Juanma Rodríguez Shouts at Petón: 'It's Over, You Disrespect...'

The journalist and panelist couldn't take it anymore after a tense exchange with the Atlético fan commentator

One of the most well-known panelists of "El Chiringuito de Jugones" is Juanma Rodríguez. His role as a defender of Real Madrid, as well as the constant reminders of the "Negreira case", have made him one of the most recognized both inside and outside our country. His entrance in the latest program of that talk show was spectacular: he was making "faces".

Those gestures of disagreement initiated a truly striking monologue. Juanma Rodríguez pointed out that he wanted to defend himself "from what I consider to be slanders against the club of my life": for the white commentator, Real Madrid is "my family". He also didn't overlook the comments of José Antonio Martín, known as "Petón", about the "levels of tension" that Spanish soccer would have reached today.

Juanma Rodríguez made it clear that "you have a double standard, allow me to tell you". The Madridist panelist maintains that "you say one thing in one minute and the next you offend the respect of many people who are watching us live right now" on television. Furthermore, the journalist acknowledges that he will be on "El Chiringuito de Jugones" until Josep Pedrerol decides to dispense with his services.

Meanwhile, "I'm going to give my last drop of blood to tell you, Petón, it's over. That the gentlemen's handshake is over, that it doesn't go with me, that it's a lie". In the face of all the attacks suffered by the white club, Juanma Rodríguez would bet on banishing the famous dignity that has always accompanied the white team.

Drawing the Line

Even in their most challenging sports moments. Juanma Rodríguez recalls the comments made by Diego Pablo Simeone in the 15/16 season, a League "dangerously prepared" for Real Madrid that was ultimately won by FC Barcelona with authority. "That's okay with you", the Madridist panelist asks, visibly upset in his monologue.

"Coming here to spread slanders about Real Madrid seems okay to you and you expect me to come here calmly to respond...", Juanma Rodríguez points out. "Petón" tries to defend himself by pointing out that the veteran journalist "is telling one lie after another", something that is quickly countered by Juanma Rodríguez himself on "El Chiringuito de Jugones".

Juanma Rodríguez understands that "the one I believe is lying is you, and daily about my club". Juanma Rodríguez, after pointing out "Petón" for some comments made against the team, reiterates: "I'm going to give my last drop of blood to defend Real Madrid".

"Because I believe it deserves it and because I believe this country, without an institution like Real Madrid, would be much worse, I sincerely tell you", Juanma Rodríguez points out to "Petón". Thus, "we have to make a banner of the best club in history that circumstantially or coincidentally, is in Madrid, and it's Real Madrid Club de Fútbol", the panelist concludes.
