That we don't suck our thumb, Carlos Boyero - The penultimate Raulista alive - Libertad Digital Libertad Digital

The El País skunk returns to the fray, and this time against Cristiano. The Madrid striker, without a doubt one of the best footballers in the history of the best football club of the 20th century, "is within his rights to deduce and express that those who systematically offend him belong to the fearsome kingdom of fools. Or to the crackle with complaints against the hepatic zoo that publicly slanders him, blaming him for the failure of his team". The quote in quotation marks is not mine but Carlos Boyero's own. In an article of his on April 17, 2010 entitled Cristiano, the showy film critic of the Prisa group began by saying that someone had assured him that he had witnessed in England how Cristiano Ronaldo, after a header, went like a man possessed towards the bench to get his hair done and slicked up properly. "He swore it wasn't a joke. And it was comforting to believe it was true," he added.

It doesn't have to be pleasant at all to get in front of the computer and write to dictation to survive. It must not be easy for someone who considers himself the enfant terrible of film criticism to be forced to secrete a permanent foul and nauseating odor through his articles in order to satisfy the employer. I will not call Carlos Boyero a "Nazi", which is what he did with Mourinho, by the way, and I hardly dare to describe him as a "journalistic skunk" since the last time we had a clash he called me a monstrosity and assured that if he crossed paths with me one day he would break my nose with a headbutt. In any case he, of course, does not belong to the "fearsome kingdom of fools" but to the pitiful Republic of fools. Boyero is aging badly and his ingenuity, if he ever had it, is being sold to the highest bidder, who today is Juan Luis Cebrián.

Speaking of Cebrian. I would have taken my hat off if, instead of insulting Cristiano and Florentino Pérez, who is the true objective of the lord of his editorial castle, Boyero had once signed an article in defense of his colleagues at El País or, for example, would have offered his vision of Cebrián as a manager and the subsequent analysis of how the hell it is possible that one of the most powerful companies in Spain for decades is today in the grip of a mammoth debt that has not alleviated the symbolic sale of 40% of Digital Plus and Santillana and Media Capital. Let's not fool ourselves: to understand the ridiculous article the other day by Boyero against Cristiano, one only has to follow the trail of money. The "greased turkey" is the anecdote, never mind the "greased turkey." The "greased turkey" thing is a distraction. What, as happens with matryoshkas, that written fart actually contains is nothing more than another little message to Florentino Pérez, who continues without giving in and who must be made to capitulate in any way in order to get VIP access to Hal 9000 at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. .. That we don't suck our thumb, Carlos Boyero!...
