Although he is preparing to play the Champions Trophy against Colón this Saturday and say goodbye to the year in the best way, River also thinks about the coming semester and would have already decided to repeat a custom of Marcelo Gallardo’s teams: do the preseason in Miami, United States.
In principle, the Millionaire will be based in the city of Florida, to face 2022 in which he will again face the challenge of the Copa Libertadores. It is worth remembering that in the middle of this year, Núñez’s team was in a Disney company complex in Orlando, where they played two friendlies prior to the start of the Professional League tournament that was later awarded.
And in his visit to the north of the continent, Gallardo could count on an old new face: defender Emanuel Mammana, who wants to return to the club that formed him and where he played between 2014 and 2016. The center-back belongs to Russia’s Zenit de Saint Petersburg. , who sent it in 2020 on a loan extra large to Sochi until June 2022. 25 years old and injured by injuries in recent seasons, Mammana is seeing little action at her club and could accelerate the return.
The possible return of Mammana would be added to the, more than feasible return of Colombian Juan Fernando Quintero, who wants to leave the Chinese football that he arrived at at the beginning of the year.
As for the clash on Saturday (at 9:10 p.m.) in Santiago del Estero, this Tuesday there were some irregularities in the online ticket sales, since although millionaire members had priority to buy, many non-members were able to get their tickets and forced to suspend the sale for a few hours.
For his part, in Colón, DT Eduardo Domínguez has two doubts: the inclusion of Lucas Beltrán as second striker or Cristian Ferreira as a link -both belong precisely to River and are on loan at Sabalero- and the appearance of Eric Meza o Facundo Mura on the right side.
A probable formation of Columbus, who comes from losing the classic Santa Fe, would then be: Leonardo Burián; Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz, Rafael Delgado; Meza or Mura, Federico Lértora, Rodrigo Aliendro, Christian Bernardi, Gonzalo Piovi; Facundo Farías, Ferreira or Beltrán.
