Martín Demichelis, between the questions to the referee, the “unsportsmanlike attitude” of Nacional and the lack of self-criticism due to River’s level

It is not usual that Martin Demichelis talk about the referees. The coach himself says it and repeats it in every press conference in which he is asked about some issue related to the whistle men. However, the Brazilian’s poor performance Anderson Daronco in the Great Central Park of Montevideo they took him to the coach of River to modify your posture.

“I don’t usually talk about the referees, but today with the images everything was made evident. First of all, luckily Rodrigo Aliendro was not fractured. And then the player who was cautioned (Lozano was the one who attacked Aliendro and Romero hit Paulo Díaz) did not deserve to continue on the field due to his unsportsmanlike attitude,” said Micho. And he added: “In the first 10/15 minutes of the second half, not playing football was rewarded.”

Demichelis is right, of course. Daronco’s arbitration was a horror. And the game was distorted by the red cards that he did not get. In any case, if you only stay with that question of the night in Montevideo, you will be failing the diagnosis. The thing is that their River team was once again taken advantage of when they put a strong leg to it and proposed a match with a lot of physical rigor, apart from the blows that – as already said – should have been punished more severely.

And what did Demichelis say about it? “We must remember that the team continued trying on a difficult field. “He went to look for the result after the tie”, he claimed. And, in retrospect, he added: “The squad has shown that it recovers from hard blows such as being eliminated from the League Cup.”

Is it so? Or is there a lack of self-criticism? Because once again, in the face of a tough game, River seemed to falter and not respond to adversity. In fact, they scored two goals in 72 seconds.

On the other hand, he also did not attribute equality to having anything to do with the modification of the scheme, after starting to play with five defenders, with the entry of Sebastián Boselli for Ignacio Fernández when River was still winning 2 to 0. “The tie has nothing to do with the system”Demichelis stated bluntly. Sure?

What is clear is that there is no formula to close the games. And River, beyond the changes or systems, was complicated only by its own errors. Faced with this situation, Micho’s only self-criticism was “we have to correct it and continue working.” It sounds like little. Very little…
