Chapter 168: Infamy is also famous
Gao Zheng hasn't posted on social networks for a long time.
On the one hand, there are many things, and on the other hand, he can't understand Spanish and can't spell.
Occasionally, though, he scrolls through social networks to see if there's anything interesting.
Now that he can read and write Spanish, he pays more attention to tweets about Spain.
So he naturally brushed up on Herrera and Blanco's war of words.
After watching it, Gao Zheng understood that this was a drama that would be staged on the Internet every day for an unknown number of times by an influential celebrity V who relied on his fame and bullied ordinary netizens.
If this were something else, Gao Zheng might just take it as a joke.
But the bullied side is the Atletico Madrid fans, and since he sees him, he can't sit idly by.
And the other party, a supporter of Barcelona, said too much, using the number of fans to suppress others, Gao Zheng looked down on this practice. If anyone in this world has a large number of fans, and who makes sense, then will ordinary people still live?
In addition, after beating Real Madrid, he would have turned his attention to Barcelona as well.
The last time Atletico Madrid played Barcelona, they lost 3-1 away, when Gao Zhengren was in the Asian Cup with the national team, so he could only watch his team lose to Barcelona, and he missed the clash with Messi.
He came to Spain for the "peerless double", Cristiano Ronaldo has played against him four times without defeat.
It's time to take aim at Messi.
So he replied directly to Blanco's triumphant tweet.
Blanco said that his fans are hundreds of times that of Herrera's fans, which is really unfortunate, Gao Zheng's fans on social networks are also hundreds of times that of Blanco, if you use the number of fans to bully people, Blanco is not even an ant in front of Gao Zheng.
And Gao Zheng is different from Blanco, Blanco's fame is limited, and there are usually no media peers staring at his Twitter. Gao Zheng's Twitter has a lot of media reporters squatting, just waiting to see if they can keep any news.
Now they are really guarded.
There seems to be a "war" between Gao Zheng and a journalist who supports Barcelona!
This made the reporters who had nothing to do all day long suddenly feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood - here it is! The drama that the people like to see is staged!
So suddenly, Gao Zheng's tweet was retweeted countless times, not only his fans were forwarding to support Gao Zheng, but also many melon-eating parties and reporters who were not too big to watch the excitement were involved.
In an instant, this matter was pushed to the ranks of hot topics.
Gao Zheng threw his phone aside after retweeting this tweet, this kind of order of magnitude of hot topics may not be really hot topics for him, he didn't take it seriously at all, his retweet was just to support that Atletico Madrid fan.
Seeing him fighting alone, facing the bullying big V who was beaten and had no power to fight back, Gao Zheng couldn't get used to it, so he decided to help him.
Didn't the other party triumphantly say that there are more fans, so it makes more sense to speak? Let's compare the number of fans I have with this reporter.

Gao Zheng didn't take the tweet seriously, but among the two warring parties, it was as if a nuclear bomb had been thrown into a small-scale regional conflict.
Both Herrera and Blanco were a little confused at first, not understanding what was going on, and the bickering between the two of them came in so that the attention of Gao Zheng, the prehistoric beast, even ended up in person.
But then it was a good idea to see why Herrera was just an ordinary fan, while Blanco could be a journalist.
Because the latter is really good at catching hot spots.
Before Herrera could figure out why Gao Zheng wanted to help him, Blanco had already quickly screenshotted Gao Zheng's tweet retweeted by himself - he was afraid that Gao Zheng would delete it after a few minutes, so he wanted to keep the evidence. This is all a wealth of experience accumulated over a long period of time fighting people on social networks.
Then he began to figure out how to get the matter up to speed.
It's their job to chase the news, so what to do when there's no news to chase?
Then make the news.
For Blanco, Gao Zheng is simply a headline tailored for him.
Blanco, who also woke up in the morning and saw the news on the Internet, was completely sleepy and fully awake at this moment. He rolled over from the bed, opened his laptop, and began to plan how to stir up this matter, how to use it to promote himself.
And Herrera has not yet come out of the impact brought to him by Gao Zheng at this time.
He doesn't like Gao Zheng, he has never hidden this, so his companions have been a little alienated from him recently, feeling that he is not social, that he has a problem with his brain, that he is stubborn.
So when he was in trouble, he couldn't have imagined that it was Gao Zheng, the person he hated the most, who came to save him in the end.
After Gao Zheng retweeted this tweet, there was no longer any scolding on the Internet, and it was overwhelmingly full of voices mocking the Barcelona reporter, and the treatment of him and Blanco was completely reversed.
No matter how much he hated Gao Zheng, but at this moment, Gao Zheng did help him out of the siege.
This feeling made him feel conflicted inside. On the one hand, he didn't like Gao Zheng, and on the other hand, Gao Zheng really helped him.
Gao Zheng may have helped only because of his identity as an Atletico Madrid fan.
If Gao Zheng knew that he was actually an Atletico Madrid fan who didn't like him, would he still be willing to help himself?

The hype orchestrated by Blanco soon began.
He first replied to Gao Zheng: "I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the results of Atletico Madrid's last meeting with Barcelona?" Need I remind you? 3:1, you lost cleanly! β
The official Twitter account of Daily Sport, where he works, then produced a graphic feature detailing the causes and consequences of the dispute β selectively, of course, portraying Herrera as an agitated and brainless Atletico Madrid fan, while Manuel Blanco is a veteran football journalist who has left the pitch professionally.
To be honest, Blanco's initial tweet really didn't bounce out too much, and apart from the verbal irritation to Atletico Madrid fans, it wasn't much of a problem for neutral fans.
The main problem is that in the ensuing constant argument between Blanco and Herrera, Blanco's sense of superiority is a little disgusting, especially the practice of relying on the number of fans to suppress people After Gao Zheng retweeted it later, he was criticized by many netizens who rushed to watch the excitement.
However, these things are not highlighted in the graphic feature of "World Sports", and they are basically brushed aside.
The highlight of the feature is Gao Zheng's end.
"World Sports" described Gao Zheng's fate as a famous star's suppression of reporters who spoke up, and Blanco himself claimed to have been subjected to "cyber violence" - at this time, they never mentioned whether Blanco's behavior was "cyber violence" against Herrera.
The topic said that Gao Zheng was a megalomaniac who swelled up to the point where he didn't know what his surname was when he had some achievements. The evidence is Gao Zheng's sentence: "Barcelona lost the last league game this season? But I remember the penultimate round of the league was our match against Barcelona."
Gao Zheng's subtext is that Barcelona will definitely lose to Atletico Madrid, so Barcelona's 0-1 home defeat to Malaga will not be the last defeat in the league.
"World Sports News" believes that this is evidence that Gao Zheng is so inflated that he forgets.
Why?
Because Barcelona had defeated Atletico Madrid 3:1 at home before, such a result is here, why is Gao Zheng so sure that Atletico Madrid will definitely win Barcelona when he returns to his home stadium?
ββ¦β¦ Perhaps he thinks that Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home and will definitely beat Barcelona at home, which is a ridiculous analogy. Not to mention that Real Madrid was full of injuries before losing the game, and those sent to CalderΓ³n were all remnants, even so, Atletico Madrid only narrowly won by 4:3 by one goal. β
"Do you want us to give us a science update on the head-to-head record between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid? In the league, Atletico Madrid last beat Barcelona in the 2009-2010 season, and since then, Atletico Madrid have lost six consecutive league games against Barcelona. These included a 5-0 defeat in the 2011-2012 season...... Even if Atletico Madrid won the league title last season, the two league games against Barcelona were only draws. And what about this season? The league is 1:3, the Copa del Rey is 0:1, and the game is 2:3, all lost. That's a great result...... Historical data says it all, Atletico Madrid want to beat Barcelona? Of course, we can't say it's 100 percent impossible, but at least 99 percent can't! β
After the end of the traditional media "Daily Sports", the nature of this online quarrel has changed, and it is no longer just an argument between netizens, but a piece of media news.
Madrid responded quickly, and "As" replied to the statement of "Daily Sport": "...... "Daily Sport" has adopted a qualifier in the history of the confrontation between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, that is, 'league', why? Because they didn't dare to mention the second leg of last season's Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 1-0 at home......"
"Marca" newspaper also helped: "Atletico Madrid did not beat Barcelona in the league last season, but it was with the point that they drew 1:1 away from Barcelona in the 38th round of the league, they beat Barcelona and became the league champion." If Barcelona have such a 'know-it-how' for beating Atletico Madrid, why didn't they beat Simeone's team at home and sit on the league title themselves? Is it because beating Atletico Madrid is so easy that the Barcelona players don't bother to do it? β
In addition to "Daily Sports" in Barcelona, another "World Sports" newspaper with the same name as them also joined the team, which seems to be speaking for "Daily Sports", but in fact, it is speaking for Barcelona. After all, the argument boils down to a feud between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Although Blanco still has a large number of high-profile fans and melon-eating people on Twitter, Blanco is not at all like Herrera, on the contrary, he is very happy.
Because the media will mention him when reporting on this matter, whether it is praising him for his bravery and facing the big star Gao Zheng, or ridiculing him as a villain who sow discord, at least his name has been spread more and more widely, and more and more people know him.
For a person who eats on traffic and eyeballs, this is simply a joy from the sky.
Being scolded is also famous, and some people don't have this opportunity even if they want to be scolded!
