River’s coach, Martín Demichelis, started the second part of the year without finding the team, using 21 players, without repeating an initial formation or supporting some footballers, which generated discomfort and concern in the squad, in the coaching staff and in the leadership.
After losing against Vélez in River’s worst game of the year, again with questionable changes, DT’s relationship with various leaders of the squad suffered and there is a rarefied climate in the locker room of the last champion of the local tournament. In fact, in the last hours it emerged that there were meetings as a result of rumors linked to relations within the group with the coaching staff and due to leaks of information about private opinions.
One of the causes that unleashed the climate of discomfort was that the players received information that DT had held an “off” meeting with some journalists in which they revealed certain internal issues that -according to them- did not correspond . In that off the record with ten journalists, “Micho” spoke ill of players like Enzo Pérez, González Pirez, Casco, Borja, Kranevitter and even Claudio “Diablito” Echeverri and that did not go down well with the intern and broke a bond that time It will tell if it is healed or not.
In turn, in the same the coach would have slipped that some of the most experienced on the squad would not be taken into account by 2024; and precisely, the fact that proper names have been mentioned was the trigger that set everything off.
The meeting between the squad and the coaching staff had to take place to iron out rough edges and was necessary to seek to reverse this present. And although it is clear that the player-DT link today is tied with a wire, it is not broken either, according to what they remark time and time again within River.
The stoppage for the FIFA date will give the coach time and work to try to find the team when he plays against Arsenal -the only one that beat him at home- on Sunday, September 17 at the Más Monumental for the fourth date of the League Cup .
Demichelis has less than twenty possible matches ahead of him until the end of the year to reach the finals that he should play for having won the LPF against the winner of the Argentine Cup and the winner of the current Cup.
