Willy goes on air to defend Monterrey president Tato Noriega, saying nobody at the club — not Filizola, not the Fernández family, not Pedro Esquivel — has spoken to Noriega about leaving.

1. La Hora de Willie on RG La Deportiva opens on Friday April 10, 2026 with host Willy, Edu Torres, Mauricio Ponce, Barocio, Fer, and studio support from Benito previewing a busy Liga MX weekend. 2. Edu Torres leads the opening segment alongside Mauricio Ponce; Willy is the program's main personality and owner of the more provocative segments; Barocio is described as the team's 'containment midfielder' whose presence is missed when absent. 3. The episode's two main lines are the Liga MX weekend schedule analysis and a heated on-air confrontation over Club Monterrey president Tato Noriega's future and media ethics. 4. The schedule covers nine Liga MX matches over the weekend, with Tigres vs Chivas and Querétaro vs Necaxa simultaneously at 5 PM Saturday, Atlas vs Monterrey and Pachuca vs Santos simultaneously at 7 PM Saturday, and América vs Cruz Azul at 9:30 PM Saturday. 5. Hosts identify the Friday night Juárez vs Tijuana match at 9:06 PM as critical for Tigres: a Juárez win would push Tigres below eighth place, eliminating them from the Liguilla playoff positions. 6. Willy reveals that the Zancadilla sports column, the most influential gossip and insider column covering Club Monterrey, was created by Jorge Urdiales Jr. when he ran the sports section of a Guadalajara newspaper. 7. Miguel Ángel Arispe subsequently acquired and popularized Zancadilla in Monterrey, and all of its inside information came from club owner Miguel Ángel Garza and coach Tuca Ferretti, who were Arispe's compadres and primary sources. 8. Willy shares that Arispe was eventually pushed out of his position in circumstances described as unfair, and that a current court case is ongoing over this situation. 9. The current Zancadilla is written by Rubén Moreno, sports section director at Cancha newspaper and father of former Multimedios employees Diego and Alexis Moreno. 10. Rubén Moreno published on April 10 that Club Monterrey is 'in dialogue with Yayo de la Torre' as the primary candidate to replace Tato Noriega as club president — a story Willy describes on-air as a 'bajeza' (a low act). 11. Willy states publicly that none of the club's principals — Filizola, the Fernández family, or Pedro Esquivel — have spoken with Tato Noriega about his departure, and that Noriega 'continues as our president because we are in the middle of a tournament.' 12. Willy cites two prior fabrications by Cancha as evidence of the outlet's credibility problems: an AI-generated photo of Luis Miguel supposedly breakfasting with a local restaurateur that was published as real, and a false report that the UAE would replace Iraq at the World Cup. 13. Edu Torres responds that Tato Noriega's removal would not be purely a media fabrication: he argues Noriega failed to supervise coach Torrent's decision to eliminate mandatory player concentrations, directly enabling the Lucas Ocampos scooter incident. 14. Willy hints on air that Lucas Ocampos was 'in a particular condition' at the time of the scooter accident but declines to say explicitly what that condition was, saying it would be irresponsible. 15. Nico Sánchez's first act after replacing Torrent as head coach was to immediately reinstate player concentrations — a detail both Willy and Edu Torres acknowledge as implicitly validating the critique of Tato's oversight. 16. The debate extends to other rumored presidential candidates: Fernando Hierro, Luis Miguel Salvador, and Ricardo Peláez Jr. are described as openly campaigning for the role, though none have been confirmed in discussions with the club. 17. Willy also recounts producing a 2011 book 'La Grandeza del Monterrey' with permission from then-club president Don Jorge Urdiales and owner Pepe González Ornelas, who initially threw the prototype back saying 'don't call us a great club — we only have four titles.' 18. The tone is fast-moving and confrontational, mixing internal media gossip, sports journalism ethics, Liga MX match analysis, and workplace humor — including a Tim Hortons coffee run and banter about employee ID badges. 19. Club Monterrey fans, Liga MX media watchers, and people interested in Mexican sports journalism backstories will find the episode unusually candid and information-dense. 20. Listeners expecting structured sports preview content rather than extended insider media commentary and anecdote-driven conversation may find the episode's format unfocused.
