Controversy with Pipo Gorosito: he shrugged at reporters in Santa Fe and had to apologize

Colón will try to get his first victory so far in this professional league when he will receive Gabriel Heinze’s Newell’s in Santa Fe this Monday from 21:00. And on the eve of this important match for a Sabalero in serious football problems, the fight broke out against his coach, Néstor Gorosito, which left the journalists planted in the usual press conference the day before.

Santa Fe reporters got angry and exposed their discomfort towards Pipo on social networks. What happened? The Rossoneri had announced that the coach would speak this Sunday at 11 in the morning after the last training session of the week. However, Gorosito never appeared.

Local media were present at the “4 de Junio” facility. There were reporters, photographers and cameramen. They settled into the room and waited for the DT. The minutes passed and the wait began to get long.

Colón’s press secretary, Alicio Coronel, stayed with reporters and tried to communicate with Pipo, although he never got a clear answer. After an hour and 45 minutes, everyone agreed to leave the place, visibly annoyed by the loss of time.

A couple of hours later, after 3pm, Gorosito apologized via his Twitter account, @pipogorosito10: “Good afternoon, I apologize to all the journalistic media who showed up at our premises. There was confusion in which I am primarily responsible. I apologize, it will not happen again, it is the first time this has happened to me”.

Criticism of the 58-year-old DT has grown on social media, accusing him of disrespecting those who worked. Some even blamed him for teasing him a few days ago with player Alejandro Garnacho over a controversial publication after Manchester United qualified for the next stage of the Europa League.

“You have to understand that it’s a different generation than ours and those who talk bullshit on the internet have 70 million followers, they don’t pay anywhere, they have German cars, to talk bullshit it’s another generation and it seems like nonsense to me. If it’s one of my kids, I hit him on the neck with my open hand, but that’s it.Pipo had expressed himself on Garnacho who, after eliminating Barcelona, ​​had written: “I pass the big team”.

For some, Gorosito spoke of Garnacho’s lack of respect, but after a few days he committed a lack of respect towards the journalists who waited for him for almost two hours in the conference room of the Colón property.

For all this, the team will receive Newell’s this Monday to try to get out of the last place in the standings. The Santa Fe team has not yet managed to win in the tournament: they have three defeats and three draws (the last two with Pipo already on the bench).
