Previous, River – Vélez
The pointer River Plate, concerned about its situation in the Copa Libertadores de América, will visit a downcast Vélez Sarsfield on Monday in the stellar game of the eighteenth round of the 2023 Argentine League.
The ‘Millionaire’ comes from rescuing a 1-1 draw in his visit to the Peruvian Sporting Cristal, although he remains last in Group D of the Libertadores and forced to win his last two games, on a road to the round of 16 that was very difficult for him more than imagined.
“I understand the concern because we are in last place in the group, but as long as there are mathematical possibilities we are thinking of qualifying. We depend purely and exclusively on ourselves”, expressed the River Plate coach, Martín Demichelis.
The situation is worrying for River, which easily dominates the local competition, but in the Libertadores it did not show a convincing game, it suffered the toughest international defeat in its history against Fluminense, 5-1 in Rio de Janeiro, and it must win in the Monumental to the Brazilian team and to The Strongest to get into the round of 16.
But before concentrating on the duel against the Flu, River will seek to maintain its dominance in the League, in which it is 5 points ahead of guard San Lorenzo, and for this it will seek to beat a Vélez about to enter a crisis.
Ricardo Gareca, who had just successfully led the Peruvian team (2015-2022), began his second cycle as manager of Vélez full of illusions, but the results and performance have not accompanied his team, which has barely registered a victory , more than two months ago, and has eight games without victories.
“I would like to stay as long as possible. People can be angry and we understand it because you don’t win, but from the point of view of attitude it is beyond reproach, we give everything. I want to be, especially at this time, next to everyone, to the boys. But we also need to win”, said ‘Tiger’ Gareca.
Vélez also went through a week of mourning for the death of the children’s division coach, Hernán Manrique, who died a few days ago while a game of this category was being played, a circumstance for which the match that Vélez was to play against Racing was postponed for date 17 of the league.
