Juanma Rodriguez, The Spanish journalist, Real Madrid fan and anti-Messi, has still generated controversy after the consecration of the Argentine national team. The man, a member of the ‘El Chiringuito’ jury, had wanted Croatia to ‘target four’ for the squad to be ‘anti-football’ in the celebration against the Netherlands.
Now, in various publications, he was “hurt” by the title of Argentina and even launched an absurd denunciation: “Bought the World Cup.”
The Spaniard published several tweets during the World Cup where he clarified what he thought of the Argentine national team: “Vivre la France!” and “Mundial comprada” were the two phrases that generated the most exchange with the Argentine public, who spared no insults.
“What a pity they give it to him now,” he wrote, also referring to the fact that the Argentine national team would be favored in Qatar.
As if that weren’t enough, he also tweeted: “Injustice” in relation to the result.
Far from repenting after the consecration or clarifying that it was all a joke, the journalist relaunched the bet and asked the Argentines to thank him: “Argentines, you owe me this World Cup and you know it.”
Rodríguez’s attitude has been a trend replicated by the majority of Europeans who have poured a certain “contempt” towards the Argentine team.
A few days ago, Juanma had published a video in which he underlined that his speech was part of a “motivational tactic”, which had made Argentina “get up, wake up” against its semi-final rival Croatia.
