Velez striker Braian Romero criticized Deportivo Riestra's decision, saying, "What happened today was a lack of respect for football. It's a wrong message to society and to kids who try hard."
Former Argentina international Juan Sebastian Veron stated, "A total lack of respect for football and footballers," expressing his disapproval of naming a social media influencer in the lineup.
Deportivo Riestra's captain Milton Celiz defended the move by saying, "As a streamer, he is number one," highlighting the influence of marketing over traditional football values.
Coach Cristian Fabbiani clarified his stance by saying he communicated with Velez's coach to avoid disrespect, stating he aims not to offend anyone with the decision.
