Have you ever said, 'Man, how I screwed up, I don't know, asking this
question'?
It happened to me with Rodrigo de Paul. I was at the World Cup—
No, Copa América. Copa América Brazil.
So I was alone, and I like to bring key figures together.
I mean, I see all of you and I try not to
do just one interview, but to bring
many together.
More of a group thing.
So I was with Rodrigo doing the interview, I was alone with the cameraman, there
was no producer because it was a, a rights-holding area.
I wanted to bring Agüero in, they were two generations, Rodrigo's,
who was arriving today already
established, like how to bring him together now with Nico Paz.
And Sergio comes along, I try to call him over and Rodrigo interprets it
as me leaving the
interview with Rodrigo, when actually it was to have them join.
And Twitter destroyed me, and I… I felt terrible.
It makes me, me, me feel bad—
It distresses you, obviously.
Because I don't live off that. And every now and then it gets rehashed, and well, nothing,
to say that
then Rodrigo passes by and, and it's the same relationship as always, and with
all the
players it's the same, but at that moment I suffered a lot
because I don't live with it.
In fact, in my 40-year career it's happened to me very
little.
The other day it happened, not with me, but Rodrigo was being interviewed
and he says, "Look, Leo is coming, and you'll have to interrupt it," with me
he told a journalist.
They do it anyway, you know?
Because they really own the place now.
I mean, the Rodrigo that I, at the time, wanted
to interview was a Rodrigo who was going down that
path, you know? Now he lives from a different place,
because today he's in the inner circle, he's the
a key figure in the national team or one of the leaders of the group, so, yeah,
it was one of the moments that distressed me the most in my career.
And did you speak with Rodrigo after that?
Yes, yes, yes. The next day I met up with him, don't worry, because I had just
taken a photo the day before.

¿Te pasó alguna vez de decir: "Che, cómo la pifié, no sé, haciendo esta pregunta"? Me pasó con Rodrigo de Paul. Yo estaba en el mundial- No, Copa América. Copa América Brasil. Entonces yo estaba solo y a mí me gusta juntar protagonistas.
Es decir, los veo a todos ustedes y trato no de hacer una sola nota, sino juntar a muchos. Más grupal. Entonces estaba con Rodrigo haciendo la nota, estaba solo con el camarógrafo, no
había productor porque era una, un lugar de derechos. Quise juntarlo a Agüero, eran dos generaciones, la de Rodrigo, que llegaba hoy ya consolidado, de cómo juntarlo ahora con Nico Paz. Y viene Sergio, lo trato de llamar y Rodrigo interpreta
que yo estoy dejando la nota con Rodrigo, cuando en realidad era sumarlos. Y el Twitter me liquidó y yo... yo estaba mal. A mí me, me, me pone mal- Te angustia, obvio.
Porque no vivo de eso. Y cada tanto se refrita y bueno, nada, decir que después pasa Rodrigo y, y es la misma relación de siempre y con todos los jugadores lo mismo, pero en ese momento yo lo sufrí mucho
porque no convivo. De hecho, en cuarenta años de carrera me pasó muy poco. El otro día pasó, no conmigo, sino que Rodrigo estaban haciéndole la entrevista y dice: "Mirá que viene Leo, y vas a tener que interrumpirla", conmigo
le dijo a un periodista. Ellos lo hacen igual, ¿eh? Porque ya son muy dueños del lugar. O sea, el Rodrigo que yo en su momento quise hacerle era un Rodrigo que iba por ese
camino, ¿entendés? Ahora vive de otro lugar, porque hoy es la mesa chica, es el referente de la selección o uno de los referentes del grupo, así que nada, fue uno de los momentos que a mí más me mortificó como, como carrera. ¿Y después de eso hablaste con Rodrigo?
Sí, sí, sí. Al otro día me, me junté, quedate tranquilo, porque yo venía de sacarme el día anterior una foto.
