River’s victory against Rosario Central on matchday 13 of the Professional League Cup left good feelings for the second time that the Millionaire carried out. The three golden points allow us to go with less pressure to the final duel of the group stage vs. Institute, and at a press conference Martín Demichelis spoke about the actor who changed the face of the team: Nacho Fernández.
Demichelis’ assessment of Nacho Fernández
Nacho Fernández entered 21 minutes into the second half and contributed a lot to River, including an assist for Miguel Borja’s 2-0 victory against Rosario Central at the Monumental Stadium. In his analysis, Demichelis began: “Rodrigo Villagra, Andrés Herrera, Nacho Fernández and Esequiel Barco came in well. What comforts me is that regardless of the names, mechanism, system or court, those who enter do so to sustain or improve the level of the team.”
Specifically about Nacho Fernández, he stated: “I will always repeat the same thing: it is still important. That’s why Nacho came in and played great, because he is important for the team. When he considers that he has to play from the start he will play, when he considers that he has to sit on the bench he will sit. Nacho will accept it and continue to be competitive, he is a leader.”
Demichelis did not ensure the ownership of Nacho Fernández
Finally, and just as he did at the end of the match with Deportivo Táchira, he explained why he started in the Copa Libertadores debut. “It is not easy to play in the Cup, much less as a visitor. Nacho is a player who takes charge of the situation. He can play well or badly but it is important to have leaders within a game.”
“When you are going to play a World Cup and you are in the tunnel you can’t even swallow, in the Cup the same. Nacho has already played a billion of those games and it does not mean that if Claudio Echeverri had not played he would not have done well. But I decided on a leader and I have no doubt that he will continue fighting whether he is a starter or a substitute. He is a very important player and it is clear that he is not at a bad level. He came in, took charge and gave us a lot,” Demichelis concluded at a press conference.
