The issue of Isco and journalism

You already know the history of Isco and his clash with Diego Torres.

The El Pais journalist asked him a question in a press conference, a football issue.

However, the response from the Real Madrid player wasn't a good one.

"Look, I'm not going to answer you because in the end, whatever I say, you're going to put whatever you want in the newspaper," he said.

"That's for everyone, we need help from the outside, we don't need people who are hitting us with sticks continuously."

I always thought that these situations, these clashes between the professional player and the journalist, should be resolved in private.

They shouldn't be great shows where applause is then given but in this era of humanity, where some are so high on feelings of derision like social media, good education doesn't seem so relevant.

In these kinds of situations, Isco is a repeat offender.

He already did it with Juanma Castano.

I'm not saying though that what he does means that he shouldn't have a reason to raise his voice.

I detest the false corporatism that makes us infallible every time something similar happens.

As the union comes to help us, it seems that we have done everything right but the journalists are not untouchable.

We fail and sometimes, we write and say things that aren't correct.

We throw ourselves into the pool at times, engage in hearsay and both hit and miss.

The players can then make their own minds up on what we do or do not do.

Torres had his say after the World Cup, when suggesting that Isco was a scourge for the national team.

He did it is an informative piece, not an opinion one (which isn't the same) and the player waited for his turn to respond.

But Isco, who can say whatever he wants, like Torres can write whatever he likes (without questioning the work of his colleagues) is wrong about the role of the press.

We are here to tell the public what is happening, for better or worse, and interpret what is happening and give our opinion, respecting everyone.

The football player must understand that.

But the journalist must know what we are not gods either whose word is worth everything.
