Suddenly it became a nightmare. Liberators which seems to be made for riveraccessible in the group stage, round of 16 and quarterfinals as well, where the final single match is scheduled to Monumental. The unparalleled setting has been turned into a labyrinth that seems impossible to unravel. nothing river whatever it costs. nothing Marcelo Gallardo whatever it costs. In Belo Horizonte, in the first leg semi-final against the first real strong rivals of the Cup, the millionaires fell. appear Atlético Mineiro, Gabriel Milito and Deyverson with a big mast, with pure power. AND river he remains in a state of stock, trembling, almost removed from this Cup that obsesses him.
“We did not expect this result. It is very difficult. They are strong and it is difficult for us. Everything is possible in football, but we have to play a good game at home and make no mistakes,” he said. Franco Armani 0-3 barely sealed. And it’s true.
Gallant replaced Martin Demichelis before the start of the round of 16. The Doll returns to river with the hope of repeating the golden years, the cup victories. But this is another story. There were no leaders or talent like that in those days. And the team could not find a way back. Against Miner It is very clear.
The MRV Arena in Belo Horizonte put on a sensational show to welcome Atlético Mineiro with black and white smoke and fireworks. And that reception seemed to strengthen the Brazilian team and diminish the Argentine team.
Yes Miner is more than river Also because Milito’s plan is better than Gallardo’s. Gaby won the strategic duel against Muñeco, who lost due to an injury in the warm-up at Marcos Acuñawho suffered from tendonitis he suffered, a loss that was not valid as a reason.
El Muñeco tried to avoid surprises with a line of five defenders, with the unexpected presence of Nicolás Fonseca in the center of midfield. But on the other side evening He responded with long balls for three attacking men (Hulk, Deyverson and Paulinho) which he placed against three millionaire central defenders.
And with that resource, Miner taken advantage of. After a long delivery, Hulk put his body in, easily dispossessing World Cup player Germán Pezzella and opening the way for Deyverson to leave Franco Armani and slot it gently into the empty net.
Mineiro was closer to second in that first period than River was in the tie. The one in Gallant They only combined one left kick Facundo Colidio which passes near an angle.
The face of Gallantwho expressed great annoyance, was confirmed 15 minutes into the second half the entire midfield changed. Outside, Santiago Simón, Fonseca and Nacho Fernández. inside, Maxi Meza, Rodrigo Villagra and Manuel Lanzini.
Just a while ago Gallant It also included Pablo Solari and Adam Bareiro for Colidio and Miguel Borja, with 20 minutes remaining, Mineiro rose again to deliver two heavy blows. And he didn’t do it with balls. I have other sources…
2-0 came with a collective play, with a pure touch, and he screamed again Deyverson with a left-footed cross that hit a post and went in before the helplessness of Pezzella and Armani. And just then, at the exit to one side, with the millionaire defense sleeping, Deyverson attended Paulinho, who celebrated 3-0 with a shot from outside that found some luck deflecting off Paulo Díaz and missing Armani.
Gallant He was not wrong: “Nothing turned out as we thought. We were not the tough team we should have been. They scored a very easy goal against us. We could not respond to people. Nothing is impossible, but in We have to play a perfect match , we should think and do the opposite of what we did today as.
