The nuances and the interpreters of the goal summarize this River of Martin Demichelis, to a team in formation but growing, more and more winner and more and more pointer. Nicolás De la Cruz, mischievous, fast, made the winger at full speed. José Paradela received and did not hesitate: he sent the cross into the area. And in that area, Nacho Fernández, first class, hit the scoring shot. It was the cry of victory, of a triumph that was too tight for so many accumulated virtues.
River beat Unión 1-0 on matchday nine of the Argentine league. He should have won by at least a couple more goals. The only sin of his was the lack of forcefulness. Later, the secret is found breaking down the goal…
River beats strongly since Demichelis brought together De la Cruz, Paradela and Nacho in midfield, supported from a little further back by Enzo Pérez and Rodrigo Aliendo, and with Lucas Beltrán as the top offensive reference. It is a midfield with dynamics, with play, with arrival in the rival area. So much for the grays that abound in Argentine soccer.
With this formula River flows. It strengthens its operation and captures results, of course. There are already four victories in a row, with 8 goals for and none against. Martín Demichelis’s team seems to be on its way. Who stops millionaires?
San Lorenzo receives Independiente today
It all happened on a Friday that also featured two other games: Central 3 – Gimnasia 1 and Estudiantes 3 – Newell’s 0. Today the day will continue with the escort in action, with San Lorenzo facing a classic against Independiente at home. Half an hour later, Racing will receive Huracán. The ‘ravens’ celebrate 115 years of life today and the ‘academics’ celebrate the 120th anniversary of their foundation. They announce impressive festivities.
Boca will also play today, at 3:30 p.m., visiting Barracas Central. The xeneizes, now without Hugo Ibarra and after Gerardo Martino’s unexpected “no” to Juan Román Riquelme, will come out with interim coach: Fernando Herrón. The remaining proposal on Saturday will be Tigre – Lanús.
The positions show River with 21 points. Second, Central with 17. Third with one game less, San Lorenzo, with 16. Then, Defense and Justice with 15. Further back, with 14, Argentinos, Racing, Lanús and Newell’s.
