After the controversy over his statements against Alejandro Garnacho, the DT did not appear at the press conference that the club had called and caused outrage in the media.
Colón will try to get his first victory so far in this Professional League when this Monday from 9:00 p.m. he receives Gabriel Heinze’s Newell’s in Santa Fe. And in the run-up to this important game for a Sabalero in serious soccer problems, the fight broke out against his coach, Néstor Gorosito, who left the journalists planted in the usual press conference the day before.
The Santa Fe journalists got angry and exposed their discomfort against Pipo on social networks. What happened? From the red and black club they had announced that the coach would speak this Sunday at 11 in the morning after the last weekly training session. However, Gorosito never appeared.
The local media were present at the “4 de Junio” property. There were chroniclers, photographers and cameramen. They settled in the room and waited for the DT. The minutes passed and the wait began to be long.
Colón’s press officer, Alicio Coronel, stayed with the journalists and tried to communicate with Pipo, although she never got a clear answer. After an hour and 45 minutes, they all agreed to leave the place, visibly annoyed by the loss of time.
A couple of hours later, after 3:00 p.m., Gorosito apologized through his Twitter account, @pipogorosito10: “Good afternoon, I apologize to all the journalistic media that appeared on our premises. There was a confusion where I am the most responsible. I apologize, it will not happen again, it is the first time it has happened to me.”
Criticism of the 58-year-old DT grew on social networks and accused him of disrespecting those who were working. Some even pointed to him for having taken it on a few days ago with the player Alejandro Garnacho for a controversial publication after Manchester United qualified for the next phase of the Europa League.
“You have to understand that it is a different generation from ours and that the guys for talking bullshit on the internet have 70 million followers, they don’t pay anywhere, they have German cars, for talking bullshit, it’s another generation and it seems like nonsense to me. If it’s one of my sons, I hit him on the neck with an open hand, but that’s how it is.”Pipo had expressed about 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.
To all this, the team will receive Newell’s this Monday to try to get out of last place in the table. The team from Santa Fe still could not win in the tournament: they have three defeats and three draws (the last two with Pipo already on the bench).
