Tinelli-Insúa: a friendly match 20 years ago triggered the fight

Tinelli-Insúa: a friendly match 20 years ago triggered the fight

Everything was triggered last Sunday, when Insúa exchanged insults with some plateistas, and he was heard saying “why don’t they fuck Tinelli, who worked everything here?” Next, Tinelli announced that he would take him to court.

This week, at a conference, the coach, far from retracting, called the businessman a “coward” and accused him of “retaliating” against his two children for a personal problem that has taken a long time.

The origin of the Insúa-Tinelli fight

The quarrel between Gallego and Tinelli would have been born in a friendly match that was played in 2002 between San Lorenzo and Deportivo Español in the New Gasometer. The appointment served as an excuse to present the reinforcements for the new season and also as a presentation for Insúa himself, who at that time was returning to Boedo as a coach after his successful time with the club as a player.

However, the particularity of that game was that one of the players who jumped onto the pitch was none other than Tinelli. Many years before getting into club politics he was one of his most famous fans and in that friendly he fulfilled “the kid’s dream”.

At first the club gave Tinelli a plaque as a tribute and named him an honorary member. Then, he spent the entire first half sitting on the substitute bench with his son Francisco. Insúa decided to send him to the field 22 minutes into the complement, replacing Mariano Herrón, but 14 minutes later he took it out for Astudillo to enter. This triggered the undying hatred.

Consulted on the subject, Insúa did not delve into details and just wielded: “The origin of the problem does not matter. He got mad at me for one episode and I know. I know what he thinks of me and he knows what I think of him. I didn’t give it too much importance that he’s mad at me. Yes, From the time he messed with people I love, I’m going to be on the sidewalk in front of him”.

The problem intensified in 2015. According to reports, the Gallego blames him for having released his son Robertino, who in 2015 joined the Reserve that became champion that season.

“With the person you just named I don’t want to have any kind of good relationship, I don’t have a good opinion of him as an individual. When older people have a fight, they have to solve it between themselves. It’s cowardly when you solve a personal problem and you seek to use a certain retaliation against a person’s son, “said Insúa.

“Because he didn’t have the courage to work it out with me personally, he retaliated. I have not had a relationship with him for many years, I am willing to settle the matter in the way I want: in court or he can tell me the time and place, “she concluded, almost inviting him to fight.
