Alejandro Fantino criticized Fernando Gago after the defeat in the Superclásico

On Sunday River won the Superclásico against Boca 2-1, with goals from Franco Mastantuono and Sebastián Driussi. In that context, Alejandro Fantino, a confessed fan of Xeneize, opened his program on Neura with a forceful editorial, marked by anger after the defeat of the club he supports. The journalist was especially critical of the team's attitude and, in particular, of the tactical approach of Gago, who chose a line of five defenders to face the clásico.

"There is only one thing that is not forgiven in the Boca World: for the players to put in, which is not breaking a guy's tibia, it's having intensity. Boca doesn't have it. And also has a coach who is a terrible coward, speaking like in the neighborhood," Fantino shot.

He elaborated: "He's a coward with River. He coached 7 games and lost 6. He tied once with Racing and then always lost. He's a coward, he chickens out and starts with the explanations. Stop messing around, dude. Put 4-3-1-2 and if you don't have a playmaker put 4-4-2 and go forward."

Finally, he closed his comment with an even more direct criticism: "Going to defend as if it were, with all due respect, Unión de Santa Fe or Central Córdoba de Rosario. How cowardly can you be? That is not forgiven."

Ottodog's remark

When Fantino started talking about Juan Román Riquelme he tried to somewhat dissociate him from the issue, but his table companion made a very accurate statement. "That's how the K are, from a great country they make a slum, from a great club ...," he commented.

"Fanta" quickly asked him: "What does Riquelme have to do with it?," to which Ottodog replied: "It's an ideology, a way of being and living." The philosopher continued defending the Boca manager: "What did he do yesterday (Sunday)? Did Riquelme play the game yesterday? Did he shoot at the goal?" And his lawyer friend asked him back: "But who chose Gago? He chose him with Chelo and Cascini, with the Mate Council."
