Juanma Rodriguezthe Spanish journalist he had wanted Croatia I scored four goals against Argentina in the semifinal of Qatar World Cupalso generated controversy this Sunday, when in the middle of the final the blue-and-whites beat France on penalties, he wrote on his Twitter account Chirping: “The World Bought”.
Rodríguez, columnist for the popular radio show “The Beach Bar”posted tweets during the meeting, always supporting France and claiming an alleged “nepotism” in favor of Lionel Messi and company.
“Long live France!”he wrote just before the start of the match at Lusail Stadium. “What a pity! Give it to him already”, he added midway through the final. And she concluded his opinion of hers with a: “INJUSTICE”.
His messages have angered many users of that social network and generated a lot of criticism. However, shortly after the last penalty, which sealed Argentina’s consecration, you clarified: “Argentines, you owe me this World Cup and you know it”.
Is that, apparently, everything was part of a “motivational tactic” for those directed by Scaloni to achieve the title. At least that’s what he had assured him after that controversial statement before the clash with the Croatians.
On that occasion, angry at the attitude of Argentine footballers after the victory against Holland -the festivities after the decisive sanction of Lautaro Martinez and the “go there fool” from Lionel Messi-, Rodríguez commented: “I hope Croatia will score four goals for them. And if they are lucky enough to reach the final, France will score six.”
“Karma exists and it will happen to them. They are unpresentable, you can’t defend everything. This is not football,” he added.
His wish was not fulfilled, as the national team beat the Croatians 3-0 and reached the final. After that clear victory, the Spaniard posted a video on his YouTube channel, in which he assured, with an ironic tone: “Thanks to my motivational tactic, thanks to the words I said the other day at the Chiringuito, I managed to get the Argentina come upstairs, wake up.”
“To the Argentine football team, don’t thank me, it’s not necessary. I’m a modest man, I want to be in the background,” he continued, claiming part of the victory. “But man, recognize that thanks in part – also to Messi – but partly to the Chiringuito, Argentina will be in the grand finale of the world championship.”
