"Don't ask me to nod, I'll tell you from now on."
That phrase became popular in the 90s thanks to a Fútbol de Primera advertisement in which a player showed how he took care of his hair in the face of technological advances in broadcasting.
It drew attention because hair and ball, beyond the scissors that Daniel Passarella tried to impose as coach of the National Team, do not usually have much to do with each other.
However, everything comes back.
And the planets of styling and sports crossed again.
The scene happened during Ascenso, which usually offers iconic and curious moments that happen outside of the 90 minutes of the match. Those responsible were the
Chaco For Ever
fans in their attempt to make the wait for last Saturday's duel against
Deportivo more bearable.
Morón,
for the third date of the First National.
What idea did they have?
Nothing better than starting a talk with
Gallito's physical trainer
about hair care.
Yes, incredible but real.
The issue took place when the GBA West team went out onto the field to warm up.
That was when a mane of blonde hair, extremely cared for, appeared and took all the attention of the spectators by dazzling them with its bright color.
It was the hair of
Guillermo Crudo
, assistant to the coach, Fabián Nardozza, and goalkeeper coach, whom the fans who had already entered the stadium did not hesitate to ask him to approach the fence so that he could reveal to them the
secret that allowed him to keep her hair intact and even with a youthful style
.
"
I always comb my hair down and it's already straight
," commented Crudo, the club's former historic goalkeeper, far from being offended by the question, while the Chaco people remained silent and dedicated themselves to listening carefully to the personalized advice they were receiving.
"
It looks divine," complimented the viewer
who recorded the conversation about the blonde lady with his cell phone.

"What do I also do to myself?
There is a product called chamomile, which is for light hair
," Crudo added while, at the same time, he watched the Morón players perform pre-competitive exercises.
"
It happens that we use soap powder
," replied a fan in response to the secret that the visiting coach revealed to them.
"
Chamomile!
" he remarked while gesturing with his hands with which he held a stack of cones.
His interlocutors did not know the "magic" product.
However, another of the fans decided to completely change the topic of conversation when he asked Crudo for a ball.
"If in the match against Defensores de Belgrano (defeat of Morón 4-0) they threw everything out," another of the fans said after the Gallito man rejected the request.
Long live football and chamomile!

Rooster's warm-up ended up being effective.
Beyond those seconds of distraction caused by the stylistic curiosity of the local fans,
Deportivo Morón ended up beating Chaco For Ever 2-0
and once again got into the top eight in their area that qualified for the playoffs for promotion.
The recording of the conversation went viral
on social networks, where they did not hesitate to also take the situation with humor.
They even began to find similarities with Crudo.
"
Long live football and chamomile
."
"
He is equal to Bambino Veira
."
"
A combination of Gatti and Veira
", "
At first glance I thought it was Gareca
", were some of the comments.
The Ascenso matches, in short, are not only an inexhaustible source of refereeing controversies.
They also deliver this type of situations that will remain in everyone's memory.
