PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE
The Millionaire will travel to Rosario to face Newell’s for date 12 of the Professional League next Sunday. The match will not be played at 4:30 p.m. as scheduled.
Unfortunately in Argentine soccer almost nothing surprises regarding organizational issues. In Argentina, unlike leagues like the English or Spanish, the schedules of the matches are given in two or three dates. In the Premier or LaLiga, the complete calendar – with days and times – of the entire season is already known because there it is contemplated when the other competitions will be played, such as local cups and international competitions such as the Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference.
What really attracts attention in Argentina is that, on top of the fact that they give out the schedules of the matches with little notice and two or three dates, it is that later there are schedule changes, as in this case will happen with the match between River and Newell’s. The duel once morest Leprosy was scheduled for Sunday, April 16 at 4:30 p.m. to be held in Rosario, but it will finally take place following 7:00 p.m.
It is true that he will only take two and a half hours, but that does not benefit River at all. If the match was at 4:30 p.m., probably at 11 p.m. the delegation would already be at the Monumental and the players might rest well before training on Monday the 17th, which will be important for the duel once morest Sporting Cristal for the second date of the Group D of the Copa Libertadores that will be played at the Monumental on Wednesday 19 at 9:00 p.m.
When will the rotation in River come?
Martín Demichelis knows that he has a very complete squad and that both starters and substitutes are at a high level. Everything indicates that the rotation would be with a mix and that already once morest Gymnastics there might be some changes and once morest Newell’s others. Already once morest Sporting Cristal all the headlines would play thinking that it is a key match following the fall in the debut once morest The Strongest in La Paz.
