Ah, what would the world of football be without megalomaniac club owners? Right, probably much more crisis-proof and closer to the fans. However, it would also be less entertaining, as the following clip once again proves.
Because in Paraguay, on the night before last Friday, a club president decided to substitute himself into the game. And not just in any league, but in the first league - with the score at 0:0.

Luis Vidal is 51 years young, even if the knee braces suggest otherwise. The substitution of the seasoned joker was apparently not just intended as a media coup.
Vidal immediately runs towards the attack, obviously trying to lead his team to victory in stoppage time.
However, it was not to be. Even the experienced striker couldn't score. The match between Recoleta FC and National Asunción ended 0:0.
