Nicolás Keenan's Message to Boyfriend Rob Jetten Makes Everyone Laugh: 'Your Excellency, Don't Come Anymore'

Argentina's men's field hockey team, known as Los Leones, secured a decisive 7-1 victory over New Zealand on Thursday, August 20. This win propelled them into the second phase of the World Cup, currently being held in the Netherlands and Belgium. Following the match, striker Nicolás Keenan, who scored one of the goals, made a lighthearted request to his partner, Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, during a television interview. Keenan humorously urged Jetten to stop attending his games, a comment that drew laughter from the audience. "I am very happy, honestly," Keenan told ESPN reporters Mechi Margalot and Sole García after the game. "We came with the objective of reaching the top, and for that, we have to get out of the group. We arrived at the last group game needing to win. We relaxed and went out to attack and control the ball, something that had been a bit more difficult for us in recent matches." When Margalot, a former player and journalist, pointed out that Jetten was absent on the day Keenan scored his first World Cup goal, the player seized the moment. "Don't come anymore!" Keenan exclaimed on television, maintaining a playful tone. "I tell him, Your Excellency, don't come anymore," he reiterated, adding a touch of mock formality to his request. Keenan's playful plea stems from a perceived pattern. Jetten had previously shown support by wearing an Argentine jersey during their 3-0 debut win against Japan and a Dutch-themed scarf during a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands. Keenan's humorous suggestion implies that perhaps Jetten's presence, despite its supportive intent, might coincide with less favorable outcomes for the team in certain matches.
