The defeat against Talleres once again generated a mystery that is already repeated in the world River: because Demichelis insisted with Rondon If the Venezuelan has not yet shown on the field that he is in a position to be a starter?

Obviously, the coach trusts in qualities that the 33-year-old forward was losing over time and that he is betting on recovering. But the cost that he paid in Córdoba for including Salomón in the 11th to replace He went It was very high, because the team lost the collective structure and was left unbalanced in the different lines, in addition to the fact that the presence of SR25 did not add offensive power but rather eclipsed Beltrán, the scorer of this cycle. AND The corollary was that the former Colón midfielder came out, who had been having very good performances.

The DT explained the modification with tactical arguments that did not work for him on the field of play: “We defended ourselves with six and we tried to steal and do damage with De la Cruz, Nacho, Barco and the two wingers playing hand in hand.” At this point, in fact, the other big question that causes the low level of a Rondón arises. that without having been able to complete the preseason, he does not show himself physically ready: The power, offensive voracity and effectiveness of Borja In the definition, are they not today above those offered by the Venezuelan?

It can be taken as an example that the Colombian in Córdoba was millimeters from pushing a low cross from Enzo Díaz on goal and hit a header with a goal of 2-2 that bounced off the body of Enzo Pérez, while Salomón barely generated a free kick at the door of the area that he kicked into the barrier… El Colibrí also came with the boost of converting the winning goal in the superclassicwhere he left another clear sample of his personality and confirmed his forcefulness, since on the 9th he put it 13 times in 36 games in River, of which he started in 16. Not to mention that he also added three celebrations in the 2023 friendlies (against Millionaires, Vasco da Gama and University of Chile).

The analysis made by the MD coaching staff is that Rondón has technical virtues different from Borja’s to connect with the midfielders and form a fluid partnership with Beltrán. However, the statistics for now do not give you the right, since of the 39 goals scored by River in all the powers of 2023 (LPF, Libertadores, Copa Argentina and against Banfield for the Champions Trophy) only 18 were with Rondón on the field and only seven, from forwards: the two from Salomón against Huracán, another two from Beltrán and Borja and the rest from Suárez, who with his damaged right knee has contributed much more in offensive terms. The CT trusts Salo a lot (Micho knows him well from his time in Malaga) and you think you need this filming for your adaptation while Borja’s physical conditions mean that it is not so difficult for 9 to get into the game by entering from the bench as it could happen to the Vinotinto’s all-time scorer.

Salomón Rondón scored his first goal in River against Huracán.

Even so, The SR hierarchy has only appeared sporadically so far and has not been decisive either.. the antecedent in Parque Patricios for now it was more of an exception in the 643′ that Rondón played in 15 games, seven of them as a starter: Until now, he does not defend his resume on the court. He saw himself on Sunday against Talleres, in a new opportunity that he missed…
