San Lorenzo debuted this Wednesday in the Copa Libertadores. He did it in the Nuevo Gasómetro against Palmeiras from Brazil, who came to Argentina with an alternative team thinking about the definition of their local tournament. Beyond that issue, the curious thing was how Ruben Insua continued the game. He could not give instructions from the substitute bench because he was suspended.
El Gallego had been thrown out against San Pablo in the last Copa Sudamericana and had to serve a suspension date. He chose to follow the actions of his team at the level of the playing field, attached to a window with bars, instead of looking at it from one of the Pedro Bidegain boxes to be more comfortable and have a better view.
The one who gave instructions close to the lime line was Roberto Oste, one of Insua’s field assistants.
