"Madrid can never, ever concede four goals." Edu Aguirre said this after PSG's 4-0 win over Messi's Inter Miami in the Club World Cup. Afterward, Barça with Lamine Yamal scored a 4-0 win in La Liga and a 4-1 win in the Super Cup.
That visceral reaction from Edu Aguirre after PSG's 4-0 win over Inter Miami has gone viral. It's all thanks to the way he changes his tune depending on how Real Madrid is doing at the time.
Edu Aguirre's criteria remind people of Groucho Marx
Almost everyone sees it the same way. Edu Aguirre's criteria remind people of Groucho Marx: "Madam, I have principles, but if you don't like them I have others."
His opinion is fickle depending on the result. PSG's thrashing of Messi, the shadow that has always covered Cristiano Ronaldo, was a "disgrace." That's how he described it.
"PSG can't score four goals against you, what happened to Messi is a historic disgrace," he said. Yes, sir, disgraceful.
Days later, wonderful Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso completed its trophyless season against the same opponent and with the same result.
Edu Aguirre's reaction was different. More in line with what Florentino likes to hear from his useful pawns in the media landscape: "Four goals, it's no big deal. Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso is a team under construction."
Tantrum of a hurt fan, but no disgrace
😭 EL MAYOR RIDÍCULO DE EDU AGUIRRE EN TV - EL PSG LO HUMILLA - PSG 4 Real Madrid 0
On to something else. Tantrum of a disappointed fan, yes, but no historic disgrace. Edu Aguirre reserves that for Barça and Messi, who have hurt him so much.
It's the typical reaction of a die-hard fan, with little perspective. The thing is, Edu Aguirre, besides acting as a radical Real Madrid fan with Pedrerol, is an analyst for Movistar.
He takes part in the broadcasts of pay-per-view matches carrying a backpack full of Madridist passions and Barcelona resentments. As a die-hard fan, he can say whatever he wants. As a journalist, if he is one, there should be a minimum of decency.
One can't turn into information what is nothing more than pure desire and illusion.
