"Move, Boedo, move!"
The song that San Lorenzo
fans usually sing
when the team does not show any reaction on the pitch has been heard at least a couple of times per game in the Nuevo Gasómetro for some time now.
And that is a symptom that things at the Boedo club are not going as everyone would like.
The start of the
League Cup
is negative, with one defeat and two draws and, above all, a performance that does not appear.
In recent days there has been a noise around the figure of
Ruben Darío Insua
that has soured the atmosphere in the Barça institution to such an extent that president
Marcelo Moretti
had to come out to clarify that the contract signed for two years will be respected.
What happens with the Galician?
Are you dissatisfied?
Do you feel little internal support?
Is he still untouchable for the people of San Lorenzo?
Could the lack of good results begin to weaken your back, something unthinkable until recently?
The figure of Insua does not seem to be in discussion for the majority of Barça supporters.
At least for now.
On the first date of this tournament he received a thunderous ovation from all four sides of a packed stadium in Bajo Flores.
More support than that, impossible.
However, something does not smell quite right, mainly on social networks, that little world in which many people take advantage of the opportunity to create controversies or destabilize behind anonymous profiles.
In the last few hours, Insua himself seemed upset by these issues that, according to him, already cross a limit.

"There are other links that are not related to the sporting aspect, that at the moment I don't really want to talk about and even less if they mess with my family as happened in recent weeks. As they are cowardly media, they don't give their names. That's why "I don't consume social networks. But since they don't have the fuel to mess with me, cowards always try to mess with your children," the DT shot on the
San Lorenzo de América
program .
It refers to the crossing that an anonymous user of the social network
X
had with his son Rodrigo.
This supposed fan, who hides under a fictitious name and who in his posts expresses support for the new leadership, made harsh criticisms of Insua and his son Rodrigo came out to respond.
Something similar had previously happened with Pamela, Gallego's daughter, and this same user.
In the same interview, the blue and red coach offered a phrase that seemed like an indirect message to the leadership: "Half seriously and half jokingly I told Pipi that they reinforced him more than me, ha."
Leandro Romagnoli is in charge of the Reserve (he renewed his contract) and has six new faces, some not as young as 26-year-old Maximiliano Zelaya.
Moretti, crow boss, came out to put cold cloths on so much
run run
.
"We support Insua with actions and words. I talk to him every day and he is happy with the work we did. When the results are not given one gets restless but we have to let them work. I have no doubt that the future will be better ", he expressed.
And he was blunt about the continuity of the coach: "We are going to respect Ruben's contract."
Moretti, along with Néstor Ortigoza, the member in charge of professional football, did not hesitate to offer Insua a two-year contract in the middle of the electoral campaign, something that was later signed on paper without too much thought.
"We have to support it, support it and wait
," they repeat in the brand new CD of this San Lorenzo, which is facing a tough classic against Racing this Friday at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
