Euphoria is neighborhood-based, and victimhood is too. Edu Aguirre, the radical Real Madrid panelist on El Chiringuito, is a conclusive example.
A few months ago, Edu Aguirre claimed on El Chiringuito that "there's no league". He even gave a date, February 8, as the definitive end of the championship. Naturally, because on February 8, Real Madrid was already going to be the champion.
Edu Aguirre Dixit: "Madrid, Champion on February 8"
A dose of arrogance and supremacy from someone who looks down on others.
Why? Because on February 8, the Madrid classic was played, and with the sure white victory, Atlético and Barça would be KO.
What was it based on? On his desires, his wishes, his Madridist illusion. On nothing else.
That's how he argued it, before dropping 5 points against Espanyol and Atlético, blinded by his white passion and the interests hanging from it when he enjoyed a 9-point lead:
"As of today, there's no league.Barcelona has shown that it's a very irregular team, capable of the best and capable of the worst. It has no reliability, and the only team that's going up physically and technically is Real Madrid.
Madrid has been very bad, it can't be worse. And it's growing.
Barcelona was nine points ahead of Real Madrid and has dropped 16 points along the way.
And Atlético de Madrid, every time they get going and it seems like... They get scared and fall. Atlético has never been a rival to win LaLiga.
Simeone said a while ago that our rival is Barça, which had seven consecutive victories. Simeone didn't even mention Madrid.
"Now, Madrid Quietly..."
Now Madrid, quietly, the worst Madrid of recent years, with the worst Mbappé, they're going to win the league".
This is the level of journalists who act as analysts with their scarves on and objectivity forgotten at home. Madrid is going to win La Liga because it has decided so. And above all, "quietly".
"Madrid has been very bad and can't be worse". Are you sure?
Two months later, Barça has gained five points in two rounds. It's now two points behind and depends on itself to be the champion. Meanwhile, Edu Aguirre now says that there is a league.
If Barça lets 9 points slip away, it's because it's not a reliable team. If the points slip away from Real Madrid, it's because of Negreira, Villarato, or the mother superior. Self-criticism, never, that's for others.
"Madrid Will Paint the League on Barça's Face"
And just three weeks ago, the same Edu Aguirre offered this session of arrogance on El Chiringuito in the purest Cristiano Ronaldo style. They hadn't yet lost in Cornellà nor had Atlético tied them at Bernabéu:
"Barcelona thinks it's going to win LaLiga in November and believed in November that it was the best soccer in the world. And that Lamine was the best player in the world and that everything was wonderful.
And that Mbappé's Madrid was going to crash, and now sadly that Madrid is going to win LaLiga in your face. And at half throttle.
The worst Madrid of recent years, the one that gets along super badly and Mbappé is terrible, is going to beat you in your face.
I predict it, Madrid at half throttle, is going to paint the league on this Barça's face, on the face. Then in the Champions League, it can be seen. But in the League, Madrid has much more solvency than Barcelona, much more.
"Barça Has Brought Out the Machinery: 'They Don't Let Us Win'"
I understand it hurts you and you have acid there. And the locomotive and the machinery have started, and Laporta comes out, and Flick comes out, and the captain comes out. If we know, 'they don't let us win, it's LaLiga, it's Tebas who is a Madridist'...
Curiously, the one who was going to win LaLiga at half throttle three weeks ago is the one complaining now. "They don't let us win". And it's the one who wants to stage a coup to end the laws of soccer and create a new order to its measure.
With everyone's rules, it can't win and plays to publish notes, but the one complaining is Barça. Small team things and victimhood when the protests are blaugrana. A matter of state when the cries are white.
What Don Florentino says. To command. That's how this circus works, which has too many clowns.
