Martín Demichelis celebrates the “long-awaited debut” of Claudio Echeverry

Martin Demichelistechnical director of River Plate, celebrate it At the press conference after The victory over the Institute “The long-awaited debut” of Claudio Echeverry, At the same time, he valued the success of the millionaire “without showing his best version” and referred to the struggle for the league championship, leading his team by ten points.

In the press room of the Monumental Stadium, Michoux recalled the premiere of Diablito, a figure from the lower club players: “Claudio’s long-awaited appearance has arrived. It’s a source of pride for the establishment that the boys are coming out of the lower ranks, they have the River DNA and hopefully the first game of many. I can’t tell him to be careful with his kicks because I can instill fear in him. But he knows that because of his position and his dribbling, he’s going to live with that. Kick would get hurt, but he got up and continued showing his qualities. It gives me great pride to give him the opportunity just like Alfonso, who has the same quality.”

On the success against Gloria, he highlighted how his pupils had the ordeal of starting with a goal against before the minute, which “makes you emotionally upset”, because they “find themselves behind after talking so many things”.

He continued: “There are fewer and fewer games to go and emotions and anxiety start to play out with another inaccurate first 30 minutes of our stage. We started poorly, off the marks, but we got a lot better in accuracy and pinning and we were closer to the restart. Well, the package arrived and with the presence of another man sometimes the team did not shine, but they won again without presenting our best version, as is the case with Fluminense and Defensa y Justicia, and it was three goals scored.

In addition, Demichelis pointed to the title struggle, in which River starts with an advantage, because he takes ten points – with one more match – from Talleres, his scott: “We will not be hypocritical, seeing that the road to the end is getting shorter: we have six games and eighteen points left, but I say to the players that it happens day after day and I don’t want anyone to think that. We are the champions. There was no stage or medal handover. In fact, we are starting to lose. This is how I want them to learn to live this profession, because in this sport you have to respect any competitor. We must keep working, be humble, and be aware of what we are working on. It would be nice to keep it and give it a good ending. A decisive match in the cup is coming for us to achieve the first goal.”

The 42-year-old DT indicated that Leandro González Pírez, who “worked hard” and came off with a hamstring problem, will be analyzed by medical staff to see if he can play on Tuesday against The Strongest, while highlighting The return of “Premeditated” by Enzo Pérez and Enzo Diaz: “I thought about it, but sometimes game development doesn’t allow you to do that. Enzo Perez is nothing more than that, he has given us so much when you come from four weeks without competition, there is no right to go more than those who have been playing and training. And he did not It wasn’t the last game of the year either. I was thinking about giving him minutes to decide if we were going to use it on Tuesday. I saw him well, he became the midfield leader, he had a lot of involvement. Diaz’s physicality is one of his virtues and he had logical errors. They are two players, when They are in good shape, they are very important to us.”

In particular, the captaincy of Pablo Solari entered, in a change that meant a change of plan, something the coach analyzed: “We tried to strike a better balance when we had it as well as when we didn’t. By having another midfielder, when you’re inaccurate, you can give Shorter passes.Sometimes you have to stretch a little more.Within the errors we had, we realized we had to put together another steering wheel to feel more comfortable.Within these midfielders we have many players who reach into the opposition area, like Nico and Nacho. Overall, I don’t think we have the tournament’s top scorer either because the goals are fairly distributed among the players. It’s something that makes me happy, and I hope they keep scoring more.”

In another matter, the former defender was consulted about the statements of the representative of Robert Rojas, who indicated that the Paraguayan defender would look for a way out from Nunez, to which he replied that “the statements of someone he does not know do not change his way of being.” He added, “If I had to be guided by those kinds of data, I couldn’t make accurate decisions. The things I had to talk about I talked with Robert personally and with the team. I’ve already said it, it’s not the time to talk about the market because River’s it’s so big.” You have to win, qualify for the cup and finish well. The calendar leaves many actors confused and so do the players. He will still be an important player for us because he was doing so well.”

Finally, Demichelis spoke about the comparison between Manchester City and Bayern Munich, two of the strongest teams in world football: “River’s goal is the same as City’s and Bayern’s when the season starts, which is they have to figure out how to compete throughout the year and if you get third or fourth it might not work. River is equally great and shows it game after game, and fills the Monumental midweek during part business hours. I was lucky to browse those teams, I spent 40 days at Atletico Madrid, I went to Malaga, which was a small club with the aim of making it big and we played the Champions League. The idea in those clubs is to fight to enter Europe and the league and the Bayern and City goal is not at all equal to the River goal. It’s other cultures, other scenery, but here we have a very beautiful scene.”
