves are not necessarily allowed to directly hold the trophy.

“The World Cup trophy can only be touched and lifted by certain people, including exes [pemain] world champions and national dignitaries,” the statement read fifa.
