The strongest winger

Chapter 847 Advertisement: SMS 'Appointment'

Aiello, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently recognized as the three strongest offensive players in world football, and the historical "grievances" between Aiello and Messi are clearer. From the World Youth Championships in youth to the Olympic Games of the National Olympic Team, and now to the World Cup, which is a gluttonous feast every four years, the teams led by the two entered the quarter-finals, and a few days later it was a battle between dragons and tigers.

Even if the overall strength of the two teams is greatly different, it does not affect the fans' high attention to this.

So Aiello and Messi's co-sponsor, Telefónica, sees a rare opportunity to expand their reach...

Founded in 1924, Telefónica is a large multinational telecommunications company in Spain. It is one of the largest fixed line and mobile telecommunications companies in the world. It ranks fourth in terms of user base and sixth in total market value. As a large multinational group, its advertising cooperation company moves very quickly. It took two hours to discuss a very attractive title——the battle of rivals.

The so-called battle of old enemies is a personal battle between Aiello and Messi.

The next day, that is, the day when the last two 1/8 finals were played.

值得一提的是昨天晚上的两场1/8决赛结果，荷兰2：1险胜斯洛伐克，巴西3：0完胜智利。

On this day, although most of the media focused on the two 1/8 finals that ended last night and the upcoming last two 1/8 finals, many media also paid attention to the press conference held by Telefónica. Their two absolute superstars Aiello and Messi will jointly shoot a very creative advertisement, which has attracted more and more attention from fans.

Especially after the V news was tweeted, the media paid more attention to the upcoming creative advertisement of Telefónica. Anyway, yesterday’s game has ended, and the remaining two games have not yet been played. It’s the same if you pay attention later.

So... there was no one interested in the second half of the World Cup.

However, in order not to affect the preparations for the quarter-finals of the two teams, the cooperative advertising company of the Spanish film company divided the shooting into two batches.

The first shot of the commercial is Messi editing a text message, to the effect: I will definitely beat you in the next quarter-finals of the World Cup!
Of course, there is a Telefonica logo at the end of the text message.

After the long-haired Macy finished editing, he sent a text message to Remark AI-9, which is the remark name of Ai Luo's mobile phone number.

Immediately afterwards, Aiello, who was training on another piece of turf, heard the notification sound of the text message on his mobile phone, kicked the football aside, and took out his mobile phone to see the "challenge letter" sent by Messi. In the camera, Ailuo sat on the turf, showing a charming smile, and replied to Messi's text message, to the effect: Haha, me too!I'd rather you only score goals in games! !

And that's it... Messi and Aiello texting back and forth 'dating'

Messi: My teammates are better, you will lose!

Ai Luo: Nonsense!nonsense!nonsense!My teammates are better! !

Messi: So...see you in four days! !

Finally, Ai Luo's reply text: OK, I can't wait! !

The closing screen of the entire advertisement is the huge logo of Telefónica and the purpose of serving...

When the commercial was first posted on the social networking site Twitter, as two of the three most popular football players in the world, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world.

Among the three national teams representing Asia that advanced to the top 1, except China defeated the United States to advance to the quarterfinals, the South Korean team has been eliminated by Uruguay, and the World Cup 8/[-] final between Japan and Paraguay has attracted the attention of the majority of Asian media. The head coach of the Japanese team, Takeshi Okada, expressed in the press conference before the match that the Chinese team can beat the United States, and Japan can also beat Paraguay.

The result... The score of 0:0 ran through the whole game, but it was a pity that they lost 5:3 in the penalty shootout.

The Iberian Peninsula Derby in the evening is the most concerned. The 1/8 final at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium also brought Li Ai to the scene to watch the game. He has many friends in the Spanish team, and the same is true in Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo is a competitor and a friend, and Carvalho is a club teammate and friend...

The game where both sides have friends happened to be held at the venue of the World Cup quarter-finals between China and Argentina, so it was natural to come to watch it.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in this game can be said to be his best performance in the World Cup, but helplessly because the team as a whole is different from the favorite Spanish team, he had to swallow the bitter fruit of the 1:2 loss. After the game, he shed tears of regret.

As one of the top three stars in today's football, but because of the overall strength of the team, he was blocked from the top eight. This feeling... Ai Luo can empathize with him.

Looking at the sad Cristiano Ronaldo, Ai Luo seemed to see himself three days later...

Perhaps, after being defeated by the powerful Argentina as a whole, it will be the same as Cristiano Ronaldo?

After the last two World Cup 1/8 finals, the World Cup finally ushered in a rare two-day truce.

Two days later, the quarter-finals of Germany VS Uruguay and Spain VS Paraguay will be played first, and China VS Argentina and Netherlands VS Brazil will be played three days later.

其中最受关注的1/4决赛必然是荷兰和巴西的比赛，但中国和阿根廷的1/4决赛也不容小觑，在西班牙电信公司的广告推动下，成为仅次于荷兰VS巴西之后的最受关注1/4决赛。

During the two days of the World Cup truce, the media who followed the World Cup focused on the eight teams, while the eight teams that advanced were desperately preparing for the game.

After all, it is a major match related to advancing to the semi-finals. No one dares to take it lightly. The only way to focus is on preparing for the battle.

Neither Aiello nor Messi had any contact after filming the Telefónica commercial, preoccupied with beating their rivals.

Argentine coach Maradona seems to be talking a lot, and the Argentina he led in the World Cup South American qualifiers still defeated Uruguay in the final round before becoming the fourth in the group to advance to the World Cup.

But after the start of the main match, Argentina quickly found the state of the game under his command. The group's three-game winning streak and the Netherlands became the two best-performing teams in the World Cup group stage.

In the 1/8 finals, they beat Mexico lightly. In the next 1/4 finals, they faced the recognized weakest Chinese team. That is to say, whether Argentina enters the semi-finals, whether it faces the Netherlands or Brazil, it has the possibility of winning. All Argentine media believe that Maradona, the king of the ball, will lead this team of kings to win the World Cup as the head coach...

The head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, put on a very low profile. He said that the Chinese team's entry into the top eight of the World Cup is only due to luck. Argentina is a world-class team and has the strength to win the World Cup. If there is no accident, it must be Argentina that advances to the semi-finals...

The Argentine media heard Gao Hongbo's high-profile praise for Argentina, not to mention how happy they were, but comforted Gao Hongbo, saying that it was not easy for the Chinese team to reach the quarter-finals, and maybe with luck, they could beat Argentina and enter the semi-finals...

The Chinese media is not dissatisfied with Gao Hongbo's remarks. Even though the Chinese team has a world-class star like Aiello, the gap in strength between them is very obvious. Cameroon defeated Argentina in the 1990 World Cup opener and Senegal defeated France in the 2002 World Cup opener.

However, even though there is a big gap between the overall strength of China and Argentina, it has not affected the confidence of Chinese fans in this game.

Compared with the Chinese tourists who came to South Africa for the first four games of the Chinese team, more people arrived before the quarter-finals of the World Cup between China and Argentina...

It's just that the fans who will be able to enter the stadium with tickets may be there. After all, things like tickets are priceless.

In the last two days of the Chinese team's preparation for the game, more than [-] Chinese came to South Africa. If it weren't for visa reasons, it is estimated that these numbers would have at least doubled.

Time flies, and it came to July 1nd in the blink of an eye. The first match was the quarter-finals of the World Cup at the Port Elizabeth Stadium.

The super state shown is completely different from the sluggish performance in the group stage.

It is worth mentioning that Klose scored a goal in this game, tying the legendary German star Gerd Müller's [-] World Cup goals, only one away from Ronaldo's [-] goals!
The next night was Spain and Paraguay. With David Villa's lore, Spain beat Paraguay 1-0, and David Villa also jumped to second place in the scorer list with five goals.

The winners of the two quarter-finals will also produce the final team to enter the World Cup finals: Germany VS Spain!
With the two South American teams being eliminated one after another, the other two South American teams, Argentina and Brazil, who will be in the quarter-finals on the second day, became the focus.

Of course, in the perception of all the media, it is only a matter of time before Argentina advances to the semi-finals. As for Brazil, if they want to enter the semi-finals, they must be ordered to pass the hurdle of the Netherlands.

The mainstream European media is naturally full of hope for the Netherlands, but they hope to reproduce the plot of the last World Cup final: the European Derby!

In this context, the "battle of old enemies" between the Chinese team and Argentina is coming quietly...

PS: Tonight at 07:30 the National Football World Cup qualifiers.
