Everything remains the same: River leaders benched Martín Demichelis

The first vice president of River, Ignacio Villarroel, supported Martín Demichelis as the club’s coach after the fall in the Superclásico and He highlighted his progress and work throughout the year and a half he has led the team.

“Demichelis has our full support, without a doubt. We see how he has been working for a year and a half and the results. Martín is working very well, I trust a lot in the squad and in Demichelis. He missed a game, that is not going to modify a long-term job”Villarroel expressed in radio statements.

And I add: “Demichelis has a great love for River, is a super-trained guy with a very clear method. He has been very successful, the first year he arrives he wins a championship in an overwhelming way. Yesterday after a year and a half he lost his first classic. He is making club boys debut and progress.”

At the same time, Villarroel agreed that replacing Marcelo Gallardo It was never easy but Demichelis’ work is undeniable: “River’s history is enormous, and of course Gallardo’s 8 years were very successful. The moment when Martín takes over is not easy, many people thought it was going to be much more difficult than it was to take control of River after that.”

“We always have things to improve, because River always demands you. Everything we do is to make River bigger and bigger. “No one likes to lose a game like yesterday’s but this is River and the day after tomorrow we have a Copa Libertadores match,” he concluded.
