Il Ombu is a restaurant that defines itself as an Italian trattoria.
It is located in Patricios Park.
And on Sunday night it was the scene of a very particular dinner, shared between important figures of Argentine soccer.
At a long table, the bottom of which had a painting of an Italian landscape, three world champions sat down:
Rodrigo De Paul, Thiago Almada and Angel Correa
.
The last two are ahead in the photo, while the midfielder, in a black shirt and white cap, was next to the president of the AFA,
Claudio Chiqui Tapi
, dressed in a light-colored sweater.
They weren't the only diners.
There were also representatives with important surnames.
Agustín Jiménez
, manager of the three footballers, was at De Paul's side.
And in front of him was
Christian Bragarnik
, an empowered businessman, owner of Elche in Spain and who manages the careers of many Argentine soccer players, although in the last call there was only one, who now appeared on the radar of La Scaloneta and that is Lautaro Blanco.
Between
Jiménez and Almada
, receiving a plate from a waiter and wearing a blue shirt with the three stripes, was a Tapia bodyguard.
And at the bottom of the table, another close collaborator of Chiqui.
And in front of him, a close friend of the Jiménez, who works with them.
As has been the case in recent times, when the word began to spread that the world champions would dine at the exclusive trattoria, dozens of fans gathered outside the venue to get a closer look at the players.
At the time of the photo, they were just receiving the pasta dishes they ate.
And the drinks were diverse: there were waters, soft drinks, wines and beer.
And after dessert, a singer sang "Muchachos" in a tango version.
The dinner was given in the context of a day off for the Argentine squad, which trained this Monday at Ezeiza and then traveled to Paraguay -first- to participate in a Conmebol tribute and then to Santiago del Estero, where this Tuesday they will play a friendly against Curaçao, within the framework of the continuity of the celebration for obtaining the world cup.
The dinner was organized by Agustín and Ignacio Jiménez, sons of Racing vice president Miguel Jiménez
, who are the owners of the restaurant where this particular meeting took place on Sunday night in Parque Patricios.
