The new” River Plate designed again with a couple of tweaks by Marcelo gallardo, who yesterday celebrated seven years at the helm of the “millionaire” team, repeated the same quality of efficiency and forcefulness exhibited in the two previous games against Argentinos Juniors and Unión, to beat the hitherto leader of the LPF championship, Lanús, by 3 to 0, in the own “Garnet Fortress”.
River, which at the end of this third date not only established itself in the second rung of the positions, but also settled among the three classified by, the Annual Table for the Libertadores 2022, also allowed with its renewed operation the brightness of some of the pieces inserted in the team by Gallardo as Bruno Zuculini.
Is that the midfielder who was convinced by the “Doll” to stay at the club during the preseason held in Orlando, when he had everything arranged to go to Cremonese of the second division of Italy in search of more minutes of play, was key so that Núñez’s team will practically liquidate the game in the first half.
Of course, for this he had a partner, he had a fundamental partner, who in reality is one of all his companions, such as Matías Suárez from Cordoba, who at the start of the second stage came out worried about a left adductor ailment for which tomorrow he will conduct studies.
And Zuculini also became an assistant 10 minutes later after a new pass as long as it was precise from Suárez that the native of Escobar imperfectly controlled but then corrected with a touch back for the entry of Nicolás de La Cruz, who from right and below , to the right of goalkeeper Lucas Acosta, scored the second goal.
But not satisfied with this, the Uruguayan was going to score a new goal just five minutes into the second period when, after a hard stacking by Jorge Carrascal, another of the pieces movements made by the River Plate coach, the center arrived that Lucas Acosta only picked up. with his right hand and it escaped, allowing the touch to the net of De la Cruz.
The other touch-up, the third of the “Doll”, Braian Romero, today was not as lucid for the conversion as he did in the two goals against Argentinos for 2-0 by Libertadores and the first of the four with Unión, but It was clear that his movements fit into a perfect symbiosis with Suárez that quickly made Colombian Rafael Santos Borré forget.
“If they saw us all train, they would realize that the demand we have there is transmitted to the matches, and that is why when, like today, we are winning 3 to 0 we maintain the intensity until the end,” Zuculini, the figure of the field, what is this “new” River that Gallardo rebuilt again.
