How the clash between Ricardo Caruso Lombardi and Aldo Leiva began
During his participation in A Dos Voces, Ricardo Caruso Lombardi analyzed the performance of the Argentine National Team and stated that, despite qualifying, the team led by Lionel Scaloni still has aspects to correct.
When the political segment of the program began, deputy Aldo Leiva questioned the former coach and stated: "Caruso is just blowing smoke, he has always coached B teams and now he is waiting for Argentina to be eliminated to say he was right."
Caruso Lombardi's response
After hearing the statements, Caruso Lombardi returned to the studio, took a microphone, and directly responded to the legislator.
"Who did you beat? Who knows you?", retorted the former coach, which led to an increasingly tense exchange. Leiva responded again with another insult: "Why didn't you go coach abroad? Because no one wanted to take you."
The exchange escalated
Instead of lowering the tone, Ricardo Caruso Lombardi continued with new jabs and said: "If I see you, I'll ask for a Coke. You look like a waiter."

The discussion continued with cross accusations. "You live off the state. Work for the country, lazy. I worked 34 years in Argentine football," expressed Caruso Lombardi.
How the discussion ended
As both continued to interrupt each other and raise the tone of the conversation, the host of A Dos Voces decided to end the exchange.
