River Plate’s technical director, Martin Demichelis, He made a harsh self-criticism for the changes he made during Fluminense’s defeat of the millionaire team in their fourth game for the Copa Libertadores. Likewise, the coach of the Núñez team pointed out some errors of the team in general.
During the press conference following the 5-1 defeat, the former Bayern Munich second division coach explained why he removed Emanuel Mammana and not González Pirez, who already had a yellow card and would later be sent off. “I take charge of the changes. Sometimes they come out and sometimes they don’t. It wasn’t money or shit”he asserted.
And he deepened: “Remove a central marker to play with three. I decided on Emanuel because we waited for him until the warm-up to see if he might play. Leandro commands the defense, he is intelligent and even so they took the double yellow card. I take charge of the changes, I made them. That’s when it all came crashing down”.
Regarding River’s game, he pointed out: “There were important neglects that we should not have committed. We jumped on the pressure when we should have been a little more comfortable”. And he closed: “Five goals is a lot in the Copa Libertadores as were the three that they scored once morest us in Bolivia.”
Once he concluded with the constructive observations of the team’s performance, which had an influence on the result, Demichelis rescued both the first half of the millionaire as well as the first minutes of the plugin: “I think we had a great first half once morest a team that is in a state of grace”.
He even confessed that both he and the squad had “the feeling at halftime that, by staying in the game, we were going to be able to win it.” And along these lines, he continued: “We started the second half very well. And they just scored our second goal when we were playing the best”.
For the coach, the departure of González Pírez marked a before and following: “With Leandro’s expulsion, it became much more difficult for us to be able to compare him to this great team. Among many crowds that the referee -Esteban Ostojich- might have received good or bad, Leandro got a second yellow and everything fell “.
“Being at a disadvantage with the result and having one less player is that spaces begin to appear that they took advantage of,” he completed.
Regarding the constant pressure exerted by the Núñez team despite the difference in the score, the technical director reasoned: “If I came to speculate here, I would surely lose. I watched the last 15 Fluminense games. And if you come to defend yourself, you lose. You have no other. It is the only option”.
Concluding his analysis of the defeat at the Maracana Stadium, Demichelis focused on the superclassic that River will play once morest Boca Juniors on May 7. “You have to turn the page as quickly as possible. That hurts. But you have to courageously assume all the bad things that were done, ”he remarked. And he finished: “We are going to get up right away from the mood to get to Sunday well. At the Monumental, we are going to make Boca feel the locality”.
