Overview
- Vélez were knocked out 1-0 by Gimnasia in the playoffs on Monday in Liniers, and the postmatch news conference turned confrontational.
- A partisan Vélez journalist asked if Guillermo Barros Schelotto behaves differently against Gimnasia and suggested his demeanor affected calls in a dubious penalty and a delayed red card.
- Barros Schelotto stopped the exchange and refused to answer, saying he preferred not to respond and calling it a question of very bad taste.
- He defended his professionalism by noting he debuted at 18 and said he has never had a problem in his career, as video of the moment spread across Argentine media.
- Diario El Día identified the questioner as Daniel Gallego Pérez of Vélez Visión and reported that the Barros Schelotto brothers have a 6-3-4 coaching record against Gimnasia.
