Many may remember the statue \u2013 or bust \u2013 of Cristiano Ronaldo, which was ridiculed when it was unveiled in 2017. CHANGED: This bust was changed after massive criticism and ridicule. Photo: Armando Franca \/ AP It showed that a bronze statue can create a lot of interest – and not always for the right reason. It also happened when River Plate was to unveil its tribute to a coaching legend. Unlike the Ronaldo bust, it wasn’t because the face didn’t look similar. Eight meters and six tonnes Argentine Marcelo Gallardo was to be hailed as River Plate’s most successful coach in the club’s history – and for that he was to receive a statue outside the home arena. When the curtain fell in front of the eight-metre tall statue weighing 6.3 tonnes, it revealed a huge lump under the belt. – River Plate’s statue that will stand in memory of Marcelo Gallardo has some, frankly, interesting features, writes one Twitter user. – The new bronze statue of Marcelo Gallardo is great … but noticed something strange?, writes another. HONOURED: Gallardo was allowed to unveil the statue himself. Photo: REUTERS TV \/ Reuters The vast majority take it in good spirits, while others are not such a fan of the exaggeration. – Shameful what they did with the statue of Gallardo. Gross, grotesque, boring. The tribute to one of the biggest idols in the history of River ended with unnecessary rudeness, writes the Argentine journalist Leo Paradizo on Twitter. But believe it or not – the size of the bulge was ordered. – Ask me to do it For now we must go to the creator of this statue. Sculptor Mercedes Savall says that the bullet in her pants was not something she came up with entirely herself. – They specifically asked me to exaggerate that part, she told the Argentine news channel A24. To the newspaper La Nacion, Savall claims that the special feature of the statue was requested by one of those who were responsible for the project. They wanted something similar to the sculpture “The Charging Bull” that stands on Wall Street. KINNER: The bull on Wall Street has a good size in its nobler parts. They are also far brighter than the rest, because they are simply worn more. Photo: LUCAS JACKSON \/ Reuters She says that the prominent bulge on the trousers was therefore a conscious choice, which refers to a local, vulgar slang meaning “effort”. – I was looking for a way to get people into art and took a kjang, she says, according to Reuters. The protagonist himself, the coaching legend Gallardo, only seemed honored after the unveiling. – I want to express my gratitude to my family, friends, the coaching staff and the players who have been with us. Thanks to the fans. I will always love you. I grew up in this club and will die in this club, said Gallardo. Savall was happy about that. – Fortunately, he did not ask for an explanation of the statue, he let me work in peace, Savall told La Nation. PS: Maybe the Gallardo ball will get smaller over time? At least this is what the Ronaldo bust looks like today: “MAKEOVER”: The picture on the left shows what the Ronaldo bust looks like today. Photo: Francisco Leong Helder Santos \/ AFP
