Chapter 847: No Time to Explain, Enter the Promotion Zone! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

【Argentina National Radio】

【Maria Fernando】

"Dear audience friends, I am now outside the Lusail Stadium."

"And now, waiting with me for the national team players to come out is this circle behind me, so many fans here!"

"So the match for the national football team (here referring to the Argentina national team) has already ended. It is truly regrettable that the national team did not achieve a result satisfactory to everyone, but we can see that our Argentina national team put forth full effort in today's match."

Maria spoke thus: "We have 20,000 on site—well, it should be said, over 20,000 Argentina fans here, who have stayed by the side of the national team, staying by the side of our Blue-and-White Army..."

"Did they deserve us?!"

"..."

Maria, holding the microphone, was startled as a fan wearing a blue-and-white Adidas jersey suddenly barged into the frame: "Did they deserve us? Refund! Refund! Garbage Argentina, go fuck yourself, refund!"

"... Some of our fans on site are agitated; although our national team's performance in this match..."

"Refund!"

The fan directly snatched the microphone away: "I flew here from Buenos Aires, with a layover in Hong Kong in between; do you know how much I spent on air tickets, how much I spent to buy a ticket for the first match?"

"And then, what did I see?"

"Garbage! Garbage! Argentina is just garbage!!!"

Dozens of Argentine uncles surrounding the reporter left her terrified and frozen in the middle: "But our players' performance was still..."

"Fuck the performance! Lautaro! What the hell is Lautaro doing?"

A fan with blue-and-white spray paint on his face pushed forward: "Did Lautaro have any effect up front? Is he a spy sent by the opponent? We all said to pass to Messi, so why did he insist on dribbling and shooting alone? Does he even understand how to shoot?"

"..."

"And those idiotic midfielders of ours!"

"Fan, please remain rational..."

"I can't be rational anymore!"

The reporter was startled and took a step back.

She tried to take the microphone back but failed: "What exactly are Enzo and Paredes playing at?"

"Wow!"

The fan holding the microphone named two Argentine midfielders, immediately triggering agreement from the onlookers nearby.

"Our midfield is just like fucking toys for ty; we lose every confrontation, can't win the ball, and can't complete passes."

"Failing against ty is one thing, but we can't even handle those other Chinese players."

"Fuck, those Chinese defenders aren't even worth 1 million euros combined, yet we lost!"

"Wow!!!"

The scene suddenly boiled over; the face of the fan speaking was twisted with rage.

"If I had known we couldn't even beat China, I should have entered the country during my layover in Hong Kong to watch the CSL! (Note: The fan's statement here is incorrect; the CSL cannot be watched in Hong Kong)"

"Refund!"

"Refund!"

Sigh, as today's on-site reporter, Maria felt utterly helpless amidst the fans, unable to get a word in edgewise.

The temper of South American fans is truly volatile, one more irritable than the next; if she said anything they disliked, it might well spark another riot.

"There are still two matches ahead..."

"It's already over!"

"Lose to China, lose to Germany, after losing to Germany we'll lose to Wales, and we'll go straight home!"

"Argentina is finished!"

"Scaloni, go lick ty's ass!"

For Argentina fans, coming to Qatar to watch the World Cup is absolutely not an easy matter.

Most fans are ordinary people; what they brought might be savings accumulated over several months or even an entire year.

You can imagine spending a year's savings to fly to Qatar to watch the World Cup, only to watch helplessly as your own players are ravaged like toys by the opponent's attacking midfielder.

Let alone Argentina fans; if you brought fans from other countries, they would want a refund too.

It's simply not worth it!

What happened to the promise that five golden balls are greater than four golden balls? Why is it that only Tang Ye gets to play with toys?

Leo Messi, where exactly are you?

Were you scared shitless by Atlas?

Ole: Scaloni solemnly apologizes in post-match interview; the scene is filled with boos.

Manchester Evening News front-page headline: Two shots, one assist; ty helps China pull off an upset victory over Argentina; the Manchester United captain wins both of his World Cup opening matches in his career.

Goal. com: Messi apologizes to Argentina fans for the loss, stating that there is "still hope of advancing" in the remaining two matches.

Alpha Flying Douyin reposts Tang Ye's celebration move: Even we got a ride on Tang Tang Qiuwang's traffic wave; four elements united, Atlas Heaven and Earth Slash!

You might think the biggest winner after today's match is the Chinese team, but actually, it is not.

Armor Hero is the real biggest winner.

Before the match began, the official Douyin account of the production company Alpha Flying had 800,000 followers; after the match ended, it surged directly to 5 million.

In the era of traffic, information updates very quickly; especially for Douyin in 2022, going viral can sometimes happen in just a few minutes.

Alpha Flying is also quite cunning; upon discovering their follower count had risen to 5 million, they immediately began editing clips of Tang Ye's relevant celebration moves from past matches, such as the Flame Dragon Armor and the Emperor Armor, aiming to break through 10 million followers before the group stage ends.

Thanks to my ggbond for sending the super traffic package!

So, who is the biggest loser?

Is it Argentina?

Actually, no.

The biggest loser is the General Administration of Radio and Television.

They had thought that possessing the GG Bond IP, their cartoon would surely be the hottest during the World Cup.

But the result!

They were actually overtaken by Armor Hero!

GG Bond, don't you forget about us!

We were the ones who supported you from the very beginning!

Douyin Cartoon Search Rankings:

No. 1: Armor Hero Lava.

No. 2: GG Bond: Football Hero.

No. 3: GG Bond: Football Hero 2 – Braving the Five Major Leagues.

No. 4: Armor Hero Emperor.

No. 5: GG Bond: Football Hero 3 – Legend of the National Team (Trailer).

Facts prove that laziness comes at a price.

If only the General Administration of Radio and Television had produced the third installment of "Football Hero" a month earlier, would they have lost to Armor Hero?

Bear the consequences of your own mistakes.

Even the Master cannot save you!

Go repent!

CCTV-1 News: At 6:00 PM Beijing Time on November 22, the FIFA Qatar World Cup group stage matches...

CCTV Reporter: In the first round of the group stage, the Chinese Men's National Football Team successfully reversed the game against the Argentine Men's National Football Team with a score of 3:2, creating a miracle worthy of being recorded in history. On-site experts stated that this match is very likely the biggest "upset" of this World Cup. In a post-match interview, Tang Ye, the team captain and a deputy to the National People's Congress, stated, "The Chinese team has a chance to advance to the knockout stage again."

The match between Wales and Germany has not yet begun; currently, relying on the three points gained from defeating Argentina, the Chinese team ranks first in Group C.

After all, there are three matches in the group stage, so Escrivá was not in a hurry to celebrate; instead, upon returning to the hotel, he asked the players to calm down.

But shortly after returning to the hotel, the Chinese team players quickly discovered a problem: no matter how they tried, they could not fall asleep.

This was at least true for Tang Ye; the Chinese team captain lay on the sofa scrolling through Check Dongqiu Di for half an hour, then scrolled through Douyin for two hours, and was finally forced to take sleeping pills.

What a powerful trouble!

Winning an upset makes it impossible to sleep!
