“We made a bet that for every assist we would get a reward. So I got some money”, Facundo Guch confessed in the mixed zone, with the smile of someone who has just been paid for a favor well done. ⚽💰
It all happened after Newell’s draw against Boca Juniors. Matías Cóccaro, the Uruguayan striker for ‘La Lepra’, had set up the bet with his teammates before the match: 200 dollars for whoever gave him the goal pass. Guch was the provider that afternoon, and did not hesitate to confirm it in an interview with ESPN.
Guch himself did not hold back about his future plans: “I’m going to give him all the passes now”. A simple bet that rewards team play, but one that is already starting to stir up the entire Lepra dressing room. 🇺🇾
