"The Super Cup already bores me. It's a meaningless trophy that no one will remember on May 31. The Super Cup and the little hand are already done, and we have to look forward".
What happened to the septet?
This is how Edu Aguirre expressed himself last night on El Chiringuito, who not long ago dreamed of a septet that included the Spanish Super Cup. He boasted that Real Madrid doesn't play finals, but wins them. And he justified the 0-4 in LaLiga at Bernabéu because there was no title at stake.
Edu Aguirre's change of narrative is reminiscent of the shell game. I move the pieces here and there until I get what I want. The Super Cup is important depending on whether Real Madrid wins it or not.
If the trophy turns white, it's a "super cup". If the rival wins it, it's just a shot. This has always been the case in the Madridist narrative based on the theory of justification.
If Edu Aguirre is reminded of the 0-4 in LaLiga or the 5-2 in the Super Cup, we must look to the future and not be stuck in the past. Curiously, when the 0-4 and 2-5 arrived, the media spokespersons of Madridism rescued the 15 Champions of the past to offer a convincing reply.
Edu Aguirre is one of those Florentino Pérez likes
Edu Aguirre is one of those Florentino Pérez likes. He doesn't need to have him on the payroll to hear what he wants to hear. And the reporter rarely disappoints with his passionately Madridist versions.
He is the same one who, a year before receiving the Ballon d'Or, demanded that Benzema never wear the Real Madrid jersey again. It was after a 0-4 at Bernabéu against Xavi's Barça, and he was very angry.
Although his history contains notable failures with predictions that don't come true. Edu Aguirre lives on dreams and illusions that remain alive until reality kills them. Like the septet of this year and the trebles of each season.
The curious thing is that this reporter has earned a place on El Chiringuito for his Madridist fervor and his old incendiary tweets. And he would be worthy of participating in the Real Madrid TV debates. But it's harder to pass off as a Movistar analyst for Real Madrid matches.
That is, the one who reports whether a penalty is or isn't. Or the one who decides if a goal is offside or not. He offers all that with the credibility and objectivity provided by his nightly comments on El Chiringuito.
