The staging of the World Cup is impeccable. If only it were always like this. There are no replays while the match is in play. They take advantage of the breaks to replay goals, good chances, spectacular plays, or controversial actions. Football matches well broadcast with a singularity: the almost sacred appearance of Gianni Infantino. In a good handful of matches, at the tenth minute of each half, the FIFA president appears in the box, in a centered shot and slight low angle. Like a Roman emperor observing his feast. The instruction for the directors is very clear. Not even Leni Riefenstahl was so explicit nor did she have such obvious orders when it came to highlighting who holds power.

The life of Alberto Edjogo-Owono Montalbán (Sabadell, 1984) has always revolved around a ball. He defended the jersey of clubs such as Sabadell, Sant Andreu, Granollers, or l'Olímpic de Xàtiva, in addition to passing through Espanyol's youth football. He was also an international for Equatorial Guinea, his father's native land. He is now a television commentator for DAZN, where he broadcasts the best matches of the First Division. Edjogo has just published Heridas en la piel (geoPlaneta), a book where he reflects on racism in the world of football.

Sports broadcasting is losing one of its most beloved names, with a strong Barcelona accent. The DAZN platform connected yesterday with Juan Carlos Unzué's home so that the former goalkeeper and coach could announce that, after three seasons, he would stop doing his technical commentary on matches. The reason is the progression of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that he suffers from and that, at the current stage, causes him breathing difficulties and a greater than normal effort to be able to speak. "You have given me the possibility of watching the matches with this coach's gaze," Unzué explained. "I want to announce to you that, due to a respiratory limitation that makes me need more effort to speak, I think the time has come to stop commenting on DAZN matches, no matter how serious I know it is."
