Argentina won its third World Cup after defeating France in the final. The team led by Lionel Scaloni was more effective in the penalty shootout and had Lionel Messi as its main figure. Although different journalists highlighted the good level of all the players and the coach's strategy to win the cup, there were others who claimed the championship.
This is the case of Spanish Juanma Rodríguez, who is a panelist on the program "El Chiringuito". Before the semifinals, the communicator attacked the Albiceleste and asked Croatia and France to defeat the South Americans. However, now he claims that it was all a strategy for Argentina to win the cup, so he claims the World title for himself.
"I knew I had to bring out what they had inside, as they had gone 36 years without achieving it. In the end, thanks to me, also a little to Lionel Messi, but mainly thanks to me, Argentina has given me the World Championship on my birthday," he mentioned in a video.

"This summer I will be in Buenos Aires, signing my next book titled 'How I Made Argentina Become World Champions'. Thank you all. In the end, it's thanks to me, they have to acknowledge it," Juanma Rodríguez concluded.
