500 Portuguese with the “extreme hard” invaded Spain. It was the fault of an old

This weekend, the small and placid city of Jerez de Los Caballeros, in Extremadura (Spain), was invaded by hundreds of Portuguese, with the motto “Extreme Dura”. The guilt? It was from an old woman.

O Podcast false slows Last Saturday, more than 500 Portuguese unoccupied to Jerez de los Caballeros.

Context? Need… and a lot. The Fake Slow Podcast, sponsored by Bwin, started in 2021, when the betting house gave name to the Portuguese Football Championship. Now, who is unaware of him will say, “Well, it’s just another podcast talking about football.” But no. Fake slow ones go beyond football (and often don’t even get there).

Since then, every Monday (in sports competition), the humorists Carlos Coutinho Vilhena, Diogo Batáguas e Manuel Cardoso They gather the faithful listeners well.

Unfortunately, the three interveners have been beaten by “semi-medical” conditionsin each season.

Two years ago, for example, it was Roger Schmidt’s fault. Went to arrive (Benfica), see, win and leave Manuel Cardoso with “Garimpa A”.

Last year, the portista Diogo Batáguas was corrosive And much contributed to the toxicity of Portuguese football.

This year, Carlos Coutinho Vilhena came back deeply ecstaticdue to Viktor Gyökeres football. The correct expression and spread by them is “full of strength and with a stick.” Little did he know he was going to end the “extreme hard”…

But in the order of the day is another protagonist: John the Baptist – Norly known as “Old” – and the guilty of an even greater disease: the Love Hair Jerez CF.

John the Baptist is the producer of the podcast. Always much challenged by humorists, won the affection of all listeners.

Not the end of 2024, this sweet voice producer and a tender posture He was unfairly leaned against the trio of comedians for being lacking one of the episodes. But there was a good justification for that. John the Baptist had not died. I had been at a family lunch with some uncles I had not seen for many years. Were emigrated in Jerez “of the riders or there what it is”.

“What is that from Jerez de Los Caballeros, O Old?”

The team confronts him again by questioning what was “this from Jerez de Los Caballeros.” And the old woman explained: a small town with just over 9,000 inhabitants (whose name João Batista was unable to pronounce at the time)belonging to the province of Badajoz, in Extremadura, Spain.

Justification given. Laughs. “This is an invented land, it doesn’t exist,” took Diogo Batágues. And the subject died. Or so it seemed…

In the next episode, without anyone being predicting and taking advantage of Christmas, Diogo Batáguas appeared on the program with four sweatshirts of the club of that city: the Jerez CF, from the Spanish fifth division.

The Almadense humorist, but affecting FC Porto, justified that the group needed a club to unite them. AND Christmas was the ideal time for communion.

Benfica, Sporting, FC Porto, intrigues of Portuguese football apart… From then on, what was interested in that program was something greater: the union around Jerez CF.

The enthusiasm (driven by the listeners) was so much that this movement arrived in the ears of the Spanish club leaders, who invited the delegation of slow fake for the game against Montijo (from Spain) in their stadium Manuel Calzado Galvánon April 12th.

What they would probably not be waiting for is that the delegation of false slow are the humorists, the producer, the “lord of the bus” and the listeners.

Result: 500 Portuguese with “Extrema Dura”

In recent months, podcast aficionados have been preparing the big day.

Anyone who intended to go to the official slow bus bus had applied for categories that met the requirements that humorists needed to secure a safe trip: “one does everything”, “a doctor”, “a woman”, “a cheerleader”, “a fluent in Spanish”, “a storyteller”, etc.

Or I stay from Malta, from north to southwho was unable to seat in the ‘Big Bus’, organized himself in cars and buses to go to Jerez de Los Caballeros.

Zap was on the bus that left Lousada at 6:15 am Saturday and accompanied the excursion that also collected supporters in Porto and Águeda towards south of Spain, for about 8 hours (always singing).

Never missed genic… nor farnelof course.

The arrival at “Monumental” Manuel Calzado Galván was at 15:30 Spanish – two and a half hours from the beginning of the game.

All in place? No… There was still someone left… Diogo Batáguas, who didn’t catch the bus with his colleagues.

And unexpectedly, the moment fans begged for the presence of the southern bank humorist, here is one of the most beautiful coincidences of the afternoon. “D. Sebastião da false slowness appeared”.

Now yes, everything in place. Procession to the stadium to see the ball.

Never the humble Manuel Calzado Galván had seen the same as the same.

“Against the marching cannons, march! Strength Jerez!”

During the 90 minutes, and not disregarding the quality of the Extremadura regional stars, the show was manifestly better in the benches than in the field. 0-0 was the end result.

At the end of the game, the four initial protagonists descended the lawn and the Jerez CF put the Portugal anthem, to thank “such a beautiful madness“as they described.

Despite the invasion of Spain, This party was not (only) “wow”. In a makeshift ‘mixed zone, The little angel He told Zap that he is not from Barça, or Real Madrid or Atlético… It’s really from Jerez (seriously!).

The places were not jealous and even honored that they could share Jerez’s spirit and soul with the Portuguese on a different day, which certainly will be for the history of Iberian football.

This Monday, the sports newspaper highlighted the Portuguese adventure in Extremadura-and increases the number of adventurers to 600.

After the game, the Party continued in Spain (but in Portuguese). The direction of Jerez CF prepared the facilities to receive their “Portuguese friends” with paella e Bocadillos Free, a lot of beer, music and good mood.

My house is your house It became a reality.

Portugal has the “extreme hard”.

Thank you, old.
