How did Gastón Edul capitalize on his meeting with Messi: the ‘what are you looking at, stupid’ has arrived on Netflix

The crowning of the Argentina national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was, without a doubt, a before and after in Argentine football. For Gaston Eduljournalist of the TV channel TyC Sports and in charge of covering the Argentine team, the World Cup changed his life. Her coverage was very high, but there was one special moment that put her on everyone’s lips.

Argentina and Holland fought an epic battle for the quarterfinals. She had it all. Lionel Scaloni’s team arrives in the 80th minute with a two-goal lead, Lionel Messi and Nahuel Molina are the architects, but Wout Weghorst, with a brace, obscures the tranquility.

In extra time, he scratched more than what was played, which is why there were several riots. As further it is impossible not to mention the painful refereeing of Mateu Lahoz. The Spaniard threw cards everywhere and generated more tension than necessary. The match should have been decided on penalties and the Dutch, according to the Argentine players, talked too much and raised the temperature of the definition.

But the figure of Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez has grown. The man from Mar del Plata, great architect of the third star obtained in Qatar, saved two penalties and was the great hero of the evening.

In the post-match interview, Edul asked him some questions, neither more nor less than Lionel Messi. And in the middle of the interview, the unthinkable happened. The Argentine captain’s chain has come loose. “What are you looking at, idiot? Go there, idiot”were the words that came out of 10’s mouth. The “bobo” was for Wout Weghorst, current Manchester United player.

That December 9, 2022, certainly, was a break in both Gastón Edul’s professional career and life. First of all, he was the reporter in charge of the interview while Messi had an act that will be remembered forever. Furthermore, he gained more visibility and started to be one of the most credible voices when it came to information about the national team.

In the last hours A Netflix commercial has come out that has Gastón Edul as the main protagonist. The video puts the journalist in a situation of doubt and always asks the same question. “What are you looking at, fool?”is that question. Towards the end, and in relation to the platform on which series and films can be seen, Edul starts naming different contents available and closes by saying that they ask Bobo.

Bobot is a new feature introduced by Netflix. Basically it is an immediate response bot whose job is to recommend series or films to users who don’t know what to watch and need a guide on the different titles available.

Edul will not have imagined during his days in Qatar how far that unforgettable moment lived with Messi could go, but now he has been able to capitalize on it. No fools, Edul.
