TVE prefer mediocrity: José Manuel Díaz tab for COPE

On several occasions we discussed the world of sports commentators and narrators in this blog, criticizing, for better or for worse, the work of people like Andres Montes, JJ Santos , Manolo Lama , etc and following the war in waves that began the dismissal of Paco Gonzalez de la Cadena SER and the subsequent landing of his team in the COPE . I think I'm right in saying that the three professional sports journalism's most respected and admired today in this country are, Carlos Martinez, for his particular style of narrating football on Canal +, Michael Robinson, for their comments on the parties of this channel Report excellent program and Robinson, and Jose Manuel Diaz, also known as the voice of the Premier by his great stories of the Premiership for three years in La 2 de TVE.

A year ago, TVE decided not to renew its contract with the Barclays Premier League, so we were not poor in the great game open in the afternoons of the weekend and the Premiership became part of the supply of Pay TV. My first thought after regret for losing parties in open Premier was well, at least take advantage to move to Jose Manuel Diaz to parts 1, Champions Cup, and selection. But, you see that TVE, like most public television, is a universe of cronyism and colegueos where the least important is the professional and human quality of its workers and the interests of its viewers.

To learn more about how "TV for all", I recommend you read the first part of an interview he gave Diaz double the Eurosport website , where from a distance giving have become unemployed, reveals how TVE point is totally corrupted, particularly the drafting of sports. How could they have let him go to one of the best storytellers of soccer in Spain? The answer is simple: Diaz dancing water not anyone in the office. Well, consider things that are already to hallucinate, the fact of having been in the position of having to tell a small television appearances in black and white!

Instead Diaz, TVE chose to stay with Sergio and Juan Carlos Rivero Sauca, two guys who do not have the slightest idea how to tell a football match. The concept of rhythm is an abstract notion that can not understand, either. Rivero Sauce and do not even know that there are players on the field, not a stranger Belarusian team, but those of any Spanish club. The first was made famous by renaming players while the latter is incapable of telling a party of his own name wrong selection without half a dozen times. Why TVE has these two guys doing Champions and selection rather than give the job to someone much more valid as Jose Manuel Diaz? Mysteries of offices ...

After becoming unemployed, as Diaz's own account in the second part of the interview , last season was found with individual scores by the SER and COPE who could not be realized until finally, it was Paco Gonzalez to put a firm proposal on the table for José Manuel Díaz joined the COPE. The SER has renewed its Carrusel Deportivo team with Manu Carreño Jose Antonio Ponseti captain and master of the new project, but Gonzalez has been ready to be their new home that is for me, with Carlos Martinez, narrator of the best football that exists in this country. With the madness that will live with eight of the nine horrochildren with one party, radios need good storytellers if they want to engage the audience.

Diaz made his debut yesterday in the station of bishops telling the first leg of Champions League qualifying round in which the Villarreal lost by the minimum at the Odense, a result that will force them to pick up the tie in El Madrigal. Playtime With centered Barça-Madrid was played later, Diaz was unable to tell the game with a regular rhythm. Hopefully that will give more ball in the future, because having a crack in the template and underutilized would be stupid even more than letting him go.
