From partners to enemies: the public feud between Kirchnerists Azzaro and Ducatenzeiler

After the end of El loco y el cuerdo, both broke all ties and exchanged ironies, reproaches, and even a block that, for now, closes the door to a possible return

After the end of "El loco y el cuerdo," the cycle that brought them together and sparked debates on social media, Andrés Ducatenzeiler and Flavio Azzaro went from camaraderie to open media warfare. With cutting remarks, WhatsApp blocks, and public reproaches, both aired the internal conflicts that ultimately buried any chance of sharing the screen again.

"He is never going to be president. You can be president of a condominium association, you can be president of the volunteer fire department. But the president is Duca," Ducatenzeiler fired, marking irreconcilable differences. In another segment, when rumors arose that Azzaro was influencing journalists to attack him, Flavio replied indignantly: "To think that I'm going to tell someone who works on my channel what they have to do… no, sir, no. Settle it among yourselves, you're adults."

The conflict escalated when Ducatenzeiler blocked Azzaro on WhatsApp: "Seriously, man? He blocked me? I can't believe it," Azzaro reacted, visibly surprised. According to him, he never had the chance to know the reason: "Surely he's upset about something. He doesn't give me the chance to ask him why, because I'm blocked."

He also clarified that the end of the show was not a joint decision. "He's the one who didn't want to continue and I understand that to a point, but then he shows certain behavior that I find hard to understand… he never answered me," Azzaro lamented.

Amid back and forth, the most recent episode emerged: the comparison Azzaro  made between Duca  and Auckland City. "This is like Boca against Auckland (referring to Duca), if you celebrate beating Auckland, you're in trouble. You have to beat Auckland," Flavio said, using the modest New Zealand club as a metaphor to discredit his former colleague's performance.

Meanwhile, Duca is linked to Carnaval, Azzaro continues to lead his own channel AZZ, focusing on personal content and hard-hitting interviews. What was once complicity is now a constant exchange of accusations: "I want, actually, I want to beat everyone, but what I want is for this to go well…," Azzaro said, trying to lower the tone, although the tension was already present.

Amid reproaches, irony, and soccer comparisons, the duel between the two ended up being stronger than the show that united them. The rift, judging by the tone of their words, seems definitive.
