“Come on, monkey, I’ll write it”he said without hesitation every time some news appeared at inopportune hours. Simple, without detours, with a craft carved by dint of tireless closures, Juan José Marónhe Chinoas everyone knew him, left his mark on the newspaper Olé and in the graphic branch of sports journalism. He was 48 years old and this Thursday, after fighting a brave battle against a cursed cancer, he died. It is too complex not to cry. He leaves as a legacy his texts and the great moments he knew how to build with his colleagues and his family.
El Chino Marón was one of the founding members of Oléwhere he later was a chronicler, editor and publisher. A man of William Morris and a graduate of the Circle of Sports Journalists, he was passionate about football – he played it as well as he told it – and literature – he studied Literature -. He was also a Pindapoy fan.
Owner of irreverent prose, he began to show himself when he covered champion Vélez in 1998 with Bielsa as coach. With El Loco he knew how to cultivate, based on respect, a very close relationship – he always asked him to finish his degree.
Later, in 2001, he joined the group that counted the coronation of Racing, his Racing, which with Mostaza Merlo ended a 35-year streak without Olympic laps. Then he specialized in the National Team. in the times when Bielsa was the coach. And he was one of the leaders in the area of international football.
Marón was one of the driving forces behind the writing of Ole. Over the years he had become a counselor for the younger ones, whom he cared for like his children, his great weakness. With his departure – too premature – one of the essentials in an editorial office left. Always ready to solve a problem. Always ready to throw in a joke that would help make everything easier.
