Gabriele Millito starred in one of the funniest moments of this weekend in Argentine football. One of those pearls that are worth saving to relive in some end-of-year recap with the best of the league.
The Argentinos Juniors coach has made every fan’s dream come true: heard the statement of a Bicho plate player and, after an amusing exchange, he made the modification desired by the fanatic.
What happened? With the match 1-0 in favor of Argentinos and after two changes of Union, the fan in question considered it necessary to enter a midfielder to contain the advance of Tatengue.
But he didn’t keep the idea to himself; on the contrary, he insisted on this with the coach. Milito, perhaps already tired of hearing the complaint, he turned and asked who he wanted to enter. To which the fan replied: “a steering wheel”.
Not satisfied with the answer, the marshal asked for the names: “Yes, but to whom”. And, after a back-and-forth fun, in which the pot player never gave it a name, Milito raised his thumb and a few minutes later made the intended switch.
“We are in a democracy, in total freedom. He asked me to hang up a flyer. And I turned around and said, ‘Great, I agree. Who?’. So we all feel like protagonists and participate in this construction of the game“Milito said funny at a press conference.
And he told more details of the exchange with the fan: “He didn’t give me names. ‘A steering wheel’ he told me. “Yes, I know, but to whom. That decision sometimes takes you a minute or two sometimes. People want now, now, now. ‘I’ll get you behind the wheel’. And we got behind the wheel “.
Of course, as Milito himself revealed, he did not comply with the request to the letter: “We put a striker behind the wheel, Nico Reniero”.
When asked if he liked the change, the DT replied with a laugh: “He didn’t piss me off, so he liked it there. But I do not know. But the complaints didn’t make fun of me. ”
The word of the fan
After the game, ESPN went to look for the fan who asked for the change and told how it was the back and forth with the DT: Unión had made two changes, with four forwards, and we didn’t stop anyone in the middle of the pitch. Put someone in the middle of the field, to Bittolo or someone. In fact, he later entered Alan Rodríguez “.
Finally, three minutes from the end, The Argentines scored 2-0 and both the fan and Gabriel Milito were satisfied with the victory.
