In a recent episode of Magaly TV La Firme aired on July 24, host Magaly Medina discussed the reasons behind soccer player Jefferson Farfán’s refusal to interview with Paco Bazán. According to Medina, Farfán is apprehensive about facing Bazán due to his experience and skill in the television industry.
To support her claims, Medina showcased a comedic segment titled "Enchocolatados," which paid homage to Farfán’s show. In this segment, the former goalkeeper defended himself and joked with the comedians, pretending to have participated in an interview promised by Farfán if he reached a specific number of subscribers on YouTube.
Medina emphasized Farfán’s ability to handle tough situations, stating, "He is outspoken and doesn’t hold back. This is because of his street smarts gained from years in various television sets." Despite his talent in handling pressure, Farfán reportedly fears Bazán’s extensive career in journalism. "Farfán is concerned that if he confronts Bazán, who has far more experience in this medium, he will come off worse," she noted.
Medina expressed skepticism about whether Farfán would ever accept an invitation from Bazán for an interview, noting the significant gap in their professional backgrounds.
Recently, Farfán stirred controversy on his YouTube program Enfocados. He not only criticized Bazán’s career but also questioned his acting and television hosting abilities. The debate escalated when Farfán publicly dismissed the idea of inviting Bazán onto his podcast, triggering a wave of backlash against the former soccer player.
During a segment where he asked his guests for their opinions on Bazán’s various professions, the unanimous response was negative. Farfán made comparisons to other well-known sports commentators, implicitly belittling Bazán and dismissing him as an unworthy competitor.
This entire situation continues to draw attention on social media, stirring discussions among fans and followers about the dynamics between the two public figures. As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the two will ever face each other in a more formal interview setting.
