The fuse is lit and “El Brujo” Morales has already taken out the cauldron! The most recent episode of Los Jefes, a Nueva Network and QuéOnnda production, has unleashed an earthquake in the run-up to the Grand Finale.
Under the baton of the controversial Álvaro Morales, the hottest table of podcasts in the U.S. got to debating: Is Efraín Juárez the new “King Midas” of Mexican soccer or has he simply had luck on his side? According to the controversial host, Efraín Juárez has already done the impossible: take a Pumas team that, in Morales’ words, “was very bad” to a final.
Bench duel: Juarez vs. Wiki
The panel, composed of the experience of Dionisio Estrada, the irreverence of Juan Carlos Gabriel de Anda (His Majesty the King) and the counterpoint of Fernando Ceballos, analyzed the two faces of this Mexican final.
On the one hand, Juárez’s resounding success with the universitarios; on the other, Joel Huiqui’s inexperience at the helm of La Máquina.
“Efraín Juárez is going to shut the mouths of many who hated him,” said Morales, while “His Majesty” de Anda questioned whether the Pumas coach might not be “collecting bills” before his time.
The question remains in the air: Will he be champion or will he fall by the wayside like Andres Lillini?
Is Chivas “Kiko” or “La Chilindrina”?
True to his style, Álvaro Morales didn’t miss the opportunity to take a swipe at Chivas.
He compared the Rebaño Sagrado to “Kiko” (the spoiled child of the neighborhood who stays behind), which sparked a war of jokes with Fernando Ceballos, who was accused of being a “chiva-puma” for his support of Efraín Juárez after the elimination of the red-and-whites.
Among curious anecdotes, Fernando Ceballos recalled the moment when a dove “blessed” Juárez during an interview, a gesture that the coach took as a cabal.
Beyond luck, the table agreed on a name that should be the future of the Mexican National Team: Jordan Carrillo.
Experts say that, win or lose, Pumas must secure its jewel and its coach by preparing him for great things.
What will happen with Cruz Azul?
The debate also touched on the vulnerability of the cement board.
Engineer Velázquez made it clear that Wiki’s continuity depends on the title.
“If he is champion he stays, if not, perhaps he will be removed,” de Anda analyzed, also criticizing the fact that a team of Cruz Azul’s stature continues to be a “tenant” in other stadiums.
The episode is now available on QuéOnnda TV’s YouTube channel, where you can also listen to other titles promoted by QuéOnnda and Nueva Network, such as La Jugada Final.
Do you think Efrain Juarez is already the new King Midas of our league or does he need the trophy to prove it?
