The reaction in Talleres after the round of 16 draw: “River is the favorite” and does he lose his figure? :: Olé

“River is the big favorite, but Talleres has been doing things very well.” A few hours after the draw that threw Millonario and T as rivals in the round of 16 of the Liberators, Andres Fassipresident of Matador, was the first official voice of the Córdoba club and seemed confident in the face of the crossing with the CARP.

“They are budgets of 10 to 1, what we spend in a year is River’s budget for one month.” Fassi understands that there is a significant economic gap between one team and the other, which is why he insists that “In football nothing is written” and “Talleres always puts up a fight.” Furthermore, it foresees that “They will be two high-level games.”

One of the main doubts that arose as a result of this crossing is will there be visitors? It should be noted that when two compatriot teams face each other, Conmebol delegates that decision to national security. On this, Fassi commented: “There is a very good relationship with River. I hope it can be a great football celebration.”

Currently, at least from what Fassi says, the waters are calm. But last year it had a crossing with the Mundo River. It turns out that when Javier Gandolfi (former T coach) was interim at Talleres, he was interested in being one of Demichelis’ assistants at River. And Fassi joked about it.

“Maybe, at some point, you will have to look for Demichelis to be your aide-de-camp.”, he told JG in public. This did not go down well with River and Jorge Brito responded: “Fassi is pretty bad at making jokes.” It is worth noting that the T went to look for Micho when Bayern was there: “I admire him and I already went looking for him to be a Workshop technician”said.

Ramón Sosa is the top figure in Talleres but his days are numbered in the Córdoba club, since the leaders of the T admit that it will hardly be sold in this market. That’s why, They have already started the search to replace the spicy 24-year-old striker who is part of the preliminary list of the Paraguayan national team for the Copa América and He is on the radar of clubs abroad.

The main candidate to be Sosa’s successor is Benjamin Dominguezthe 20-year-old youth from Gimnasia who was already searched in January and who This year he scored four goals and one against River at the Monumental: in total he has seven goals in 81 official matches. The other point in Talleres’ sights would be the Peruvian Joao Grimaldoone of Sporting Cristal’s main players.
