Former striker Esteban 'Gallego' González questioned the dismissal of Damián Ayude, former manager of San Lorenzo, because 'he was the only one who grabbed the hot potato'. In an interview with Daniel Avellaneda for 'La Oral Deportiva' (Radio Rivadavia), González stressed that he is 'not at all in agreement with them having dismissed Ayude. He was doing very well with the youth team, which is why they gave him the position to manage the San Lorenzo first team'. Ayude was fired from San Lorenzo after the heavy defeat against Defensa y Justicia. In turn, he clarified that Ayude, who was dismissed after the Cyclone's heavy 5-2 defeat to Defensa y Justicia, 'was the only one who grabbed the hot potato when everyone else left. That is why we must respect people who love the club and who show their faces'. González, who played for San Lorenzo between 1994 and 1996 and won the Clausura 1995, also pointed to the players, as he considered that 'they should also have gotten together and said, 'we start with him when San Lorenzo was a wreck'. They should have been a bit more of a team and asked for him to stay'. 'Now who is going to come?'
