Juanma Rodríguez's Striking Request to the Three Kings: Another Scandal…

The commentator and journalist had the reply ready to surprise everyone

The last marked date of the Christmas break is approaching: the night of the Three Kings. During that time, all those who have behaved well will receive gifts. Those who didn't follow the rules, on the other hand, will receive coal and the message to wait until next year by behaving better. 

One of those who has already written his particular letter to the Three Kings is Juanma Rodríguez. The commentator from El Chiringuito de Jugones has replied to a social media post from the MEGA program with a wish that will cause much controversy until it comes true.

The journalist makes it clear that his ideal gift from the Three Kings would be "another Barcelona scandal". At the same time, Juanma Rodríguez allows himself to make a play on words with the names of the Eastern monarchs... and one of the former presidents of FC Barcelona who led the club during the years of the "Negreira case."

Because "I've asked for" another scandal from the team now presided over by Joan Laporta, the veteran journalist acknowledges. However, he also has an important doubt: "Will Melchor, Gaspart, and Baltasar bring it to me?" This irony referencing Joan Gaspart hasn't gone unnoticed.

Gift to start the year

Especially considering the corrosive and insistent criticisms of the panelist from "El Chiringuito de Jugones" regarding everything related to the "Negreira case." Additionally, he doesn't hesitate to remind Jota Jordi that Barc1a  paid 8.4 million euros over 17 years to the former vice president of the CTA, something that considerably annoys the Barça commentator.

The course of the Barça entity seems to have anticipated those wishes of Juanma Rodríguez. Because the "Olmo case" has the current board of FC Barcelona on edge, which continues to look for a way to register both Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.

Juanma Rodríguez might not have enough with the turmoil experienced around FC Barcelona during New Year's Eve 2024 and the start of 2025. The gift requested by the panelist and journalist close to Real Madrid might arrive sooner than expected... although from the basketball section: the transfer of Thomas Heurtel, former point guard of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, would have been halted due to immediate fan criticism.

In any case, Juanma Rodríguez deepens his estrangement from a reconciliation with FC Barcelona. The rapprochement with the club and all those who defend it, especially in El Chiringuito, would be impossible since the "Negreira case" and all its competitive repercussions.
