When I was literally at zero, I went to Buenos Aires in 2007. I spoke neither Spanish nor English. I only had $500 in my pocket. I learned something different when it comes to meat gastronomy and catering. I cheer Argentina for everything they learned.

I spoke to the president of the Argentine FA when he came here and he promised me that if the Albiceleste became world champions he would bring the whole team here to celebrate. “I’m bringing the whole team here, Nusret,” he told me. I told him if he does it will be a pleasure for Messi and his team-mates.”
