The promoter of the project of the work officially reported that they do not give the time to finish the installation for Thursday. The technical reasons that motivated the outcome.
River he must live his party this Thursday December 9, on the third anniversary of his consecration in the 2018 Libertadores Cup in view of Boca in Madrid, with caravan, party at the Monumental… but without statue of Marcelo Gallardo.
Today, the promoter of the project, Carlos Trillo, officially announced it on their social networks. What was an open secret, the technical impossibility of completing the pretentious installation in such a short time, was confirmed in the words of the businessman. “Last Wednesday we received the approval of the River Board of Directors to place it in the facilities of the Monumental and there began a long work. We immediately hired a crane, which on Thursday removed the statue from the foundry and carried out the transfer of the lower part to the club, “he began.
“On Friday it began to be installed at the base with a formwork structure and, once that stage is finished, the upper block of the monument will arrive. To achieve perpetuity, sculpture needs a kind of skeleton with double T iron bars that need to be welded, and then the cement goes. Correct setting of concrete takes weeks of curing, until reaching at least 70 percent of the design resistance. It is the largest bronze statue in the world of football. As bronze is eternal, the internal structure must also be. From the foundry they explained to us that, no matter how much anxiety we have to inaugurate it, logical processes cannot be accelerated“, said.
Finally, Trillo pointed to the future: “We are going to donate the statue to River. By law, in 99 years he will return to the Trillo family; that is why inside it will carry a time capsule with a letter, where I will ask my grandchildren to donate it again to the CARP century after century, since it was made with the effort of thousands of fans “.
“Today they give us the installation plan and we will continue working, together with the members of the CD and the club’s employees, to carry out the greatest tribute ever seen in the history of Argentine football. All for the love of the Doll and the colors of River Plate “, he concluded.
