José María Caneda (74) has always been defined as a “catecto” or a “Cazurro”.
A tosque and flat man who in the mid-1990s was presiding over the miracle team of the Spanish league: the Sports Society Compostela.
With a ridiculous budget and a political relations of Alocada and Galaic, Caneda took the Santiagués team to hold the gaze to the ‘Romaarios’ and the ‘Rivartos.’
All this tagged bravuconers, green jokes and words finished on -iño.

From all over his anecdote catalog, the most outstanding took place in March 1996. After a series of previous verbal altercations between the two (Caneda came to call him “Bulle of meat with eyes”), the compos president was encountered with Jesús Gil
And Gil, at the chairman of Atlético de Madrid, at the headquarters of the League.
The Galician went accompanied by the manager of him, José González Fidalgo, while Gil did the same with his bodyguard.
In a moment, he climbed the tension: insults (“heap of shit”, “calamity”), attempts to pacification (“Presi, Presi!”) Offenses to the voters of Marbella (according to Gil) and, suddenly, a punch
From the owner of Imperious to Caneda that impacts in Fidalgo.
New screams, refriends and the intervention of bodyguards to separate balompedic managers.
All this, captured by the TV cameras and repeated ad nauseam in the chains of that pre-internet Spain.

After that, the compostela endured two more seasons in the first division, after which a precipitate began descent to the infoes that ended with the liquidation of the club in 2004. Caneda founded another, the Stellae campus, and acquired the name of SD Compostela for
The new combination, but after new problems abandoned the direction definitively in 2011.

Since then, Caneda has been appearing periodically on the occasion of diverse anniversaries.
Thus, on Tuesday, 25 years of the goal that scored Ronaldo Nazario at Compostela in the first season of the Brazilian striker with Barça.
A little one with which the player astonished the world and began to be seen as the best of the Orb.

To commemorate the date, the radiophonic program ‘The partidazo de Cope’ called Caneda to share your memories from that moment.
However, the former director preferred to talk about many other matters, starting with himself.

“If the bastards fly, I would not be on the floor,” he sentenced Juanma Castaño at a time.
On his subsistence form, he explained that this is based on “cheating,” and shared some issues that flutter about this matter: “They ask me: ‘Caneda, how many siblings are you?’ And me: 12. ‘
And they all live? ‘No: Live, I live only. The others work. ”
Or this one: “The other day asked me what she lived and answered: by chance.”

He also remembered his beginnings as a midfondist athlete and also as an artist: “As a young man, I dedicated myself to the comedy and made some representations at the Teatro Colón de Madrid.”

He also pointed out that he does not take a football field for a decade and he does not interest him too much on television either.
“I see Madrid nothing more, I do not see another,” he said.
“Now I see more pornographic movies,” he let go, for general breakdown.
Less grace made another of his richer comments: “In the end, what I said long ago turned out to be true, they asked me why they like soccer for women, because nobody had a professional female football. Well because they are
The ones you know the most of balls in the stadium “.

Regarding his colleagues, he remembered how, soon, he reconciled with Gil: “I was crying and said: ‘José María, we were shame.” Of course. But because we are two Cazurros. ”
Also the relationship of him with Real Madrid (“I had a chascle with Florentino with him a long time ago, but he is a good person”) and a general comment: “The presidents of now are stocked.”

He denounced persecution of different types: “politically, they went to burst, because they did not give me ‘silent,” he said.
And he spoke of the third power: “There was a judge who came and dared to criticize the whiskey. It was a chivas. And I said, Look, you can not be in this box. It comes to criticize when you are drinking hat.”
The result of that: “6,000 euros fine for having 300 more employees in the field. He was a bastard with legs.”

To finish, he remembered another meeting, supposedly quieter, in the same place as Gil’s aggression: “I told him the president of the League that we did not treat matters as we have to treat them because half of those who were there had the dear
At the hotel and did not think about the meeting. ”

“Out of the fuck I had, the one who truly treated me was Gil,” Caneda confessed in ‘El Contradazo’.
“Because he and I had a good relationship and we had much better after the mess. What happens is that Gil was very easy to use, and they used him the shift stars to get a television contract for them and the others gave us garbage
