Demichelis filled his players with praise: “They executed everything well and won the match”

The coach of River, Martin Demichelisacknowledged that Group D of the Copa Libertadores “is very complicated, but the need to win should not cause you to lose the line”after the emotional victory over Sporting Cristalof Peruby 4 to 2, with 10 players from the start of the first half.

“In that fateful play of the expulsion of Enzo Díaz I did not want to take out a striker. And the group showed that they can take risks because they are in good spirits. They made a line of three. The players executed everything well and the game was won”explained Demichelis at a press conference at the More Monumental.

“Nicolás De La Cruz is more offensive than Rodrigo Aliendro. If Rodrigo came on and we lacked being offensive, they would have asked why De La Cruz didn’t play. Aliendro gives balance but we had to win from the start. We had the courage to have peace of mind with the 0 -1, because from there we start losing”I explain the DT about the initial formation.

Demichelis held that “Pablo Solari waited for his chance when it was his turn to leave. The goal with Newells gave him confidence, today he had it extra, he won duels, he did damage. He will continue working like the rest of the group”.

“And my effusive celebration occurs because these are peculiar situations as it was with Newells. But, I have to remain calm, although it is difficult. We have a good vibe in the group and it shows. This calendar is complicated. The height of La Paz was difficult and we lost 3-1 to The Strongest in our debut, and today, in the first action, they scored a goal for us. But beyond the rival or the field, the team must not change, and that is why there were no hits and He dedicated himself to playing, even with one less”highlighted Demichelis.

“And Salomón Rondon must also continue working. Work and effort that later comes the prize, like Miguel Borja. The best example of that is Lucas Beltrán”hill.

And by his side the experienced Enzo Perez rescued it “they won with character. With our way of playing, we continued to take risks despite everything. The team had a lot of head and character beyond the short man, they never gave up the rival goal, which at times made it difficult for us. The team did not slow down, between those who started and those who entered”.

“I say about Esequiel Barco that he has been making great games. When he starts or enters later, he has a strong one-on-one, in closed games he can play outside or inside. Every player needs time at River. There are several who feel better like José Paradela and today Solari did it”he expressed.

“Personally, I try to look beforehand when I receive the ball and we have the logic of playing vertically. Solari made a great movement, chipped into space and luckily the pass went well. That goal gave us peace of mind. The celebration allowed us to get everything we We had been feeling because we could not specify the situations, and at home you cannot fail. But it is not the first celebration that I do like this, with Gallardo I did it too. You forget everything and then it goes viral “pointed

And finally, he maintained that when he arrived home after the canceled goal against Hurricane “It was exciting because they all came to hug me, it fills me with happiness. They were happier than me, and it speaks of the harmony of the squad. At 37 years old, they give me an ovation, it leaves me speechless, River represents a lot to me, I hope we continue with this communion, and that we all continue united so that we have a great year”hill.
