Buenos Aires, Feb 1 (NA) -- Forward Luciano Vietto made headlines Saturday night by posting a story aimed at ESPN. The San Lorenzo striker did this a few hours after his debut against Central Cordoba, posting a provocative image on his Instagram account to fulfill a promise he had made after a dispute with the media over comments about his physical condition, according to the Argentine News Agency. The image, uploaded from his official account (@lucianovietto), shows him smiling in front of a lit grill, shirtless, in orange shorts and white flip-flops. In a previous story, he had insulted and warned that he would post a photo 'in his gear,' a promise he ultimately kept. The post quickly garnered thousands of views and received the backing of numerous San Lorenzo fans, who celebrated the forward's attitude upon his return to Argentine football. The background of the controversy originated before the match at the Nuevo Gasometro, when the SportsCenter (ESPN) account posted a photo of Vietto warming up with the caption 'Will he make his debut?'. In his hands, he holds a wooden board with large cuts of raw meat, apparently steak or ribs, ready to be cooked, in a postcard that quickly went viral. The photo Luciano Vietto posted. The framing of the image and the tight-fitting clothing generated comments on social media about his physical condition, a situation that bothered the football player. Hours later, as midnight approached, Vietto reacted harshly and pointed directly at the media.
