David Faitelson, a reporter for the TUDN network, was on the verge of causing the Cruz Azul coach, Joel Huiqui, to leave this sports channel without an interview after winning the Clausura 2026 tournament title due to some criticism that the journalist made against the cement strategist.

Just as happened six months ago with Antonio Mohamed, who had a very high temperature crossing, to the extent that the Toluca coach did not want to talk to David Faitelson and ended up chatting with the network to end up complaining in the middle of the broadcast about the insinuations of the reporter who questioned his ethics and morals.

The journalist questioned the coach's decision to sit goalkeeper Hugo González in the decisive match, calling the action “infamous” and stating that Mohamed lacked “ethics and morals.”

The journalist's criticism generated a tense altercation that escalated to insults and almost came to blows, where Mohamed, at the end of the duel where they beat the Tigers, challenged him to discuss it in person, to which Faitelson agreed.

Faitelson later revealed that the strategist threatened to headbutt him, insulted him and warned that he would not give interviews to the Televisa network again as long as he was still there. In response, Faitelson described him as a great coach, but with a “primitive” attitude similar to that of a “brava brava.”

As in the Apertura 2025 final, when Antonio Mohamed refused to talk to said network due to the annoyance caused by Faitelson questioning his “ethics and morals”, now the cement coach refused to talk to him, although without making clear the reason for the annoyance.

Now, this week, Faitelson published a comment on the social network

This version was revealed in the podcast '''Off The Record', which he shares with Mauricio Ymay and Miguel Herrera, the controversial journalist gave details of what happened in Ciudad Universitaria, where he was once again at risk of being involved in a scandal, just as happened with El Turco.

"Huiqui was a little upset; I just talked to him openly. On Sunday he didn't want to... When they told him ''come closer to TUDN'', for the second consecutive final, the champion coach doesn't want to go," Faitelson explained.

But now his broadcast and “Off The Record” broadcast partner, Mauricio Imay, who was also involved, prevented Huiqui from leaving them out of the interviews and went with cameras and microphones to where the Cruz Azul coach was.

“Now he has resolved it, the cameras are going there, that's where Faitelson stays and to hell with it,” added the colleague of the controversial commentator who ended up interviewing the cement workers' coach.

Later, Faitelson himself explained the reasons for the Celeste Machine strategist's anger: "I made a mistake. There was a rumor invented in bad faith, in the sense that they wanted to take credit away from what he had done. But the reality, listening to the players, the influence it had on changing that condition of defeat, of the heavy atmosphere that existed, must be given credit," he concluded.
