It is one of the viral videos, one of the many that left the Argentine classification to the final of the Qatar World Cup. In one of his usual calls for the channel America, the journalist Gonzalo Sorbo He portrayed the celebrations that took place on every corner of the country, in this place, from a renowned gastronomic patio in the city of Buenos Aires. And between the adrenaline of the live show and the excitement of what they had achieved, Lionel Messi and his boys, the dialogue that went viral took place.
“Oh, I just saw you dancing in the middle of everyone. How did you see Argentina?” the reporter asked a young woman who was celebrating exultantly. “Good, spectacular,” she replied, smiling. “Who was the best?” Gonzalo insisted. “Messi, obviously,” María Sol replied, and then came the moment everyone was talking about. “And what do we do on Sunday?” the reporter asked her, clearly alluding to the final. And she, quick on her feet and with a wide, mischievous smile, replied: “Whatever you want.”
Disoriented, Sorbo tried to redirect the conversation: “Oh, well. But for the National Team…” he managed to say with some nervousness while she was only laughing. The segment aired on America News, newscast hosted by Soledad Larghi and Rolando Graña, and within seconds it was circulating as a meme through WhatsApp groups and all social media.
Those involved took the matter with humor, responding to it on their respective Instagram accounts. “Today I became a meme,” wrote Gonzalo, more accustomed to the media hype. María Sol, meanwhile, couldn't believe the impact her fifteen seconds of fame had had. “Guys, when did all this happen? I'm having so much fun. I love your comments, they made my day. Thanks for so much,” wrote the young woman from the Caballito neighborhood, alongside the video in question, replying to each message she received.
Whatever you want It remained as one of the post-match phrases and Gonzalo and María Sol had another media meeting. This time it was by phone, in One and a Half Turns, the program they host Sebastián Wainraich, Julieta Pink and Pablo Fábregas by Urbana Play. And there they told what a whole country wanted to know: how they had followed the story between the reporter and the national team fan.
Gonzalo spoke first, from América's mobile outside, and from the outset, he downplayed the issue. He clarified that he's happily engaged, not in a real relationship, and that what had happened was one of those pitfalls that often occur on live television. "She rushed me and threw me off balance!" the journalist admitted with brutal honesty. "We were celebrating, I was up at the table singing, and I started interviewing everyone. I asked this girl who the best player was and then what she was going to do on Sunday, and she threw that one at me," he recounted.
However, he made it clear that things hadn't gone beyond a funny and awkward moment on television. "That relationship ended there. I'm dating," Gonzalo said. And he revealed that among the messages from friends and family, what his girlfriend told him, Maria Celeste. "She laughed it off because when you're a reporter, these things happen on the street," he said, while Wainraich jokingly denied it. "It never happened to me," the host said, laughing, before putting María Sol on the line.
“You just found out that Gonzalo has a girlfriend,” Wainraich inquired, but the young woman clarified that she'd found out at the time. “Just in case, he said it quickly. What a bummer,” Julieta remarked, all laughter erupting. “It came from my soul. In the video, I'm dying of laughter because I ask myself, 'What did I do?' It just happened,” replied María Sol, who gave details of her personal life. She has a degree in Human Resources, is the queen of a samba school, is single, and has already started to be recognized on the streets and on social media. “You made my day,” she summed up. But it didn't end there, because the young woman mentioned an ex-boyfriend who is in Qatar and who received the video, which, according to her, he took “with the best vibes.”
Finally, looking ahead to Sunday's grand final, Fábregas suggested that, beyond Gonzalo's emotional situation, they needed to do something to capitalize on the social media impact. "I'm not working on Sunday, but I'm celebrating at the Patio de los Lecheros," he said, referring to the venue where the match took place. "I covered all the matches there, so maybe we'll all run into each other again on Sunday," he added. "We'll take a selfie on Sunday," María Sol agreed.
Upon learning that they were neighbors of Caballito and upon noticing that the shipping It could have gotten out of hand. The young woman referred to her cell phone again to clear the air. "I'm going to say the man behaved excellently. There's a girlfriend involved, and she can rest easy. Beyond the comments and the banter, it was just a fun moment. I support that," she stated. "María Sol was a genius. She caught me off guard, I found it funny, and everyone on the floor was laughing too," she concluded, as Wainraich said, with the note everyone wanted to hear. Because the World Cup is also made up of small stories.
