Juanma Rodríguez has become one of the most recognizable voices of Madridism. His presence in talk shows like El Chiringuito has made him very popular. His opinions leave no one indifferent and always generate debate.
He is not only known for his passion for Real Madrid, but also for his critical nature. When he doesn't like something, he doesn't hold back. That's why his reactions often go viral on social media.
Juanma Rodríguez and his media impact
Over the years, Juanma Rodríguez has earned the respect of many white supporters. His direct, unfiltered style connects with the fans. Phrases like "God is from Madrid" will remain in the collective imagination for a long time.
He has now become a protagonist again. This time for some statements directed at the next merengue coach, Xabi Alonso. What he has said has not gone unnoticed in the Madrid environment.
Xabi Alonso, in the spotlight before starting
Xabi Alonso will take the reins of Real Madrid on May 26. His arrival generates excitement, but also great expectations. It is not easy to assume a position with so much pressure from day one.
Juanma Rodríguez knows this and that's why he has already issued his first warning. He wanted to make clear what the measuring stick will be. There will be no room for prolonged mistakes.
Juanma Rodríguez sets conditions for Xabi Alonso
According to the journalist, there is a red line that Xabi Alonso must not cross. "Real Madrid can't go two years without winning La Liga," he said. And he gave a very specific example to justify it.
He compared the Basque to Simeone. According to him, only coaches like the Argentine can afford not to win and still continue. At Madrid, the demand is completely different and Xabi Alonso will need to win to stay on the white bench.
If he doesn't win, Florentino will act
Juanma Rodríguez has been very clear: there is no room for complacent speeches. "If Xabi doesn't win and says he was close, Florentino will fire him," he assured. For the communicator, that would be unacceptable at the Bernabéu.
It's not just about competing, it's about conquering titles. And La Liga, after two years without winning it, has become an absolute priority. The margin for error will be minimal from the first match.
The message resonates with Madridism
These statements have spread like wildfire on social media. Many supporters agree with Juanma Rodríguez. They believe that Real Madrid must keep firm in its winning culture.
Xabi Alonso will have to prove from the start that he is ready. The fans don't want experiments or long projects without results. Time at Real Madrid is measured with trophies, not with good feelings.
