River Plate he won again and established himself in his game and at the tip of the Professional League this Friday. He Millionaire He showed a great level against Unión and despite the fact that the result was barely 1-0, the level he showed was the best so far in 2023 and that is why the fans allow themselves to get excited, although there is still a long way to go until the end.

“The first idea is to be able to be protagonists and dominant on any court. Regardless of the opponent. I think we were today. We needed to stretch the marker. That feeling of uncertainty was generated in the end, we needed to close. On top of that with one more man, people were waiting for the second and the third. In all the games we are going to lack something, today we lacked that but we generated a lot. We had chances to make the second one”, he reflected on the clash against the Tatengue.

The one who earned the praise of the DT was Delfina Lombardi, the ball catcher who was fundamental for the goal that meant the victory: “I always tell the boys when I have the chance that they play an important role because for me football is that: a sum of positive or negative details that influence the balance for better or worse. It is worth noting what the institution does, the ball boys are boys and girls. Today it was her turn, Delfina, to play a role, an important detail within what were 95 minutes. I congratulated her and I was able to take a picture with the boys”.

River took ten points from Boca in the Professional League table, but Micho It was clear: “I am concerned purely and exclusively with what my team must attend to. Now we are going to have dinner, I asked the players to stay focused because we are going to train tomorrow. We will think about the next match in the Cup and after that in Huracán. Nothing more than that occupies me at the moment”.

Already focused on the Copa Libertadores duel at the height of La Paz, he pointed out: “First you have to see how the players finished, how they begin to recover. On Tuesday I will decide who is to start. What did I think of the group? A group capable of disputing anyone for what belongs to us. With the utmost respect for the three rivals, they won’t be easy, but we have a great squad, we are a great institution, we have to be protagonists”.

And he added about the problems they will face before The Strongest: “Everything influences when putting together a formation. Different principles have to be balanced. It is known that the physical part will play a peculiar role in La Paz. Sometimes not only the one that is usually the best from a physical point of view is the one that stands out or the one to play, but the one that recovers the fastest from drowning. We have to do an analysis with the physical trainers. I have a great squad and I can choose who are the fit ones. Sometimes the books tell you that they are such and such, but you get there and some get dizzy, others feel sick, have a very bad time, others feel normal. It is a game different from the rest due to the natural conditions”.

“You have to take the necessary precautions and see how we begin to feel comfortable within the party. We are going to look for the result, then we will see within 90 what we are for. The Argentine player is not used to what can happen on Tuesday. They barely pass the middle of the field, they kick at the goal because they know the ball is coming. Our player until he is wrong two or three times and understands that the ball does not generate the curve, he says well now I put my foot in a different way, ”he explained.

The cast of Núñez must visit The Strongest en Bolivia on Wednesday in what will be its debut in the Copa Libertadores where it also shares Group D with Fluminense from Brazil and Sporting Cristal from Peru. Then, on Saturday, they will clash against Huracán in Parque de los Patricios for the tenth date of the Professional League.
