River trained this Tuesday at the Ezeiza property with the presence of the recovered Esequiel Barco and Pablo Solariboth of them absent in Sunday’s defeat against Sarmiento de Junín as a local, for the eleventh date of the Professional Football League (LPF).
Boat was emerging as a starter against Sarmiento, but he suffered a muscular overload in the hamstring of his left leg and his place was taken by Colombian striker Miguel Borja. Solari, meanwhile, suffered from the flu and left the list of concentrates after his enormous contribution two weeks ago against Aldosivi (3-0) in Mar del Plata.
In fact, in the clash against Sarmiento, the lack of a footballer with the characteristics of Barco was notedable to break an ultra-defensive block from his chance to assist or win the one-on-one duel with dribbling.
However, there are still several training sessions left to find out the possible team that will go out on Sunday to the Libertadores de América stadium against Independiente.
Secondly, the president of River, Jorge Brito, declared this afternoon that he noticed “many players who still have trouble adapting“, in an interview with ESPN. “You have to be excited that the great South American soccer players have to want to come to River. It has to serve as an experience that it is possible. In the next transfer market we have to aim for the highest“, he pointed.
The blow of the early elimination in the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Vélez, in the round of 16, affected the team as much as the departure of Enzo Fernández (Benfica) and the fallen arrival of the Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, who landed in Nacional de Montevideo.
“The decision of whether or not to continue is Marcelo (Gallardo), if it were up to me, I would sign with him for 3 years, which is what remains of my mandate “, He recognized in the face of the DT contract, which expires at the end of the year. In addition, Brito valued the extension of the link of the Uruguayan midfielder Nicolás De La Cruz because it generated “tranquility behind closed doors”.
