Last Sunday came the first blow of the spicy final between the Argentine national team and the Netherlands. Pending the resolution of the file investigating what happened after Lautaro Martínez converted the penalty for qualifying for the semi-finals, FIFA has decided to expel streamer Gerónimo ‘Momo’ Benavides as the voice of the Albiceleste stadium, who said the formation and harangued the fans before every game.
It was ‘Momo’ himself, elected streamer of the year in 2021 and a fanatical fan of the Platense, who explained the decision of the organizer of the World Cup. “Unfortunately today FIFA informed me that I will no longer be the voice of the stadium when the national team plays, Without much explanation, they let me understand that part is due to what happened against the Netherlands“He posted a discussion on his Twitter account, where he has more than 500,000 followers.
“This thread is just to thank those who have supported me, to apologize to those who feel I have let them down, or perhaps they have not felt that I have done what I was supposed to do right from my humble place. I have sincerely tried to be the voice of each of you, as Argentinian as possible, without reciting it, feeling it and expressing myself as you would, being one more as always”He added.
And he completed: “Thank you for having accompanied me in this dream that I have lived, thanks to the AFA and to the players and workers of the national team who have always integrated me (and it doesn’t depend on them) and above all to the players for the moments of happiness that they give life and that they are the most important thing”.
“So far this beautiful fucking work has come, I hope I have not disappointed you and you will see me blogging everywhere, cheering as always, singing as always, because the important thing is that Argentina reaches the top, not my role, I was a little ring of something beautiful”He added.
And, before saying goodbye, he announced that he will still try to be at the Lusail stadium on Tuesday for the semi-final against Croatia: “As I always say: WE BANK THE PLAYERS AND THOSE WHO WORK EVERY DAY TO GET AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. Sorry and thank you”.
This was the job of ‘Momo’ in Argentina matches
