While debating what the tie between Boca and River was left in the last superclassic, Oscar Ruggeri and Diego Latorre met ugly at the table of the Espn FC program. Although the differences of both with respect to their football thinking are marked (the Cabezón is known to be a staunch defender of Carlos Bilardo while the commentator is a confessed Menotist) the pike was much more noticeable in the live discussion.
It all started with a bad side in the defense of River that ended with Boca’s second goal. There, Latorre said that “there is an analysis that is too cold and on the field it is not so. The footballer does not have much time in the game to think ‘oh no, I don’t have to go to the side'”. Ruggeri did not let him continue and interrupted him to say that “if you lose your papers in the game you cannot have this shirt.”
“But Oscar, in the 86 World Cup they headed you twice in the small area, they are things that happen,” replied Gambetita, and the Big Head went for more: “But what does that have to do with doing a wrong winger? Did you? Did you do a lot of wingers or did you wait for them to give you the ball? “
“Sometimes we watch the game in a way that is too amateurish or too cold and we do not put ourselves in the minds of the players who play every three days, who have a lot of pressure, who play a River-Boca,” explained Latorre until the former captain of The Argentine National Team interrupted him again: “Stop, stop. Having a little kid come and things happen to him is one thing, but Enzo Pérez played a World Cup. How can you tell me that the players can’t stop? Are you winning and Are you going to get the side out quickly?
“The over-analysis makes us see football on a pedestal and everything is theory, so on the field nothing can happen that we suppose will happen, so we are always looking through the magnifying glass and saying ‘this guy can’t be wrong’, Latorre argued, and Ruggeri couldn’t bite his tongue: “Are you talking to me? Because we were inside a field. This is crazy. “
