The coach of River Plate, Martín Demichelis, expressed his satisfaction with his team’s performance in the draw in the Superclásico against Boca Juniorsbut considered that they were close to obtaining the victory and assured that they were not “extremely superior”, but that they were “something more.”
“The feeling is a little frustration for not having been able to give the people a victory. A great framework, it was bitter because we couldn’t close what we wanted, we didn’t come for a draw. We could not specify what we had, we were not extremely superior but we were something more
Regarding the proposal of Mouth, The River coach indicated that “Martinez (for Diego, technician of the “xeneize”) is a coach that I appreciate and respect, he is in the search and I would not get involved in his analysis and proposal, but If I ended up with 7 defenders I would not be respecting River’s history. “We are not happy with the tie.”
Regarding why he did not include the Colombian Miguel Borja from the start, who was coming back from an injury, “Micho” explained that “he was 100 percent and that’s why I considered it, but at the limit of starting from the beginning. There was the risk “, he made the effort to get there and had a header that was saved by (Sergio) Romero. He finished healthy and will get into the fight for the game against Talleres.”
About the change of Marcelo Herreracommented that “he made a lot of sacrifice and since he had yellow, he came out, (Agustín) Sant’Anna (who replaced him) played a good game, even though the goal came from that area. That isolated play appeared that we couldn’t defend.”
“The emotional and mental effect of an opponent’s goal always has a period that must be cut as soon as possible. But after that we had something else to give us an advantage. We looked for it and we didn’t convert the ones we had. We wanted to beat our greatest rival againwe had a good moment in some passages and Boca did not gravitate to us as much,” Demichelis pointed out at a press conference.
Regarding the team’s goals, the River Plate coach noted: “We are halfway to the goal, to classify us. We want to finish first in the area, history demands of us. We must classify and we are still in the construction stage. We are the team with the most goals we scored, the fewest goals against we have and the most we generate. Today’s feeling is little, but you have to look at the glass half full too.”
“It’s good that we generate supremacy in what we want to do. We don’t know how to play without the ball and River fans like having the ball more. We have an identity. We work hard to leave nothing to chance. Last game, Barovero (Marcelo, Banfield goalkeeper) did very well and today (Sergio) Romero had his own. At times we are close to what we want, we must not stop trying. “We are missing (Santiago) Simon, (Manuel) Lanzini, and Pity (Gonzalo Martínez) a little more, so we are fine,” he added.
Analyzing in more detail this afternoon’s meeting at the Monumental, he indicated: “We had a good first half, until we were 20 when we pressured them. Boca did not surpass us. I have to worry when the rival goal leaves us far away and that didn’t happen today. I would have been proud to win with (Claudio) Echeverri’s first superclásico, with (Esequiel) Barco, one of the best in Argentine football, with Nacho (Ignacio Fernández), the delivery of (Rodrigo) Villagra. “There were good things.”
“I’m not worried, I’m unhappy because we didn’t win.. There’s not much to worry about. There are things to correct. I do not analyze the history and present of the two clubs, I know River and we will always be offensive in the game. “We have to live up to River’s history, extremely offensive,” Demichelis concluded.
River Plate and Boca Juniors tied 1 to 1 in the Superclásico played at the Monumental stadium, interzonally for the seventh date of the First Division Professional Football League Cup.
