Video: Gío Moreno on Gutiérrez v Saja fight, Teo pulled a gun | OneFootball

The Colombian recounted IN DETAIL what happened after Racing’s 4-1 defeat to Independiente in the Avellaneda derby.

The Colombian Giovanni Moreno, former Racing player, gave a step-by-step account of the day his compatriot Teófilo Gutierrez pulled out a gun in the locker room after a fight with Sebastián Saja, following a 4-1 thrashing by Independiente in 2012: “If he hadn’t pulled that gun, they would have finished us off in the locker room.”

Moreno began: “Teo had been sent off and was already in the locker room (he had scored the first goal, but was shown the red card in the 67th minute). When Saja arrived, he came in ready to fight and said to him: ‘I’m sick of you, it’s always the same with you, you’re playing with my family’s money.’ And Teo was standing there with his arms crossed.”

Then, the former midfielder for the Colombian national team continued: “Chino kept saying ‘stand up, coward’ until Teo replied: ‘You conceded four goals and no one says anything to you.’ I’ll never forget it. Then Chino started hitting him, I got up and tried a flying kick, but I missed. And then he started hitting me, one punch cut my ear and another my eyebrow.”

Finally, Moreno concluded: “Everyone got involved. We were cornered in one part of the locker room until Teo pulled out the gun and shouted: ‘Now, cowards, come at me one by one.’ No one was left, everyone ran out.”

A day after this incident, which ended with police intervention, Alfio Basile resigned from his position as coach of La Academia, while Gutiérrez left Avellaneda in the next transfer window.
