Demichelis to Figal: “He didn’t say he came to win, but to play a good game. They didn’t even do that.”

River Plate defeated by the slightest difference Boca Juniors on Sunday, May 7, at the Más Monumental stadium for one more matchday of the 2023 Argentine Professional League. After the game, Martín Demichelis recalled Figal’s previous statements, which he called the ‘Millionaires’ stadium a ‘Gallinero’.

“For many it was surely a Chicana. For me, she spoke with a lot of respect because she said: “We are going to win in Chile and play a good game at the Gallinero.” They didn’t even play a good match“Martin said.

“He disrespected one of the most wonderful stadiums in the world. Every game that is played here, 83-84 thousand people come. It is the largest in South America at club level”, he added.

“And then the other thing he said with respect. Maybe he felt respect for this River, he left it there. Out of respect, he did not say that he came to win, but to play a good game.”, he finished.
