Video: Gío Moreno on Gutiérrez vs Saja, "Teo pulled a gun, all ran" | OneFootball

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

The Colombian Giovanni Moreno, former Racing player, narrated step by step the day when 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 out that gun, they would have finished us in the locker room.”

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

Then, the former midfielder of the Colombian team continued: “El Chino kept saying ‘stand up coward’ until Teo replied: ‘They scored four goals against you and nobody says anything.’ I will never forget it. Then, El Chino started hitting him, I stood up and threw a flying kick, but I missed. And then he started hitting me, one punch cut my ear and the other my eyebrow.”

Finally, Moreno concluded: “Everyone got involved. We were cornered until Teo pulled out the gun and shouted: ‘Now yes, cowards, come one by one.’ No one stayed, they all ran out.”

A day after this episode, 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.
