This determination was surprising, but it is a clear gesture from River to end the issue that was in the news all week and turn the page, as Demichelis said at a press conference.
Martín Demichelis’ statements about the controversy with Esequiel Barco
- “Anyone can miss a penalty, in this case two; I considered that (Barco) was not emotionally ready to continue playing at 100% in the second half. Esequiel is a good boy, he surely wanted to score a goal. I apologize because he is not egocentric or thinks only of himself. Surely today he has a great experience.â€
- “Both of them are in charge of kicking and define according to their own sensations. When Esequiel missed, I did ask Miguel to kick, it didn’t happen and the outcome is what was seen.
- “What we have to talk about, we already talked about and Esequiel apologized.”
- “There is no need to dramatize.†.
River will carry out an extra reconnaissance against Banfield
In addition to the tribute to Esequiel Barco, next Sunday River fans will receive a visit from a key player in the era of glory led by Marcelo Gallardo: Marcelo Baravero.
Trapito is a Taladro player starting this season and will return to the stadium where he had great performances. The River leadership plans to give him a plaque for his time at the club.
