The Dock Sud parodied the Riestra with the military training of its archers and found itself at the center of a controversy

The world of football incorporates a new actor with an increasingly leading role. He is, nothing more and nothing less, than the community manager. For the unaware, their job is to provide content to the institution’s official social networks. And the more creative the post added, the greater the impact (translated into clicks). Even if sometimes the shot fails.

In the first days of January, Deportivo Riestra’s “military pre-season” stole all the flashes.

From the networks of Víctor Stinfale’s club they showed how the players of the newly promoted team started working at 3 in the morning and did so continuously until ten in the evening.

As explained later by the coaching staff, military training would help players overcome adverse situations that could occur during the Professional Championship.

Now, the one who showed a similar pre-season on their social networks was Dock Sud. Even if the tone of the post was more of a chicane against the “Los Malevos” team.

“We don’t get up at dawn or train in a bowling alley…”, we read on the Twitter of Sportivo Dock Sud, which shows the active work of the goalkeeper coach at the military base in Río Segundo, Córdoba. “

“We are always at the top”, continues the post, accompanied by the hashtags “#PreparadosParaLaGuerra” and “#VamosDocke”.

The post did not go unnoticed and sparked comments of all kinds. Of locals and strangers. “Which of the spookiest teams,” said one of the users. “Smoke sellers,” wrote another, saying they were smoke sellers. And some were wittier: “Tell me, in what situation in a football match will you have to dodge a plane to save a free kick?“.

But the strongest criticism came for comparing football to war.

Faced with the impact of the assignment, Docke’s coach decided to add his word: “We concluded an excellent pre-season, together with my technical staff we are grateful for the efforts of the management, players and staff. We worked in an incredible way where the team gave 100%. We are far from connecting football to war with my coach,” said Matías Córdoba.

Given the possibility that his work would lose its seriousness, the coach ended the discussion like this: “We are of the culture of work, of correction, of providing the player with tools so that his growth helps the team and this takes a large percentage of the our work.” “It’s our ways and we forget other things that are part of the folklore between the clubs,” Córdoba said as if to distance himself from the situation.

Dock Sud’s clarification, after the post

“We appreciate, as we have done throughout the preseason, the professionalism with which our technical staff, led by @matiasjcordoba, works and has worked during the stay in Río Segundo, as can be seen in every story and publication uploaded to our networks, ” begins Release of Dock.Sud.

“We mention it to clarify the Tweet in which we see our goalkeeping coach working for our networks and which simply represents humour. Work, humility and sacrifice are the values ​​we always carry as our flag.”
