Today River waits San Lorenzo at the Monumental and it has only one objective: WIN. After de tie outside home against Gimnasia, wasting the chance to be at just one point from the top and with the absolute need to sum up three points, Astrada and the squad know this match could be a hinge match.
From 19:10, River will be hosting San Lorenzo, for the the seventh match of the Torneo Clausura. The group led by Leonardo Astrada was unable to secure a victory at the Monumental in any of the three presentations and they are obligated to get these three points.
A decade ago the Antonio Vespucio Liberti caused fear in River’s rivals. Getting a point was a real challenge, and even a good paper served as a consolation. Unfortunately, things had changed a lot. Soccer team’s levels changed a lot in Argentina and around the world and eight years of a bad management caused River lost great players and ended to at what it is today. As a result, lost it has a leading role and no one goes to the very calm to the Monumental.
Marcelo “El muñeco” Gallardo boots from the beginning and Almeyda and Paulo Ferrari are back after the sactions, so River will be going for the three points with a 4-2-2-2.
