The perfect week, eliminating Colo Colo in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores and, on top of that, beating Boca with a majority of substitutes as visitors, was the perfect energy for River to reach the duel against Talleres last Sunday at the Monumental. But this is football: an error by Paulo Díaz, a great finish by Girotti and a colossal performance by goalkeeper Guido Herrera caused the ‘T’ to take a 1-0 lead from Núñez, giving a blow to the great emotional momentum that the team had. by Marcelo Gallardo.
But The Millionaire has one more life: It is 9 units behind the leader Vélez, who lost 3-0 against Rosario Central as a visitor this Tuesday and caused the ‘Muñeco’ team to maintain hope when There are still 33 points at stake (and they must receive the Liniers team at the Monumental stadium, just before the Cup semifinals against Atlético Mineiro).
But before the FIFA stoppage and playing against the leader, River must visit Platense in Vicente López next Sunday at 7:00 p.m. and Maximiliano Meza is in doubt for said meeting (he was not in front of Talleres due to a muscle discomfort in his right ankle) and it will depend on his evolution to know whether or not he will be on the roster of footballers that the coach will have.
Manuel Lanzini and Nacho Fernández would repeat as River’s two offensive midfielders, but the 17-year-old left-hander started out as a starter although he later lost ground, but his contributions from the bench in the last games were more than outstanding, and like the Muñeco he is a coach who prioritizes the football present above all, it is not unreasonable to imagine it from the start.
After the defeat with Talleres, Marcelo Gallardo in a press conference asked for peace of mind for the return of ‘Pity’, who was injured in January and has not yet been able to return, although if he had the endorsement of the medical team, the 31-year-old midfielder could be called up and if the game allows it, add minutes. The intention is that for the series with Atlético Mineiro, he will have minutes beforehand.
