The last part of the Zubeldía era was marred by the antics of some players. Following a violent Intercontinental match against Milan, the entire team was arrested on orders from Argentine President Juan Carlos Onganía. In an unprecedented step, goalkeeper Alberto Poletti was suspended for life (he was later pardoned) and did time in jail, together with teammates Ramón Aguirre Suárez and Eduardo Luján Manera. Because of these events, it became a cliché to refer to Zubeldía's football as "el antifútbol" ("the anti-football"), because of its physical violence, and its frequent resort to timewasting tactics [https://web.archive.org/web/20101220095017/http://www.pasionalbiceleste.com.ar/wiki/Osvaldo_Zubeld%C3%ADa]. "The Times" commented that Estudiantes is "one of the most despicable teams ever to emerge from South America."
