Salomón Rondón’s Late Goal Seals River Plate’s Victory against Atlético Tucumán

River Plate could not break Atlético Tucumán’s resistance at the Monumental, when in the 94th minute Esequiel Barco opened for Pablo Solari. The former Talleres adjusted his body and sent the center for the entry of Salomón Rondón, who with a furious header beat goalkeeper Tomás Marchiori and inflated the net, to unleash the delirium of the local public. The Venezuelan sentenced the 1-0 that represented the Millonario’s third victory in Zone A of the League Cup, just as the Superclásico against Boca approaches on Sunday, October 1.

For Martín Demichelis’ team (and for the coach himself) it was a great relief in a duel in which they dominated the actions, but had a hard time finding the paths to the goal. And for Rondón, 34 years old, much more. The thing is that the man from Vinotinto, with an extensive career in Europe, had a hard time adapting to Argentine football and the day-to-day life of the country. And, after the departure of Lucas Beltrán (starter in the Olympic return in the Professional League), still entering from the substitute bench, he began to find the rhythm and the timing to make friends with the goal: he has accumulated six conquests since his landing in Núñez , but three came in the last six games (and he only played one from the beginning).

“I am very happy for the goal, but more so for the three points. It was a hard-fought match, at no point did I think we were getting away, a couple of times they caught us against us but we were forceful. What we had, we took advantage of, so the three points stay at home,” he stressed after the match. “All the centre-backs in Argentine football are quite tough, it is the job that the striker has to do, to fight with the ugliest, to contribute, endure and help the team. I’m coming off a couple of very good weeks (he also scored for Venezuela in the Qualifiers) and I have to keep working. My thing is to score goals, today it happened to me, so I’m very happy,” he added, who competes for the role of striker with Miguel Borja, whom he went to look for at the celebration. “We share a room, the truth is that I appreciate him a lot, he is a great teammate, the competition is very healthy and nice, let’s hope the best comes out for the team,” Salomón concluded.

The fans celebrated this version of the attacker, closer to what he exhibited in Spain, Russia or the Premier League, where he displayed his power. And the memes exploded. The thing is that Demichelis, who was his teammate in the Iberian Peninsula, exposed some time ago the adaptation difficulties that he suffered, and that affected his performance. “Just a week ago he received the papers to get his DNI and this affects things from stupid to complex. He lived in Nordelta, he couldn’t drive and every day he had to enter and leave the neighborhood as a visitor. He ate up 30-minute waits,” he said. “It’s a minor thing, but at my house it took three weeks to install a television and I’m Argentine and River’s coach. Let’s not forget that Rondón lived 19 years in Europe,” the coach noted. Well, once the wave has been surfed, perhaps the internal reinforcement that the Band was waiting for is beginning to emerge: Rondón.
