The technical director of Deportivo Riestra, Cristian Fabbiani, spoke about the controversial debut of Iván Buhajeruk, also known as Spreen, against Vélez in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Fabbiani revealed that he had a conversation with Gabriel Heinze, coach of Vélez, to clarify the inclusion of this streamer in the game.
Fabbiani explained that they were asked to play with four substitutions and that Quinteros, the coach of Riestra, requested that Spreen have half an hour on the field. The former forward with experience at River also mentioned that the intention was to win the kickoff and cut quickly. He stated that they are happy to have drawn with the league leader and that they played on equal terms.
Regarding the statements of Braian Romero from Vélez, who called the situation disrespectful, Fabbiani commented that he and Romero have a good relationship, although he knew he would lose a substitution due to the inclusion of Spreen. In this regard, the coach stated that it was a matter of marketing, respecting Romero's opinion.
Fabbiani also revealed that he called Quinteros during the week leading up to the match to inform him about Spreen's participation and to assure him that it was not a disrespect towards Vélez. He specified that this situation was unique and that the streamer will not play in the team again. According to the coach, the collaboration with Spreen significantly contributes in terms of marketing for Deportivo Riestra.
