Martin Palermocoach of Platensehighlighted the team’s attitude despite the 2-1 defeat against River, as a visitor at the Monumental, for date 17 of the Professional League. In turn, he referred to the whistles from the fans.
“We tried to be intense, not give them space, make them uncomfortable. That worked. It is not easy to receive a goal so quickly on the River field and recover from that. That’s the positive. The two goal plays were very similar. We couldn’t avoid that duel with Solari on the right,” said the Titan at a press conference.
“I leave with the feeling that the team showed its face, that at certain moments it was, they pressed. In the end it was distorted a bit because River generated situations, like us due to the stopped ball we had some more situations, kickback balls that were not so clear. I’m leaving with a good feeling and the team’s response.”he added.
On the other hand, Palermo assured that the victory against Racing gave them “a boost of spirits” for the visit to the Monumental and highlighted the attitude to go looking for the tie after Miguel Borja’s goal: “We went, we pressed and we made River not feel comfortable. With spaces, River hurts you. The team responded and made a very big effort. Let’s hope that what happened in Racing and what happened today gives us a sign of improvement.” And he added: “Today I leave with good feelings.”
“River takes advantage of the spaces, they have people with good control of the ball. The feeling when it comes to competing, today the boys have to go with their heads up high that we were not outmatched. It was not the image we gave with Central, that hit us,” he said. And he sentenced: “Both with Racing and today, the team gave me the feeling that they responded very well, that they responded to what they can give. I am more than satisfied with what was done. Not satisfied with the result, but with a great rival like River, having played him this way… I don’t know if it’s equal to equal, but at times we bother them.”
What Palermo said about the whistles of River fans
Martín Palermo, one of the greatest idols in the history of Boca, was greeted with whistles by River fans (they also whistled at Vicente Taborda, whose pass belongs to Xeneize). “The thing about the people, I don’t know. When they named me I didn’t listen, I was in the locker room. Afterwards it was normal. I went unnoticed”, The Titan only said about the reaction of the Millionaire fans.
