Iván Buhajeruk, streamer better known as Spreen, made his debut in the Trans-Andean league. He wore the Deportivo Riestra jersey and started against Vélez Sarsfield.
Argentine football found itself embroiled in a difficult to believe situation. Probably one of the most unusual in its history. Deportivo Riestra has fielded influencer Iván Buhajeruk, better known as Spreen, as a starter against Vélez Sarsfield by Gustavo Quinteros the leader of the trans-Andean league.
The 24-year-old streamer who was part of Cristian Fabbiani’s star eleven and shared the attack with Jonathan Herrera, fulfilled the dream of many, even of some footballers who never managed to make their debut in the First Division.
However, He was only on the field for a minute. Fortín was sent off from the middle and the Riestra players tried to commit a foul . That’s when the substitution took place and Gustavo Fernández came on in Spreen’s place.
Buhajeruk’s inclusion caused irritation on the official TyC Sports Internacional broadcast. “This boy doesn’t even know where to stand. “, they began by emphasizing, just before the change took place. “No, it’s unusual. It’s shameful, it’s a total shame “, they said.
“Pedro Fernández ran across the entire pitch to kick so that boy was substituted. I’ve never seen anything like this, it’s unusual. It’s embarrassing “, they continued. “But what’s the fun in that? We are journalists, it’s a lack of respect (…) It’s a shame because unfortunately it affects Argentine football “, they said.
The beginnings of Spreen
For many, the situation was inexplicable. However, this had an obvious reason, because it happened like a media and advertising movement to make the Bajo Flores group visible.
For this to happen, Riestra registered the streamer as an actor in the AFA’s COMET system last February. They even had to give him a professional contract so that it can be part of a payroll, in addition to a series of other administrative procedures.
The previous week was marked by the inclusion of the influencer in the concentration of the professional team, in the La Candela property. He trained for a few days with the first team and then became part of the squad.
Buhajeruk made a broadcast in the middle of the concentration, where he gave details of his presence in Riestra. He showed off his new personalized shoes with the brand that sponsors him and the club, his jersey number (47) and delivered a message to the supporters. “Let’s give it our all, my friends. “, he indicated.
Meanwhile, Fabbiani, coach of the Bajo Flores club, also spoke about the inclusion of the streamer. “I only know that Iván sells cans and he pays me for the can. So let it come “, he assured during one of the previous conferences when he was consulted.
But who? Iván Buhajeruk, better known as Spreen, He is one of the most important streamers in Argentina and even all Spanish-speaking countries. Originally from Santo Tomé, Santa Fe, and at 24 years old, he has accumulated more than 25 million followers on different social networks, such as Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok or YouTube.
