The balance of River’s preseason will inevitably leave the bad taste of injuries that reduced a squad that had already been limited by seven casualties, three calls to the Pre-Olympic and a transfer market that at the moment did not add new faces with the exception of Nicolás Fonseca who arrived late due to a mid-year management. From the Champions Trophy River seems to be going through a path of thorns that in the last stretch of this preparation came with temperatures below zero and, this Saturday, with a bizarre minimum scenario, on a playing field prepared for American football that was also in poor condition.
For the rest, it will have helped Martín Demichelis to understand Where does your team stand to face 2024?: The match with Pachuca in freezing Dallas was the last test before the start of the competition in a week and leaves conclusions for what will come soon. To begin with, once morest the Tuzos, good news was one raised at the level of Matías Kranevitter to recover and distribute in a half of the field that generates a logical uncertainty due to the departures of Enzo Pérez and Nicolás de la Cruz: Colo had high shots on the field and good forward passes in a team that yesterday lacked finesse in the last stretches of the field. Another good one? Barco: even without being decisive in the last touch, the 21st is one pace ahead of the rest and can be seen with confidence and assuming more responsibilities. That’s without counting, of course, the level of Franco Armani who was the great figure on the field, one of the main reasons why River won with saves in line with his CV and the point at which several defensive lacks of coordination were extinguished. .
The other reason why River won, of course, is Miguel Ángel Borja: more committed than before to the sacrifice to throw himself to the sides to recover, the Colombian still continues to meet his scoring quota (he had already scored in the 45 minutes he played once morest the MLS team in the first test), even with a team that almost never generated favorable situations either from the middle or in the company of an erratic Collidium: Almost all the chances that CARP created were due to unforced errors in the weak exit of the group that had 9 to Rondón than to its own collective associations.
Although in summary, Perhaps the highlight of River’s time on Yankee soil has been Franco Mastantuono: The left-hander once once more showed flashes of his quality, attitude to ask for it and face it and offensive vocation to think regarding the goal in front: in a few minutes, a clear situation was generated that ended in a left-footed shot that Carlos Moreno, the goalkeeper, managed to deflect. from Pachuca.
Of course, there are several points to improve. Maybe the most: the bottom line did not give much securityLanzini and Nacho drove but they were not entirely good, Fonseca in a few minutes made it clear that it will be difficult for him to adapt to the club…
But River goes. Is what you have enough for you? It depends for what. In any case, the answer is the team itself that seems to warn Demichelis that it needs some specific reinforcements…

River vs. Pachuca, in the stadium where Lionel Messi shone
He August 6, 2023, an Argentinian shone at the Toyota Stadium. It was nothing less than Lionel Messiwho was playing only his fourth game for Inter Miami and continued to demonstrate his status as the best player in the world.
On that night of the Leagues Cup round of 16 once morest Dallas FC as a visitor, He opened the scoring with a left footed shot from outside the area at 5′, scored a poisonous cross that forced a goal once morest for 3-4 and tied this great game at 40′ of the second half with a spectacular free kick into the corner. (later, in the penalty shootout, he scored his own).
What did Martín Demichelis say regarding Diablito Echeverri?
“I know that people have been asking for Claudio Echeverri since the middle of the year and I have always been talking to him regarding it. When he came up with us, training was very difficult for him and that’s why he went down to play in the Reserve. And even every time he went down to play in Reserve he didn’t finish the games and played 60 minutes,” he began by explaining in DT in an interview with journalist Hernán Santarsiero for Rock & River.
And he added: “After the Under 17 World Cup, Claudio came back prepared, I saw him with the preparation to be in the Primera and that is why he entered the semifinal of the League Cup once morest Rosario Central and played in the Champions Trophy. Sometimes people rush… “We are with the player day by day and we see when he is ready.”.
How is River’s transfer market going?
“The areas that we must fortify are clearly the Pity area, on the extreme side, and perhaps the winger and midfielder on the right, which was the function that Santi Simon had been fulfilling the most,” explained president Jorge Brito in dialogue with ESPN . And he added: “We talked regarding there might be one or two additions”.

While the contacts continue, the 27-year-old footballer continues preparing for the upcoming friendly in the United States under the orders of Martín Demichelis.

The renovations of Simón and Barco, two good news in River
Santiago Simon y Esequiel Boat They met with River leaders in the middle of the preseason that the team is doing in the United States to agree on their contract extension. As for Simón, a renewal and in the case of Barco, an improvement to his contract. The common denominator of their cases is that they both set the hook until 2026.
The climate that awaits River
As for the weather that radiates from outside, it will be warmer… Something that will clearly be necessary for the players because, as happened once morest Rayados de Monterrey, the cold will be the trend throughout the Texan followingnoon: in Friscothe city where the field is located, it is predicted that by game time the temperature will not exceed two degreesso once once more the champions, leggings, thermal shirts and even gloves will be key, an accessory that in Argentine soccer (and in many parts of South America) is not a custom at all.
A fairly low number marked by the thermometer, but even It is greater than that of this Friday’s trainingeAt the Dallas FC stadium: only -1°! at 2 p.m. in Argentina, which is 11 o’clock in that city. Fortunately for the team, the sun’s rays helped and will help, even though at this time of year they are not as strong in many places in the United States.
This is how Pachuca arrives at the friendly vs. River
Los Tuzos debuted in the Mexican league with a 1-0 victory on the visit to Cruz Azul with a gol of Salomon Rondon, brand new reinforcement of the team that arrived from River.

This is how River arrives at the friendly vs. Pachuca
Demichelis’ team comes from a 1-1 draw in a friendly once morest Rayados de Monterrey at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. This Saturday’s test will help the coach to continue shaping a changed team, now without Enzo Pérez or De la Cruz, and for the moment with the arrival of Nicolás Fonseca. In the preseason, River suffered the hard news of Pity Martínez’s ligament injury.
Demichelis did not confirm the team for this Saturday. Without Santiago Simón, who would miss almost two or three months due to a dislocation, the coach is waiting to recover Milton Casco y Ramiro Funes Mori so that they can add minutes in the preseason. However, his return would not be easy for this match.
