Lucas Nohra, DT of Leonel Ovejero, affirmed that he had a meeting with the players and that he recommended the 21-year-old footballer “not to look at the phone” because of the messages he may receive.
Whenever there is talk of an unusual event in Argentine soccer, Primera B is the main candidate to be the tournament where it happened. It never ceases to amaze with unusual situations and is the first source of material for ‘out of context’ compilations. This Tuesday is the Third Division of Argentine soccer, he left a new pearl that left all those present in the Argentino de Merlo stadium speechless, who played at home against Sacachispas.
The protagonist who drew all eyes was Leonel Ovejero, current Argentine player who came to the institution this year from Banfield. It is that, to the surprise of those who reported the match on TV, the coaching staff and many of the fans present at the stadium, he received a red card that initially had no explanation. But quickly, the situation was clarified by the fourth referee: “He dropped his pants and urinated,” they explained in the broadcast.
No one could understand what had happened, not even the team’s coach Lucas Nohra, who this Wednesday defended the attitude the player had on the field. “He told me that he couldn’t take it,” said the coach while he was talking to La Red radio.
And then he explained the situation: “He drank a lot of water in the preview, during the first half and even at halftime and he couldn’t hold it. The Sacachispas player just fell, the doctor delayed and he saw the possibility that nobody saw him but they saw him There’s nothing weird.” As he continued to detail what happened in the match that ended in a scoreless tie, the DT was even more honest and confessed that the first reaction was to think “that he had hit the Sacachispas player.”
“He told me that he did not consider asking me to go to the bathroom, I think it would have annoyed me but I would have let him go,” said the coach about the most logical alternative that the footballer could have taken.
When the fourth referee warned the main judge of what had happened, he decided to expel the player from the match, something the coach was not clear about for what: “I didn’t know that it’s red. The referee told me it was an obscene gesture. “

After what happened on the Argentino field was revealed on social networks, the coach stated that there was a talk with the players after the episode, where he showed support for the player: “I had a meeting with the squad, with Leo present and I told them that I bank him to die and that I am going to accompany him in all this”.
The viralization of the content affected the young 21-year-old player. “He was wrong. Captures of the moment came to him. I spoke and told him to try not to answer the phone and look at nothing,” Lucas quoted and added: “They come and there are comments on the networks, things that a young boy has to live because it went viral. From my side, outside of the professional and what the regulations say, he is a human being, we can all make mistakes”.
The message that the coach reiterated on several occasions during the interview is that both the club and everyone in it want “to learn from all this.”
