“It seems silly to me”: Gustavo López's reaction to Guillermo Francella's joke after Racing's triumph against Independiente

The journalist was hard on the actor, who this Sunday mocked for the Academy's triumph in the Avellaneda classic

The journalist Gustavo López was very critical of Guillermo Francella, a well-known Racing fan, for the charge he made on Sunday after the triumph of his team 2-1 against Independiente in the classic of Avellaneda. The driver was annoyed by the actor's attitude that was in a joking tone and was dispatched in the morning during his radio show on La Red.

“I heard in the car a very good racingist energy this morning. Francella was missing and they were all there, eh,” Lopez began. “Guillermo is nice”, Leonardo Gentili wanted to reassure with his comment, but he did nothing but chicanize the driver who shot: “Guillermo! I think it's stupid what he does, but hey... He's already a big man for those things, he shows the house, which has a big park. I try to make the videos in a little corner so as not to show people that I have a big house and this one shows you the park.”

Lopez's comments bounced on social media and the topic was trending on Twitter, where he received some comments against him for criticizing Francella, who again resorted to her classic “Good day... beautiful morning, right?” That phrase installed her in the world of football for her old film Extermineitors IV: As Twin Brothers, from 1992. In the video that the actor uploaded to his networks on Sunday, this time he added a pinch of seasoning: “Nah, what it was this time, what it was this time! Pac!”.

Guillermo later published a story on his Instagram in which he put a caricature of himself with the phrase and that also generated a furor among his followers. In turn, Racing uploaded Francella's video to his social networks and wrote: “Hello, Guille! Good Sunday.” The post on the Twitter account already has more than 788 thousand views and 11,800 likes. While on the Instagram of the Academy it has more than 54 thousand likes and almost 900 comments.

The actor has always shown his fanaticism for Racing and throughout his career, he appealed to the resource of mentioning Racing in his works. Cola Brigade, Married with Children, The Secret of Their Eyes or An Argentine in New York are some examples of this.

By doing it in a funny way and because he knows football folklore very well, his chicanes were always fun and he never saw any ill intention of laughing at his club's rivals on duty. Even that phrase was adopted by fans of other teams every time they won an important match.

This Saturday Racing won by 2 to 1 against Independiente at the Libertadores de America-Ricardo Bochini stadium and was at least momentarily at the top of his group, within the framework of the seventh round of the Professional League Cup. Three minutes after the start of the match, the Demon Gabriel Hauche opened the score in favor of the Academy, while in the second stage Lucas González temporarily equalized and Enzo Copetti sealed the albiceleste triumph 5 minutes from the end.

The Academy, which won its third win in a row (1-0 to Talleres de Córdoba and 4-0 to Atlético Tucumán, the previous ones), is a team that is going “from less to more” so far in the tournament, as revealed by Fernando Gago.

With the help of Pintita, Avellaneda's team continues to rise and the players were asserting themselves to the coach's idea. He is undefeated in the League Cup in which he has four wins and three draws. If this Tuesday Defense and Justice does not beat Arsenal, the team led by Gago will be left alone at the top of Zone 1 of the tournament, which has already completed half of its regular phase.
