Martín Liberman: X-ray of the controversial journalist who “condemned” Zambrano and Advíncula

The eye of the storm is the natural habitat of Martin Liberman. Chaotic situations are inherent to him and his work. Every time a critic comes out, the journalist’s name appears negatively in the media. Inevitably, multiple questions lurk against him, as harsh as the words he utters. They are the perils of his trade. And it cannot and does not want to prevent it.

Recently, the glances that have pointed to Liberman are not from his native Argentina. From Peru, the ‘Colorado’ (as they say) has captured the spotlight after his latest comments against Carlos Zambrano and Luis Advíncula, the two national teams that are active in Boca Juniors.

, a player who could never earn a place in the first team for Boca, Boca being a bad team and in a time of crisis, imagine in a good time for Boca, then all I’m saying is the truth. Zambrano never stood out, he never played well, he was always a substitute “, strongly reproached Liberman in the Movistar Deportes program ‘Al Ángulo’.

With Advincula, the story was very similar. The ‘Colorado’ spoke without mincing words, as he normally does, and had no mercy to refer to Boca’s right-back and the Peruvian team.

“Spend $ 3 million on Advíncula? What country do you enter? . We must have the ability to ask ourselves why they give it to us. Because that’s it “he expressed in an ironic half tone.

His statements did not go down well. An adverse scenario was to be expected, even fighting with the panelists of the program. And it is that their criticisms are as valid as they are cruel. But Martin Liberman He’s used to dealing with these kinds of situations by now, obviously in his own way.

In fact, in the midst of the virtuality of today’s world, we communicate with the Argentine journalist through a direct message from Twitter, perhaps the social network where he is most noticeable. The intention was to rescue some statements and discuss what he thought of Zambrano and Advíncula.

– Always controversial –

Martin Liberman he is a daring being. He has no mercy in his words. This was evidenced in each sports program in which he was the protagonist. Most of his career was written on Fox Sports, where his views never went unnoticed. Controversy is part of it. And that has never been news.

.

The constant and incessant reproaches to the ’10’ of the Argentine team have motivated Liberman to be considered as an “anti-Messi”. His opinions may seem unwarranted to many, but he never remains silent. Even when he left Barcelona, ​​the reproaches were not lacking.

“When he says: he lowered me 50% (of salary), (actually) he wanted to charge Barcelona 70 clubs per year for five years, and he was only going to play two… The guita (money) and sports were there before. He did not want to give a single euro to Barcelona. He wanted money and in good law, it’s his ”, he pointed.

The Argentine journalist has no limits. He has even had confrontations with Lionel’s sister. T, mainly to President Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, for treating the ’10’ every time he put on the national team shirt.

Yes indeed. There have also been some accolades. In fact, in the last Copa América that Argentina won at the hands of Messi, Liberman did not hesitate to highlight the merit of the ‘Albiceleste’ crack for the title.

“Before this Messi I give up, before the previous one, no, because he had a pending issue, not with me, not with the National Team, not with the people, but with him because he is a crack and he could do what he did in this Cup; I had the capabilities ”said the journalist.

The idea of ​​”anti-Messi” is reinforced by the great admiration that Liberman has towards Cristiano Ronaldo. The ‘Colorado’ does not tire of praising the Portuguese and his achievements, a fact that many of his followers reproach him, because “he does not do the same with Messi.”

However, Liberman ignores what he is told and remains at the center of the controversy by responding with contempt to his detractors. “I love Argentina and I want it to always win! I shouldn’t have to idolize whoever you want. I have my tastes. I admire Cristiano Ronaldo. What would be the problem? False patriots! Chauvinists! “he once wrote on his Twitter account.

Recently, Liberman He also ignited social networks by having a cross with none other than Ibai Llanos, a famous Spanish streamer, who has millions of followers on Twitch and YouTube, and who in recent months has become close to Lionel Messi.

“Enough of this kid because he has a lot of followers. Also this Ibai is a liar. He has talked about me and the boy is lying… I don’t know if he can debate with me. I don’t know what capacity he has, or how many books he read. I do not know if intellectually he is at my height “, he expressed.

– The time he retracted with Gareca –

As well as the cases mentioned, there are many more in which the former Fox Sports host was involved in controversies with various football characters. With Ricardo Gareca, coach of the Peruvian team, was no exception.

It is very difficult for Martín Liberman to retract his criticism. But with the ‘Tiger’ he did. After the Argentine coach managed to return to Peru for a World Cup after 36 long years, his continuity in the ‘Blanquirroja’ was questioned.

For Liberman, Gareca no longer had anything else to do with the Peruvian team. However, the experienced strategist renewed his agreement with the FPF and his successes continued. For this reason, the ‘Colorado’ made mea culpa.

“I have to admit and make a guilt that after the World Cup in Russia, I thought that Gareca no longer had to do anything else in Peru … ‘Flaco’ himself shows me that he was wrong, because he reached two semifinals of the Copa América followed “, he acknowledged on his official YouTube channel.
