Juanma Rodríguez Reports Louzán's Bad Intentions on 'El Chiringuito': 'He...'

The journalist and commentator shares his opinion on one of the most important controversies of recent hours

One of the  most striking controversies of recent times is none other than the conversation between Florentino Pérez and Rafael Louzán, the new RFEF president after Pedro Rocha. Those words between both leaders have sparked all kinds of opinions, especially because they are related to a very sensitive issue in Spanish soccer for several years: referees.

Real Madrid's president urged the dignitary of this governing body of Spanish soccer to "solve the referee issue", whose situation is not the most promising. Especially since the outbreak of the "Negreira case" a little less than two years ago, something that has considerably diminished their credibility. As well as that of FC Barcelona and its former and current leaders.

After Louzán revealed that conversation in an interview with Josep Pedrerol, everyone has shared their opinion and their conclusions about the position taken by Madrid. Juanma Rodríguez, aware of all the uproar caused in the last 24 hours, has shown no doubt when defending the entity presided over by Florentino. As well as the top Madrid leader.

"Louzán got what he wanted: equating the 'Negreira case' with his supposed conversation with Florentino", states the commentator of El Chiringuito de Jugones. It's no surprise that it's Juanma who refers to this open 'case' in Spanish soccer, as he's always keen to remind it on set.

Contraposition

Be that as it may, Juanma Rodríguez has been very critical of the president of RFEF regarding his words in the interview with Josep Pedrerol. Especially due to his position both inside and outside the sports talk show broadcast by MEGA.

Because besides being a recognized Madridist, a fact he doesn't hide and on which he bases a large part of his interventions on television, radio, and digital press... Juanma has a particular connection with Florentino, whom he has pointed out on more than one occasion in very striking terms. He claims to be "very grateful" to the current merengue leader.

Be that as it may, Juanma Rodríguez seems to have a clear understanding of the strategy of the current president of RFEF. The attempt to compare the 'Negreira case', which still has no resolution, with his "supposed" conversation with Florentino Pérez doesn't sit well with the panelist of merengue sentiment.

Despite everything, the journalist and commentator doesn't intend to give up when it comes to talking about the 'Negreira case' in his upcoming interventions. Perhaps as a result of the emergence of this information, he'll redouble his efforts to remind that Barcelona paid 8.4 million euros to the former CTA vice president over 18 years.
