“A lack of respect”, “a total shame”, “a discredit for Argentine football”. The commentators of the Argentinian first division match between Deportivo Riestra and Vélez Sarsfield, on TyC Sports Internacional, were hard at work. The reason for their wrath: Spreen’s tenure. So, we're not talking about a tactical choice or an out-of-form player. But Spreen, whose real name is Iván Raúl Buhajeruk Fernández, is not a professional footballer.

To tell the truth, Spreen is not even a football player, but a streamer. So, to see him starting in a first division match, against the championship leader… Especially since the boy, who had taken the number 47, was replaced after 58 seconds of play by Gustavo Martín Fernández. The joke, all the way.
So how did Spreen end up playing a match of such importance? For a marketing reason, obviously. According to Argentine journalists, the energy drink brand Speed, which is a partner of Deportivo Riestra and Spreen, is behind all this theater. Looking forward to Inoxtag playing in the Champions League final with PSG.
