The technical director of Barcelona of Ecuador, Segundo Castillo, has once again drawn attention for his particular style of managing from the bench of the Guayaquil team. On this occasion, he opted for an elegant tuxedo with an 'animal print' pattern during tonight's match against River Plate, as part of the fourth round of Group B of the Copa Libertadores. The Ecuadorian team will seek victory against the Argentine team to position themselves as the sole leader.
In statements prior to the match, Castillo mentioned: "I have always liked to dress differently to stand out. I believe that the image we project both on and off the field is important. I want my players to see that attitude and style go hand in hand in football."
This wardrobe choice has generated various reactions among Barcelona fans and on social media, where the coach's particular look has become a trend. Fans hope that this originality translates into a good performance from the team on the field and a positive result in this important Copa Libertadores match.
