[Football] Bad Boy Batty

After Batistuta's rainbow butt appeared in Qatar, public opinion exploded again.

The next day, he received a series of messages from his friends before he woke up. He pushed the quilt onto Neymar next to him in a daze, then squinted his eyes to check his phone.

Qiao Lin: (Picture-screenshot of Rainbow Underpants)
Qiao Lin: I didn’t expect you to have such a funny heart
Qiao Lin: After becoming famous for your face and your naughty pictures, you are now famous for your butt. My friend
Qiao Lin: You are really popular. I can see you everywhere now.
Qiao Lin: But because of you, I gained more than 2000 million followers on the Internet
Qiao Lin: Please continue to make trouble, don't stop
hiss--

The key words include "explosive popularity" and "out of the circle".

Batistuta scratched his hair and stared at the message on the screen and spoke. He vaguely remembered that Qiao Lin had sent him such a message during the last World Cup.

It seemed like it was the morning after they took revenge on Germany. Before that, he had just had a crazy and happy time with someone until the early morning. When he saw the news that he had become famous, he was completely stunned.

Even the surrounding situations were similar, same morning, same waking up, and same Neymar.

But now Batty can accept the reality calmly.

He, the king of Manchester City, captain of the Brazilian team, holder of the Premier League Golden Boot record, holder of the Champions League goal record, the youngest winner of the World Footballer of the Year, Manchester United killer, holder of the Premier League striker red card record, he is born so dazzling, the spotlight follows him wherever he goes, and he is always at the forefront of public opinion.

If he is not popular, who will be popular?

"...Uh, why don't you sleep?" Neymar, who realized that the person in his arms had become a quilt, rubbed his eyes and propped up his upper body. "I clearly remember that you were the first one who couldn't hold on and said you didn't want to sleep last night."

Oh my god, listening to this conversation, the sense of déjà vu is even stronger.

"No more sleep." Barty rolled his eyes slightly, then pulled on a shirt and jumped out of bed, stretching his shoulders. "You should get up too, Ney. We agreed to get your hair done today. You don't want to continue the rest of the game with these unremarkable curls."

Neymar:!

No characteristics?
Everything is fine, but hair is not! Especially when Barty says that she has no characteristics, it is even worse!

Neymar woke up in almost an instant. He threw away the quilt, jumped off the bed, and trotted to the bathroom with Batistuta.

When he went in, Batty was already brushing his teeth.

The little king didn't look very sober yet. He supported himself on the sink with one hand, his head tilted, and he mechanically brushed his teeth while looking at the screen of his mobile phone placed flat on the sink. The collar of his sweatshirt slipped off his shoulders, and the tattoos on his collarbone and neck were clearly visible. Neymar still remembered what he did in there last night.

"——Why are you looking at me?" Barty raised his hand and wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth. "Come and clean up when you wake up. I'll take a shower right away. Everything here is yours."

But it was obvious that Neymar wanted to take care of other things. He turned his head and looked at the time. It was now 5 minutes to 7 o'clock, and they had an appointment to get their hair done at 9 o'clock.

There is plenty of time.

So Neymar stopped the captain who was about to go out to get some clean clothes. With Batistuta's 'what's wrong with you' look in his eyes, he pushed the captain onto the sink and then raised his foot to close the bathroom door.

……

With Brazil's 4-1 victory over Serbia, all 16 matches of the first round of the group stage of the Qatar World Cup have ended. Among the eight most watched teams, six teams, including France, England, Belgium, Brazil, Portugal and Spain, won collectively, while Argentina and Germany lost at the same time and were reversed by Asian teams.

The teams that are currently in the most severe situation for qualifying are the ones that suffered two upsets. Argentina is at the bottom of the group with 0 points and a goal difference of -1, but the draws between Poland and Mexico gave them some breathing room. If they can win the next two games against Poland and Mexico, the possibility of the Pampas Eagles qualifying is still quite high.

Germany's situation is slightly better than Argentina's. Although they also have 0 points and a goal difference of 1, they still have Costa Rica in the group of death, which was defeated 0-7 by Spain in the first round. But if they cannot get 6 points in the subsequent games against Costa Rica and Spain, they may face the danger of being eliminated from the group.

On the other hand, the French team, which was burdened with the "defending champion curse", showed no signs of decline. In the first round, they defeated the Kangaroos Australia 4-1, just like the Brazilian team, and ranked first in the group with 3 points and 3 goals difference.

In response to reporters' questions, Mbappe calmly answered that they had never been troubled by the so-called curse. Although injuries brought some minor troubles to their lineup, all of them focused their energy and overcame the difficulties together.

Compared to Mbappe's flawless performance, captain Augustus seemed much more arrogant. He said that the French team had only one goal this year, which was to win the gold cup again. He claimed that this was their necessary mission, and even if they had to face their former opponents again in the end, they would move forward towards their goal firmly.

As soon as this statement came out, most people thought that the "former opponent" he was talking about was the Brazilian team, and Augustus' arrogant attitude was also considered a provocation to Batistuta. He hopes to win the gold cup again this year by defeating the Brazilian team.

Augustus' interview quickly went viral on the Internet.

Thanks to the rapid rise of streaming media in the fragmented information age, the popularity of this World Cup has reached an unprecedented height in a short period of time. Not only this video has been pushed to the public, but videos about Batistuta and the Brazilian team have also spread all over the world as Brazil defeated Serbia 4-1 in the last match of the first round of the group stage. Various types of introductions and short clips have been rapidly spread, including the feud between Brazil and France, the feud between Augustus and Batistuta, and the feud between Manchester City and Manchester United. In just half a day, it has been forwarded tens of millions of times.

The speed of spread is comparable to that of a zombie virus.

People were crazy about @Bati under Augustus' interview video, and crazy about @Augustus under Batistuta's interview video. They were looking forward to the Brazilian captain's response to this matter, and were even more happy to see the two captains bickering and confronting each other on and off the court.

Soon, netizens discovered that the captain of the French team seemed to have watched every video @his and responded with various expressions in the comment section. As the number of such responses increased, people began to discover a pattern.

such as--

When the video content was Batistuta being interviewed by a normal person, his reply was: (yellow face, nympho smile) (lips) (rose) (fan love) (yellow face worship)

When the video content is that Batistuta was asked questions related to him, his reply became: (yellow face kiss) (yellow face expectant eyes) (come on) (fireworks) (blushing fever) (yellow face funny)
When the video content is Batistuta talking about his relationship with other people around him (excluding his godfather), his replies will be: (yellow face with a fake smile) (yellow face indifferent) (yellow face unhappy)
Given that Batistuta has not responded, people generally believe that Augustus is still wishful thinking. Four years have passed, and he still has not been able to become friends with the person he likes.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian captain 'accidentally' pulled down his shorts to reveal his rainbow underwear during the 4-1 win over Serbia, which also set the internet on fire.

Although he did not intend to promote political ideas, his courage to display rainbows in public in Muslim countries, especially in world-class competitions, still attracted the attention of many □□ and rainbow circle people.

Of course, most of the secondary creation videos about his rainbow butt are still based on joy.

For example, Manchester City's official Tik Tok account used the video taken from the live broadcast and cross-edited it with funny clips of Batistuta from previous seasons to create a joyful short video that is very much in line with the preferences of modern young people, which reasonably increased a wave of fans.

At the Belgian training base, De Bruyne was opening his Tik Tok account. A few hours ago, he saw on his teammate's phone that there were a lot of vlogs (documentary shorts) shot by Batistuta at the Brazilian team's base. He had never used this app before.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the app, he accidentally swiped away several videos before he finished watching them. So De Bruyne then concentrated on liking a large number of videos, including those shot by Batistuta himself and those created by netizens, and then looked at them one by one from the "I liked" section.

[In front of the billboard, Batty, holding the MVP trophy, looked disdainful: "What? I'm here to compete, and I'm not allowed to wear underwear?"]

As he finished speaking, a cheerful background music sounded, and the scene switched to showing that the game was his highlight moment. Finally, the climax of the music fell on the moment when he showed his rainbow bottoms to the world.

"Pfft——" De Bruyne couldn't help laughing out loud.

When he heard that Qatar had issued a rainbow ban, he vaguely felt that Batistuta was going to cause trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so drastic. The Qatari officials had no way to deal with him. After all, the regulations involved all football equipment but did not mention underpants.

Well, that's wonderful, that's very Batty.

Just then a voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Hey Kevin, you also started using Tik Tok? What are you watching?"

It's Courtois.

De Bruyne snorted in his heart. He believed that their goalkeeper must have seen the content on his mobile phone. He asked this kind of question deliberately to squeeze him and ridicule him for only being able to watch Batistuta and Neymar getting close during the World Cup.

But it doesn't matter, he is not angry at all.

Some people are like annoying people who, when they can't eat the grapes, go around causing trouble for those who can eat the grapes.

So the Belgian midfielder turned around and put on a natural expression, shrugged, looked Courtois in the eyes and replied: "I'm sorry, Thibaut, I'm looking at someone you can never get in your life. Next time I will be careful not to make you sad in front of you."

Courtois' face fell instantly.

De Bruyne turned and walked towards the room in his good mood. Just a few steps out, he received something even better - a few selfies from Batistuta.

The Brazilian captain was photographed sitting by a swimming pool, his originally light hair showing hints of blue that were clearly newly highlighted.

Batty: How about the new look?
Barty: Can't wait to see you in the knockout rounds (blows a kiss)
Batty: Come on Kevin!
Batty: See you in the knockout round (wink)
