Luis Figo has surprised with his latest public complaint. He made it on the podcast of his former teammate Casillas, harshly criticizing Josep Pedrerol for false information he conveyed years ago.
During the 'Galácticos' era, the legend arose that Luis Figo and Raúl didn't want to pass the ball to Zinedine Zidane. This story was conveyed by Josep Pedrerol himself, which has now served the former Portuguese player to harshly attack the current host of 'El Chiringuito' years later.
Luis Figo: The Reason for His Anger with Josep Pedrerol
Figo has been blunt, pointing to the host of 'El Chiringuito' for the information he conveys. "The other day I was watching a video of Josep Pedrerol and I thought: 'How can this guy tell so many lies?' You think people are so stupid to believe what you're saying. That can only influence people who don't have their own opinion," he stated.
In this regard, Luis Figo continued: "We (to Casillas), who have been playing soccer all our lives, I ask you... Do you think that on the field you have the time to think if I give the ball to this one, because it's Zidane, or I give it to the one here, who is Raúl? If you think like that, it's because you've never played professional soccer."
Josep Pedrerol, Speechless Toward Luis Figo
Hours after making these statements, Luis Figo and having gone viral, Josep Pedrerol still hasn't said anything. It seems that the host of 'El Chiringuito' has no intention of getting into this controversy, staying away from the Portuguese's words.
Meanwhile, Pedrerol would be aware of what Luis Figo has said, but he would have no intention of saying anything publicly. It's something common in the Catalan, who usually stays away from this type of controversy.
Recently, after some words from his former collaborator Álvaro Benito, Pedrerol took a week to respond, leaving a small hint and moving on to other matters. It's possible that the same will happen with this situation with Luis Figo, which could end up being nothing.
