You have to travel to October 2014. If the names you used were analyzed Marcelo Gallardo for the three competitions that he played in the first part of the cycle, it was surprising to find that Ramiro Funes Mori He was the man who had the most minutes. With Ramon Diaz had little room.
El Mellizo, that unexpected hero on the Boca court, took a stellar role at the hands of the Doll. Seen out of the corner of his eye by inheritance from his brother, Rogelio, who did not explode his best version, neither in the ascent nor in first, that agonizing header in the Bombonera made him rise to fame. After the successful championship led by Ramón, following the World Cup in Brazil and with Eder Alvarez Balance injured, the Twin became the owner of the River fund.
“His arrival generated confidence in everyone, which is why we had such a strong team. The Doll talked to us a lot. In my case, I feel that what I learned with Gallardo brought me to the national team”, recounted the defender, some time later. He was one of the most loved and applauded. He upset a lot of fans when he played, that’s true, but he became a key player.
At that time (during the first semester of the Doll) Ramiro Funes Mori played 1613 minutes of the 1800s that River disputed with Gallardo. Funes Mori was barely absent in two games: Rosario Central (Argentine Cup) and Belgrano (date 12, when serving the suspension due to his expulsion with Boca). In that time, the Twin scored a goal, which earned River three gold points: 1-0 once morest Newell’s, in Rosario.
Other times: they followed him in that area Carlos Sanchez and Marcelo Barovero, other players who left an indelible memory, also in clashes once morest Boca. Now, Ramiro Funes Mori, at 32, returns to River. The leader, however, beyond the defensive problems that the Professional League champion usually offers, does not have a guaranteed position. Leandro Gonzalez Pirez is a revelation and paulo diaz recovered its level. Behind them are Rojas and Mammana, with various physical problems. Ramiro knows it: he does not have the guaranteed position. And that will be a huge challenge for the central defender and also for the coach.

Funes Mori (Everton, from the Premier League, Villarreal, Saudi Arabia and Cruz Azul) joined the squad under the command of Martín Demichelis and it only remains for him to sign the contract so that he becomes official as the first reinforcement for the second half of 2023 , which will have the Copa Libertadores as its main objective, following the consecration at the local level. The defender, who came from Cruz Azul, established himself with Ramón Díaz in the local tournament and was indispensable in subsequent trophies, especially international ones, with the Muñeco. He is not only remembered for the goal in the Bombonera (“it was not a corner”the phrase of Carlos Bianchithe DT of Boca), but also scored in the definition once morest Tigres, for the 2015 Copa Libertadores. An eloquent 3-0, in the rain, at the Monumental.
It was a time, following the first season, in which River became strong from back to front, with brave defenders, with a strong personality. Mercado, Vangioni, Pezzella and Maidana (he is still in River, he will turn 38 on July 29), among others, they represent a symbol of that time. Also, the Twin.
Martín Demichelis confirmed this Monday that the first addition to the millionaire team is Ramiro. In any case, the coach, without going into details of the transfer market, explained at the press conference that the first big “reinforcement” is another. “What we have today is David Martinez (recovered from injury), he asked to play in Reserve and was able to train at the level of the group, we are very happy to have him. The next one will also be Bruno Zuculiniwho is very close to being able to return to work on par with the rest, and there is Ramiro Funes Mori, who is real, but is in the hands of the club”, added the millionaire DT.
At the same time, Facundo Colidio is one step away “Boca had an agreement with us, but Colidio decided to wait. Where is he going to play? It may be that in River, only the signature is missing, ”he said to ESPN tonight Javier Zanettistrong man of Inter, from Milan.
At the same time, Demichelis chose not to talk regarding the open negotiations for the Uruguayan central defender. Sebastian Boselli or the chance of the return of Manuel Lanziniwhich is also wanted by Vasco da Gama, from Brazil.
