The loss at Bombonera was another blow for Nunez. River’s worst Superclásico under the technical guidance of Marcelo Gallardo. This was one of the falls that affected the public, and it also left a feeling that if the situation did not change soon, there could be a purge from the team.
Multiple matches (9 of last 11 matches) The players were exposed and cornered after losing in just two months.. After all, they are the ones who go on the field, above and beyond decisions that coaches may question. And not only did they not represent the Red Band in terms of football, but they also did not have the soul to at least show rebellion and try to change this ugly situation.
“It was total crap. We were not up to par. Mentally we have a lot left. We have to take responsibility, we have to put our hands up. We are stuck in a hole we can’t get out of. I apologize to the people. We are more than in debt. We have to put our eggs on the table,” he said crudely. Lucas Martinez Quarta. And he announced a phrase that could sum up the moment River was experiencing. “We need men,” he said.
The defender wasn’t the only one speaking out. they did it too Franco Armani, Juanfer Quintero, Gonzalo Montiel. They are the four figures and heroes of Madrid. And it wasn’t a coincidence. It doesn’t usually happen for River soccer players to make a statement when leaving the locker room (They only take notes on the field after the match). It’s as if we are being told or feel that we have to take responsibility.
Juan Farr said: “No one wants to lose a classic. We have hit rock bottom. We are responsible. We have not responded to the situation and history of River.” Gonzalo Montiel added: “We apologize and we take responsibility. We all have to work together.” And Franco Armani concluded: “We have to get out of this situation once and for all and add three people at a time. We have to keep our heads up. The only thing that will get us out is a job.”
A final evaluation will be conducted at the end of the year to determine how the campus will be cleaned up and rebuilt.. The contracts of players whose contracts have been canceled will not be renewed. Those cases are as follows. Federico Gattoni, Miguel Borja and the historic Enzo Perez, Ignacio Fernández, Milton Casco, Gonzalo Martínez. Players like Paulo Dias, Fabricio Bustos and Sebastian Boselli will also be on the move.
At the same time, the children in the cast were given more filming, Intentionally include advanced players in specific key positions.
That’s the problem Some of the players leaving have not played.. In other words, they aren’t losing every game. So many people will wonder Considering Gallardo is the one who put this team together, how can he turn this around? After three repo markets where there were millions of dollars invested. But the club believes in Muñeco’s ability to change history and made that clear by the support they gave him when announcing his contract renewal last week.
Similarly, the football year still needs to be over before we can say which players stay and which players don’t. Before thinking too much, there is still one game left, against Velez at Riniere, which will be very important as River will not only be playing for a spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores, but will also be playing in the Clausura playoffs as well as Gallardo’s team.
The problem is Just as you can enter and become champion, you can also be eliminated if you lose to the Baros Shelot Twins team.those who are waiting for this match with knives and forks.
now, How can this river become a champion? Only the mediocrity of Argentine football and the organization of the tournament can open up a path for him. And it also happens that the only way for a millionaire to qualify for Libertadores 2026 on his own merits is to lift the Clausura trophy.
The players are aware of this, so I mentioned this situation as well. “We have a game against Velez, we have a play-off and we have to become champions. We know we have to win the next game and we have to become champions. We will prepare for that,” said the defender. Quintero emphasized that:We have a chance, so I hope we can win. And when we become champions, don’t say anything…”.
That seems like a big deal given the current situation, but that’s football and River needs to have a seat at the table and not fall to the ground, regardless of the future of the players on the team.
