River defeated Tigre at the Monumental, in a match in which they did not shine and at times left some doubts in defense. In the second half he managed to take the game forward thanks to a great goal from Miguel Borja and then he settled in a little better. Hummingbird’s hat-trick once again showed that the striker is in an intractable moment. And it was once again key at a time when the Millionaire did not completely flow from the collective.
After the match, Martín Demichelis left his usual analysis of the match and explained what his team’s search was: “We knew that we were going to face a team that had only one point, but since Sebastián (Domínguez) has been there, we could see some patterns of a team that can make the game difficult for you. They handle possession very well. That’s why in the first we tried to apply high pressure, we didn’t want them to handle the ball from the beginning.”indicated the DT.
Beyond the good passages that Tigre had, for the Millo coach there was a tactical variant that changed the development of the match: “At times they handled the ball very well because we left Maroni free. Then we modified the pressing scheme in the second half, Maroni was no longer free and we left the sides free. There we settled better into the game. “We were superior to the rival and we deservedly won”added the Greatest coach.
Martín Demichelis’ praise for Miguel Borja
In addition to the analysis of the match, Martín Demichelis once again gave strong support to Miguel Borja: “It’s a great moment, it’s Miguel’s best moment. He gives us many things, but the most important thing is that he is a great scorer, he doesn’t forgive you. Today he made a lot of sacrifice. He is one of the great references that this team has. I hope that after the Copa América he returns with the same motivation. We will see against Riestra who will take his place, we have a squad”said the DT.
What’s coming for River: Deportivo Riestra and the recovery of the injured
Thinking about what is coming, the Millo coach announced that there are two days off for his players and that they will then focus on Deportivo Riestra, a match in which they will suffer many significant losses: “Now there are two days of rest. There are players who go to the national teams, some are going to return and others are going to the Copa América. I think that Sant’ Anna and Kranevitter will take several days, Colidio will not, it was nothing more than a blow.”, the Millo coach advanced.
“On the Riestra court it will be difficult, we have to play a good away game to go into the holidays with a good clean and jerk, hopefully we can compete well and move forward. “We are going to prepare it with a ten-day work week.”concluded Martín Demichelis, happy to close the semester with a new victory at home.
