On November 1, 2026, in a Liga MX match between Santos and Necaxa, the Necaxa coach Juan Reynoso substituted the striker Juan Valencia and then scolded him sharply at the bench. Television cameras then showed Valencia on the bench, crying, with his jersey over his face. Publimetro ran the story under the words “Escándalo en Necaxa” (Scandal at Necaxa).
Reynoso then explained himself. “Quería, levantándole la voz, que reaccione y no se sienta culpable” (By raising my voice, I wanted him to react and not to feel guilty). He added: “Juanito es un muchacho espectacular” (Juanito is a spectacular young man).
