Strong crossover between Oscar Ruggeri and Morena Beltrán: “You weren’t born”

Oscar Ruggeri Y Morena Beltran they had a spicy back-and-forth airing on ESPN. The cross between the former player and the journalist, who are covering the World Cup in Qatar 2022, following the historic football discussion on the styles of César Luis Menotti and Carlos Salvador Bilardo, the two world champion coaches with the Argentina national team , in 1978 and 1986.

Seeing the heat unfolding on F90 (ESPN) Morena interrupted and asked: “Are they fighting over who defends a certain ideology?”which implies that this debate is now a thing of the past.

“Yes, absolutely! To die, to die with Bilardo!”Ruggeri jumped.

“Luckily I was born in ’99 and I don’t identify with any of them! Why else…”added Beltrán, but the former defender of Real Madrid and San Lorenzo, among other teams, got angry and started the counterpoint.

“But ‘More’, I tell you what…”, Ruggeri began, in a sober tone. And he continued: Did you see when you bought the shirt? It has two stars, you weren’t born, but for some reason it has two stars… Otherwise it wouldn’t have any stars.” And More clarified his position: “No, of course, but I don’t identify with a school, as is done in this division.”

Then, to continue the discussion, Morena brought up the recurring criticism Gonzalo Higuaín received during his time with the Argentina national team. “Did he hurt you when they massacred the generation of (Gonzalo) Higuaín and them?” she asked. Ruggeri said yes and she then questioned him: “And then how can we guarantee this so much? I don’t agree. I don’t identify with one discourse or the other”referring to the saying that the latter is the first of the vanquished.

“We have to win, we don’t care, we have to win. The others say ‘the important thing is to play well'”, ruled Ruggeri, in an effervescent tone.

And he added, responding to the statements of the journalist who does not identify with the Bilardo or Menotti football schools: “But it cannot be said that… You’re bad, because when you were born you didn’t even see San Martín”.

“I don’t identify with one discourse or the other. Of course I’m very grateful”Beltran explained. And he added: “The things they said to Bilardo are crazy, a guy who analyzed his rivals from top to bottom and served you all the tools. It seems to me a disaster that they minimize the figure of Bilardo. But for both sides.

“Bilardo was called ‘defensive’, who set the pins. He never told me to use pins. And in the team there were Maradona, Bochini, Trobbiani, Tapia, Borghi…”, continued Ruggeri, without leaving the speech, who then added the words of Daniel Arcucci and El Chavo Fotti, also members of the cycle.
