Alexander Fantinus distanced himself from his colleagues Mariano Closs Y Sebastian Vignolo after a fight in 2020. During the broadcast of “Neuramedia”the new program that the journalist does on Twitch, his partner asked him what he would do if he was summoned to travel to the Qatar World Cup with his colleagues and Fantino shot himself: “I would spit in the face of whoever proposed it.”
Surprised faces took over the table and Fantino he explained that he hoped he would have his own space to make those statements so no manager calls him into the office and asks him to tone it down. “Do you know why I spit in his face? Because of the hatred it would cause me. I spit what I feel in his face,” the driver released. He added, “That no one else in classic journalism like Mariano Closs tell me ‘this is football’.
The moment of Fantino’s insults:
He also dedicated a few words to Vignolo. Vignolo revealed on his show an anecdote about his student years. When quoting part of the song “Aurora” said “azululala” instead of “blue a wing”. This, strangely enough, was taken up by Fantino: “I want to clear it up before they come out with the headlines ‘Fantino smashed Vignolo in Neura’s first broadcast’. No, I’m talking about the Vignolo communication. Because, for example, making a joke that he didn’t know the words to “Aurora” and singing “Azulala” and taking it as a joke doesn’t seem funny to me.”
Fantino’s feud with his colleagues comes from 2020, after the broadcast of the match between Boca and Inter, for the Copa Libertadores. Fantino said that the football downturn that Boca showed against Inter was due in part to the fact that on the date that game was played it was the anniversary of Boca’s defeat against River, which is why they had lost the cup. Closs dismissed Fantino’s analysis saying that “he was analyzing football, not sensations.” “What does the date have to do with it?”, He retorted him then. “It has to do -Fantino insisted- with something unconscious, Mariano. He has to do with something unconscious that is not lodged in the self, in the here, in the conscious”. And the discussion escalated to the point today to maintain that enmity firm as at the end of that soccer day.
