After The Professional League confirmed that River and Tigre will meet at the Monumental this Wednesday from 9:30 p.m. for the quarterfinalsCoach Marcelo Gallardo Already have in mind the starting eleven who will seek to advance to the semifinals, with a member of luxury in the bank of substitutes that could add a few minutes on the court: Juan Fernando Quintero, already recovered from a tear.
Knowing that his place in the play-offs was already assured, Gallardo put an alternative eleven in Sunday’s victory against Platenseto give rest to their main swords.
perhaps for that reason, the millionaire coach played down the drama at the press conference post-match the defensive blooper that led to the partial 1-1 before the Squid, stating: “Anyone who has played this sport knows that you are always exposed to mistakes.”
The truth was that this Sunday the performance of the team was not the best and that is whythinking about the decisive duel against Victoria’s men, the doll again It will give shooting to the same formation that thrashed Sarmiento 7-0 in Junín for the League Cup and that five days later they tied 1-1 in their visit to Fortaleza, for the Copa Libertadores.
It only remains to define a one-off position, since between Tomas Pochettino and Santiago Simon they will dispute the steering wheel position on the rightalthough everything indicates that the former MLS Austin FC player, who started the win in Junín, will start.
The rest is almost out of memory: Franco ArmaniAndrew blacksmithPaul DiazDavid MartinezMilton Helmet; Enzo Pérez, Pochettino or SimonEnzo FernandezNicholas From the cross; Essequiel Boat, Julian Alvarez. That would be the formation to face the kill-kill against Tigre.
Is Juanfer coming back?
On the other hand, Gallardo plans to give Quintero minutes, recovered from an injury that took him out of the last six games. It should be remembered that the Colombian hitch suffered a tear in the left hamstring on April 19 and these days will be evaluatedalong with defender Jonatan Maidana, to see if he can make it to Wednesday’s game in Núñez against Matador.
Anyway Quintero. -who returned to the club after a brief experience in Chinese football- has no chance of starting and it will only be concentrated if it is 100 percent from the physical.
If that doesn’t happen, he could be in a hypothetical semifinal on Saturday against Estudiantes de La Plata or Argentinos Juniors. Otherwise, he would be back for the Copa Libertadores on May 19 against Colo Colo.
