“Brahian Alemán’s relationship with the youth players was never good”. The phrase enunciated by Federico Bueno, commentator of the goalless draw between Banfield y Gym by Professional Leagueseemed like a sentence spread within the framework of a simple crossing of the player with Ignatius Miramonwho committed a harsh offense for which he was expelled, but was the tip of the ball to unravel the excesses committed in the baptism of the youth who went up to the First Division Lobo when the experienced midfielder wore this jersey.

Journalist matthew romero used this concise introduction to delve into this topic. He assured that German he was the leader of the band called the ninjas, who were in charge of welcoming those who were doing their first pre-season with the professional team. This type of reception is common in all Argentine soccer clubs, but what could be a simple haircut or a change of look took another turn in the entity from La Plata.

“The band led by Aleman entered Miramon’s room three times to wrap it up between 7 or 8”stated on his Twitter account @taconeta_tw in reference to a situation that occurred in an establishment of Howard Johnson in June 2021. Franco Torres and Bruno Palazzo were, according to his description, other footballers who suffered these violent acts. In the case of the first, Romero said that he was beaten after being wrapped in sheets, while the second suffered the “worst part” because “they grabbed him with splintered wood and left his thigh bleeding.”

Mariano Cowen became president of Gymnastics Fencing La Plata last December and responded to the accusations that occurred during the term of his predecessor, Gabriel Pellegrino: “If there were blows, cover someone with sheets, as they did in Colimba, we do not endorse them. These are things that shouldn’t happen and won’t happen while I’m at the club”. “There was no sexual abuse”he clarified exhaustively in a chat with the program Argenzuelaissued by C5N.

The previously reported cases led to a three-day sanction off the campus for Alemán and Matías Pérez García, the soccer players who would have beaten the youth players in the concentration carried out by the establishment led by Leandro Martini y Mariano Messera. The dissemination of these actions was carried out by the families of the victims, but they were not formalized in a complaint before the Justice. Time after, Martini he minimized it in conversation with the program Hawks and Doves by TNT Sports: “It was not as big as thought. everything was oversized. Things were clarified, they talked, the pertinent apologies were requested and the two players are already training with us again. It is a good group, sometimes there are some mishaps but they are already solved”.

As opposed, Cowen He expressed his solidarity with the young people: “I spoke with some representatives and with the leaders of the campus, to make ourselves available as the Board of Directors. We have to be empathetic and put ourselves in the place of the one who suffered.” “Under our management we are not going to allow these things and we seek to banish them. They are practices that are not right in sport and in society ”he concluded.

In this sense, the squad led by coach Sebastián Romero issued a statement: “The players of the First Division men’s squad of the Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata inform members, members, fans and the general public that the affirmations that circulate regarding an alleged ‘sexual abuse’ during the 2021 preseason are false. As a team we have discussed it and that is why we decided to express, through this statement, our discontent and concern at the information disseminated on social networks and the media.

They then supported the determination made by the main leader of the club: “We respect and support the current institutional policy that prohibits any type of ‘baptism’, ‘ritual’ or ‘rite of passage’ that involves the use of physical force, and we express our rejection of all forms of violence in sport. Together with the Technical Staff, the Board of Directors and all the triperos and triperas we will continue united, working to make Gymnastics bigger and bigger”. Alemán, perhaps wanting to get away from the scandal, RTed him from his Twitter account.

The program led by Jorge Rial gave more details about the composition of the ninjas: “The band was led by Brahian Alemán, and he was accompanied by Víctor Ayala, Matías Pérez García and Nelson Insfrán. It could be between seven and eight.” Information that coincides with what is detailed by matthew romero. What should be a dream like going up to First division turned into a nightmare “The kids couldn’t sleep thinking that they were going to enter the room and they were going to hit them with the initiation ritual”.

In addition, it was clarified that these situations would not have occurred in the efforts of Diego Maradona, Pedro Troglio or Néstor Beanie Gorosito as trainers, although Brahian Aleman played in the Lobo between 2019 and 2022, added to his first stage at the club between 2017 and 2018. In both cycles, he played a total of 144 games with 23 goals and the same number of assists.
