On Sunday, the death of the first world champion technical director with the Argentine national team was reported. César Luis Menotti, who died at the age of 85 in Buenos Aires.
Although most Argentine soccer figures had words of consolation and gratitude for “Flaco,” as he was known, the Paraguayan goalkeeper made a comment that was out of protocol.
José Luis Chilavert responded to a post on Twitter, where Menotti appeared criticizing the goalkeeper and Velez, a team where the goalkeeper shone and won the Intercontinental Cup and the Libertadores.
“What had to be done with Chilavert was to take him around the schools and universities, now that Mercosur is here, so that the kids know what man was like 40 billion years ago.”… First Chilavert… then the monkey… and then the human being,” was Menotti’s comment in the 90s.
The Paraguayan goalkeeper did not care that Menotti died yesterday, and did not hesitate to reply to the publication.
“We Monos are still alive and we don’t have drug addict children. In the 90s we caught (sic) them all with Velez,” the goalkeeper tweeted.
Although several X users criticized the former goalkeeperChilavert did not delete the response, nor did he seem sorry, answering the messages with a clipping where Menotti said that it was used by the Argentine dictatorship of the 70’s.
