It's not common to see Josep Pedrerol and Tomás Roncero facing off on El Chiringuito shouting at the top of their lungs. That happened last night on the Mega program.
Josep Pedrerol usually plays the role of a Barça fan surrendered to the might of Real Madrid, and Tomás Roncero plays along by acting as a radical Madridist.
Josep Pedrerol Seemed Like a Barça Fan Stopping Roncero in His Tracks
Last night Pedrerol set out to stand up to Roncero, as he has done before with Jota Jordi and Cristóbal Soria. He even seemed like a Barça fan.
Pedrerol reproached Tomás Roncero for his leniency with the white players after the setback against Arsenal.
Both engaged in a heated dialogue full of shouting, talking over each other. Very passionate and not at all objective and rigorous. That's how the quarrel unfolded.
-Josep Pedrerol: "To me, you're making a fool of yourself and I'd like you to criticize those who don't run. You said the other day: 'Madrid has won many titles, that's what you said here'."
-Tomás Roncero: "Of course I said it. Or is it a lie? Or are you going to erase history?
When they talk about sextuplets, you don't argue with them. It would only be missing to deny what no one will ever have..."
"History, in the Books," Sentences Josep Pedrerol
-Josep Pedrerol: "History, in the books".
-Tomás Roncero: "I gave them a hard time".
-Josep Pedrerol: "You didn't give them anything, Madrid's history is very big and I don't know what... The wounded lion...".
-Tomás Roncero: "You'll see it in the Copa final".
-Josep Pedrerol: "Wasn't the lion wounded the other day?"
-Tomás Roncero: "The other day they failed. But no matter how hard you try, Madrid rises".
-Tomás Roncero: "You keep it up, Saturday night the Barça fan Josep Pedrerol will know what a wounded lion is. A white, albino lion.
You'll be here to tell it. You've just ensured that Real Madrid wins the Copa final. Florentino will thank you for it".
Curious the power Roncero attributes to Pedrerol. He is capable of making Real Madrid win a Copa del Rey and having Florentino Pérez thank him for it.
