Luciano Vietto captured the attention of social media this Saturday night after his debut wearing the San Lorenzo jersey against Central Córdoba. The striker used his official Instagram account to send a direct message to the ESPN channel, following a controversy sparked by comments about his physical condition.
The controversy arose during the warm-up at the Nuevo Gasómetro. The SportsCenter account posted a photo of the player, asking about his possible debut, but the angle of the image and the fit of his training clothes triggered a wave of speculation and criticism from social media users regarding his athletic shape.
Far from ignoring the comments, Vietto reacted firmly around midnight. After warning in a previous story that he would respond forcefully, the forward kept his word by posting a shirtless photo. In the image, he is seen smiling in front of a grill, holding a cutting board with pieces of meat and wearing orange shorts, clearly challenging those who questioned his physique.
The post went viral immediately, garnering support from fans of the "Ciclón," who celebrated the striker’s personality in his return to Argentine football and his determination to put an end to the controversy in a public way.
