My friend Marlonstocker of Condis of the Argentine Republic, a heavenly being, a culé of all his life, but a sensible culé, who believes at face value Xavi Hernandez and ignores the castles in the air that the president-executive builds Joan Laportawas fly this afternoon, outraged, how can you be outraged, I insist, a culé ‘com cal’.
I was going to buy myself some dinner and squeeze an orange juice in a machine that makes them super tasty instantly, when he sneaked up on me and whispered in my ear, “Did you hear the question the journalist from Movistar a Pep?». I turned around and told her, also only for hers to hear from her: “Well, no, Marlon, I haven’t seen her, nor have I heard her.” Well you should, he added as he slipped away to tidy up the rack of artichokes.
Yes, the question
It left me so intrigued that I went to gossip on YouTube. And, indeed, the question he asked Ignacio MiguelezMovistar journalist, at the press conference prior to the second leg of the semifinals of the Champions in it Santiago Bernabeuit was, I swear, if I was going to make the corridor for the real Madrid as winner of LaLiga (Spanish).
Seriously, do they hate Pep enough to ask him that question? Has it done so much damage? Do they have so much mania for him, that they look for the most unpredictable, senseless, crazy, misplaced, unpresentable, inadequate way, to provoke in him a response that becomes, at the minute, a ‘trending topic’ on the networks and in the newsrooms of Spain whole?
It is evident that asking the coach of a team in the premier league if he, “who is such a traditionalist in football”, plans to make the corridor to the LaLiga champion, it is the most Martian, provocative and damaging question (not because of the question, but because of the answer he is pursuing) that has occurred, without a doubt , in the history of the Champions and TV.
Ask the ‘Cholo’

I understand Ricardo Sierrafrom Movistar and all a journalist, when he could feel ignored by the blunt, short, dry answers of Guardiola after the 4-3 of the first leg in the Etihad StadiumI understand, but the truth is, I don’t know what these questions about Ignacio Miguélez’s corridor are about, which could be asked at most, on Saturday, at ‘cholo’ Simeone and, perhaps, not even him, since Atlético has already said that they do not plan to make Real Madrid a corridor.
Guardiola responded too well (“it’s a UEFA issue”), although his perplexed face said it all. Attention: Champions, semi-final second leg, 4-3 in the first leg, duel at the summit, two great teams, eleven Spanish and eleven English, great football, gold game, platinum definition and the Spanish journalist goes and asks the English coach if he plans to make the corridor to the rival (champion of Spain). Crazy, seriously.
