After the tense exchange of opinion they had on the air in the debate over injuries in Argentine soccer, Diego Chavo Fucks responded to Diego Latorre, who had recommended to the experienced journalist that he “start studying” to be able to analyze certain topics.This Friday, at the opening of ESPN’s F90 program, there was a second part of the crossover that went viral.
“Yesterday they sent me to school. It’s very funny that they send a guy who covered seven World Cups and wrote five books to school, but it doesn’t matter, you always have to be humble. That’s why I brought some books here,” Fucks began, showing some bibliographies, some of his own.El Chavo first showed the work of Martí Perarnau called The Tactical Evolution of Soccer.“I’m going to read it again,” he warned.
Then, the journalist took out a second copy and showed it to the camera: “I dared to bring a book of my authorship called ‘Duel de Guapos’, from 2005, it has 62 classics, the prologue by a certain Roberto Fontanarrosa and there is a chapter dedicated to Diego Latorre called ‘Boca se climbed the tower’ and it is from the famous match that Boca won 4-3 against River.”
In another of the chicanes about the previous day’s discussion with Gambeta Latorre, Chavo Fucks showed another book called Dios salve a Pep.”Here is Gvardiol, since they were asking, before the injury. Also Rubén Dias, before the injury. It is a spectacular book that tells of Guardiola’s time at City from the moment he arrived until he won the Champions League. It is a spectacular book that leaves me wondering about the discussion we had because if he (through Latorre) admires Guardiola so much, it is quite the opposite…” he launched.
Finally, in his monologue, Fucks took out a copy of the Spanish magazine Líbero, which had as its cover story the 20 best soccer players in Argentina, with the opinion of four national journalists, two of whom were present on the F90 program.One was him and the other was Daniel Arcucci.“So guys, before saying some things you have to pay attention to who we say it to and why. I’m going to go to school, I’m going to learn from all those books I brought,” Chavo concluded.In any case, he clarified that he has a good relationship with Latorre and that yesterday they went to the parking lot talking about the discussion they had had on the air.”He’s a great guy and I love him very much. He really means everything he says, because it’s genuine even if he’s wrong. But it’s what he thinks,” he concluded.
*The heated debate between Diego Latorre and Chavo Fucks
After the presentation of the issue of injuries in Boca Juniors, with the cases of Exequiel Zeballos and Ander Herrera, the heated debate began in the panel and how much influence there is on the work of footballers in the gym and what impact the use of GPS data has.”Don’t talk anymore. Do you see why I’m angry? I’m talking about the motor skills of soccer players,” Latorre said in the middle of the discussion with Fucks.El Chavo replied: “You don’t see the players… as the former players say, do they wear a bra? Well, that is individual, that is to have individual measurements.”
The controversy escalated later when Latorre questioned: “Why does City have seven injured? Why does Arsenal have eight injured? After talking to me about the technology, you tell me: ‘What do I know?’ Do you know how Gvardiol was injured at Manchester City, for example? Start studying then and don’t talk to me about GPS, tell me about the real game. The footballer really plays there on the pitch. And the gesture of football is determined by theadversary too.For the adversary.”Finally, Gambeta told the host Sebastián Vignolo: “You have to pay me my salary, for the things I have to hear on this program…”.
