The tense exchange between Guillermo Barros Schelotto and a journalist | OneFootball

Guillermo Barros Schelotto was involved in a tense exchange with a journalist at the press conference after Vélez’s elimination against Gimnasia.

“I’d rather not answer you, I’ve never been asked such a tasteless question,” Guillermo replied, visibly upset by a question from a club-affiliated journalist, who suggested he had experienced the match differently because he was facing the La Plata club.

Beyond the exchange, the coach analyzed Vélez’s elimination. “We controlled the ball and the game, but we lacked clarity in the final third,” he explained.

He also ruled out blaming the refereeing for the defeat: “It had no influence whatsoever—look, I’m usually the first to get angry or complain, but not in this match.” Still, he defended Vélez’s tournament run: “We had a very good campaign. If I’m not mistaken, we’re sixth and qualifying for the Copa Libertadores. I don’t think what we’ve done over these last six months has been bad at all.”
