The coach of River plate, Martin Demichelishas the eleven players available for the photo of the champion team that can become a reality when they go out to play on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Students de La Plata, in the Más Monumental stadium, on the 25th date. of the Professional League.
The ideal formation of Demichelis that he found in the last games is made up of Franco Armani; Milton Casco, Leandro González Pírez, Paulo Díaz and Enzo Díaz; Nicolás de la Cruz, Enzo Pérez, Rodrigo Aliendro, Ezequiel Barco and Ignacio Fernández; Lucas Beltran.
If the celebration is confirmed before the match, for the coach it will be an unprecedented event in the semester since it is the first time that the same team repeats itself in three consecutive games; victory against Colón 2-0; goalless draw against San Lorenzo; and on Saturday against local Estudiantes, and already as champion if Talleres does not beat Huracán as a visitor tomorrow.
These 11 players who can be on the poster of the champion team as the ideal, only played so far against Independiente on the 13th date, with a 2-0 win, and those mentioned against Colón and San Lorenzo, so if they play the Saturday there will be only four presentations of that formation in 34 games.
This statistical data demonstrates the difficulties that Demichelis had to find the team and have regularity in each of the lines that were altered due to injuries, tactical adjustments and some suspensions.
To the point that the team with a tactical design of 4-2-3-1 only used it from the start in the game that beat Lanús 2-0, on date 7, although Salomón Rondón was in the formation, Robert Rojas from side and José Paradela midfielder.
As for the defense, there were also changes to the point that it used a total of 17 different formations, although the one made up of Casco, González Pírez, Paulo Díaz and Enzo Díaz is the one that played the most, with 8 games, and is the one that established itself as the starter. in the last matches only with the entry of Rojas when the first central defender was injured.
The two central midfielders, Enzo Pérez and Aliendro, and the forwards “Nacho” Fernández, Barco and De la Cruz also took a long time to establish themselves, since for example the Uruguayan midfielder started the semester recovering from an injury and Aliendro recently found regularity after the match against Boca.
That is why players like Agustín Palavecino, Paradela or Pablo Solari appear with more than 20 games played so far this semester and in many cases headlines, especially in the first part of the tournament.
Finally, the case of Beltrán is very symbolic because until the 7th. game of the season he had started only once -against Arsenal with a 2-1 defeat and he left at the hour of play-, he had not converted and had only added the final minutes that owe him an accumulated of less than a complete game .
There are other players who are on the list of those who played the most and would not be in the photo of the champion team, such as those of Andrés Herrera, Miguel Borja or Santiago Simón, who had good performance passages that led them to be part of formations headlines in key parties.
This is how things are for this River team that today trained at the Ezeiza property and that tomorrow after practice will be concentrated to watch Huracán-Talleres on TV, and play against “Pincha” on Saturday.
In this sense, the big issue that coach Demichelis must decide will be the list of concentrates that will be announced only tomorrow night, since from there it will be clear who can go to the bench and add minutes in the possible title match.
Heavyweight players like Jonatan Maidana, who started the semester as the starter; or Emanuel Mammana, who played key games against Boca; The club’s promises such as Franco Alfonso and Claudio Echeverri are some of the names that will compete for a place on that list.
The same happens with the players who are coming off injuries and are in the final stages of their recoveries, who make an effort not to miss out on being part of the party squad, such as David Martínez, Bruno Zuculini and Matías Suárez.
Lastly, Demichelis cannot stop planning because of the festivities, since next Wednesday he has a one-on-one meeting with Talleres de Córdoba for the Argentine Cup, and then he must start thinking about the round of 16 of the Cup Libertadores that will be played in the first weeks of August.
