The pass was a novel with controversial nuances. Racing didn’t want to sell it and bothered because River He did not care and ended up executing the termination clause. And the man in question, a couple of days after landing on a millionaire land, came out as a starter in a full monumental. He did it wearing the shirt with the same dorsal that almost three decades ago used another Salas, a rooms that knew how to get into the big story of River.
This Salas, today, Maxi, traveled its debut with T -shirt 7, without complexes, with maximum personality, as the main offensive reference. It didn’t weigh. At least in his presentation he justified the investment of just over 8 million dollars. We will have to see of course how history continues.
Maxi Salas moved all over the attack front. Demanded. He tried a couple of times to goal. He associated with criteria. And he also managed to score his first goal. It was in the 39th minute. After an excellent combination to a touch between several Riverplatense players, Salas emerged to go to the ground and touch the goal. And in the celebration he did not shrink either. Imitating the other Salas, Marcelo, Chilean nicknamed Matador, this rooms today restored the left knee on the grass and raised his right arm pointing to heaven.
Facundo Colidio celebrates his goal with River with his teammates
Salas’ goal was the second in River’s 3-1 victory against Platense. Marcelo Gallardo, after frustration at the Club World Cup and the sale of Franco Mastantuono to Real Madrid, changed the team. He marginalized several players and gave space in this start to a couple of kids: in the middle Santiago Lencina (19 years) and above Ian Subiabre (18). Meanwhile, he waits for Juanfer Quintero, who will arrive this week to Argentina to join.
This new River did not shine, but made three beautiful goals. Facundo Colidio nailed the first with a right at an angle from the outside of the area. The third was marked by Miguel Borja, who entered the second half and resolved with class after a good Pitch Martínez.
River’s victory should be considered important because in front was the hard and Platense champion, which almost did not disarmed after winning the title. Moreover, the ‘squid’ tied him with a nice header from Ronaldo Martínez. And after Salas’ goal, again on the scoreboard, they put the millionaires in trouble and deserved the draw when Marcos Portillo was unusual.
We will have to follow the evolution of the Gallardo team. The doll referred to the “cleaning” of players that made: “The renewal of the squad marked decisions and communicated them to each footballer who considered that other challenges must take. Among them, many that I personally appreciate.” And he also left a reflection on the production against Platense: “We are in a moment of armed campus at this beginning. We are going to put together with the running of the days. Today we won the last champion well, although the team still does not work as I want.”
Boca and Independent draws
The other two big ones who played this Sunday tied. Boca on his visit to La Paternal equaled 0-0 against Argentinos Juniors, cost him an enormity and did not leave a good image. The Xeneizes expect Leandro Paredes to get ready as soon as possible to debut and give him that personality and that game in the midfield that the team has not has. Will it be the solution?
In turn, independent, playing badly, he ended up getting a point in Junín, against Sarmiento. It was 2-2. Twice the premises with definitions of Joaquín Ardaiz and Elián Giménez were imposed. First, the Red tied him with Gabriel Ávalos goal and in the end with a goal from Felipe Loyola.
The other big one who won was the one who lost players and did not incorporate, San Lorenzo, who surpassed workshops in Córdoba on Friday. While Racing on Saturday lost 0-1 about the end with central barracks. They are the first beats of this Clausura tournament that just begins.
