the theme in River It’s the 9th. These are Julián Álvarez’s last games at the club, about to leave for Manchester City. Find a center forward. The Uruguayan Luis Suárez sounds like a star reinforcement. Meanwhile, the team does not win or convert: now, for the second date of the Argentine League, they tied 0-0 with the modest Atlético Tucumán at the Monumental.
River came from equalizing without goals with Defense and Justice and again collided with the same result. He failed to give the possession he held neither clarity nor depth. In any case, by insisting so much, through Elías Gómez he made the rival goalkeeper fly a couple of times, Carlos Lampe, the Bolivian who spent a short time in Boca. Julián Álvarez was not fine either.
Marcelo Gallardo knows that Julián will leave in a few days, he is looking for a 9 and points to none other than a former Barcelona player, Luis Suárez: “I spoke with him, I know him, I have a good relationship. I have a lot of respect for the player and the person. I got in touch to find out what was going to happen to his life and if he wanted to come to Argentine soccer, to an institution like ours, to have competition and get to his desired World Cup well”.
The Doll also pointed out: “It is difficult to talk about a possibility that we do not know if it can be real beyond the interest of our institution and beyond the fact that the footballer has valued it and takes it into consideration.”
Gallardo closed: “It doesn’t depend on us. We have to wait and see what possibilities there are when the player analyzes each situation. We have to be patient.”
