“Why don’t they piss off Tinelli because he stole everything here?“. were the words of Ruben Dario Insua in response to the insults of the San Lorenzo audience, after the defeat against River Plate at the Nuovo Gasometro. The Galician he could not, or did not want, realize that the cameras were recording his statements with total clarity.
Twelve words, one sentence, the knot of history. Sunday afternoon, with those angry screams in the air that seemed to have no receiver, a spark went off. And from that spark was born the fire that raised the temperature by San Lorenzo de Almagro. The citation of the TV presenter against the DT to retract and Insua’s statements in front of the press dealing with Tinelli of “coward” meant two more chapters of this novel.
Clarione The origin of the conflict between Tinelli and Insua was anticipated this Monday. Apparently, the TV host took a personal vendetta with the technical director and left his two sons, who played in the Reserve, without a contract. Cyclone. This is what Insua ended up confirming, in a press conference full of bombs.
“He got mad at me for an episode. And I know. And I know. Because we had a mutual friend. So I know what he thinks of me. And he knows what I think of him. Too much importance to be mad at me. Yeah, since he messed with the people I love we will always be on opposite paths, ”said Gallego.
To complete the picture, we need to talk about the two co-stars who are missing from this story. Who are Insua’s two sons and how do they play? Did they have to play in the First Division? Didn’t they contract you for football reasons?
The champion team
In December 2015, San Lorenzo became Reserve Tournament champion after beating Belgrano with a goal by Roberto Insua, son of Ruben Dario. The team led by Claudio Biaggio scored 60 points thanks to 18 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. In addition, in 17 games he kept his enclosure unbeaten.
The Chimy Ávila, the current Osasuna player, was the top scorer of the champion team, with 6 goals. Further back, with a little less, the son of the GalicianRobertino, and Nicolás Reniero, another who left the Cyclone to continue his career in Racing and Argentinos Juniors.
As confirmed in Clarione some members close to the San Lorenzo youth formation, the players of that team “were trained to play in the First Division”. But no one, regardless of surname, was given the opportunity to make a career in the first team because the sporting project was another.
We have to go back to that time. In August 2014 San Lorenzo built the first one Libertadores Cup of America. The historic event took place under the leadership of Matías Lammens as president and Marcelo Tinelli as vice president. The Paton Bauza used experienced men and the sporting decision always seemed to be relying on reinforcements rather than promoting youngsters.
“None of the guys who became Reserve champions had a chance, everyone had to go elsewhere, other than that it was all a loss for the club because they didn’t charge passes,” says this person, who prefers not to be. publicly appointed.
Tomás Cardona (today in Defense and Justice), Ezequiel Montagna (today in Atlético Rafaela), Bautista Merlini (today in Libertad in Paraguay), Germán Berterame (today in Monterrey in Mexico), Lautaro Montoya (today in Sarmiento de Junín) are some of names that have not found a place in the First Division.
Who are the sons of Galician
Rodrigo Insua (24) born in 1997, he trained in the San Lorenzo youth divisions. He plays as a left midfielder. He is left handed, skilled, technical. At the bottom of the Cyclone was the replacement for Gabriel Rojas (today in Querétaro).
After being released in San Lorenzo, he had a stint in Boca, Aldosivi, Chacarita and is currently in Sports pool. In the first national team he played 30 games and scored 2 goals.
Roberto Insua (28) is category 94. He hitchhikes, is technical and skilled. He has a good pass and shot from mid-range. After becoming Reserve Champion (2015) he went on loan to Unión de Santa Fe.
In mid-2017 he returned to Cyclone, but not having a position in the First Division, he did not get a professional contract and was released. That season San Lorenzo acquired Víctor Salazar (from Rosario Central), Alexis Castro (Tigre), Gabriel Gudiño (Atlético Rafaela), Matías Vera (Nueva Chicago) and Gonzalo Rodríguez (free).
The truth is that Robertino’s time in professional football has not been great so far and even Argentina’s top clubs were not interested in acquiring his record.
At the beginning of 2018 he joined Bullfighters FC of the second category of Ecuador. In 2020 he joined Portoviejo Leaguecoincidentally in the year his dad coached that team, and then went through the Guayaquil city, from the same country. At the beginning of the year he joins the Miami United FC of the National Premier Soccer League, a semi-professional regional league in the United States.
