River’s visit to Lanús ran into a high temperature. Not only for the intense and oppressive heat of Saturday, but also for the controversies that surrounded the triumph of the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, the scandal that occurred after Darío Herrera’s final whistle and the statements that the coach Martin Demichelis delivered once the 2-0 ended: he exploded against Frank Dario Kudelka and criticized the conditions they had to endure when they landed at La Fortaleza stadium.
“For me, the team was the key, it’s not easy to come here and take the three points. We didn’t even have air conditioning in the locker room, we didn’t have the best pre-match facilities, the opposing coach didn’t even come to greet me. We knew she was going to be tough. We had to show a reaction and we demonstrated it”, launched ‘Micho’, at the press conference.
During the first half, the coach ‘Millionaire’ had also come across the captain of the ‘Granate’ Lautaro Acosta, from whom he hid a ball when the attacker tried to make a quick bank. Despite several years in Europe, the former Argentine international defender has evidently not lost his Creole vivacity.
All the sentences of Demichelis in the press conference
“By winning here we were able to strengthen ourselves again. We’ve always had the same harmony, we were aware of how the match would be. We had to become strong from balance, which was what we lacked. We took three very important points, the group will come out of it harder”.
“I know River fans want to see more elegant football. I hope that after the defeat we have learned that this will help maintain order in midfield. Today we are playing against an opponent who plays well with midfielders, who loosens them up a lot. We hope that We will one day be the car River dreams of being, we are on that quest.”
“The group got very hurt after the penalty in front of many of our team. We suffered that break, we lost, but the group trained excellently the next day. Here are the results and we won”.
“From my position, it is difficult to pin down arbitration awards with certainty. But they have taken the time to analyze them. However, they will never hear me criticize a decision, whether good or bad. Eventually there was a discussion and I I’m broken”.
We live in a country with a lot of passion, it’s unique. Today was a football battle. In such a passionate country, we are all coaches. I accept criticism, I have to know how to listen and correct. They criticized the fact that Enzo was only in the center and I tried to put together a more organized team and we grew up against a big team. We had to break their mechanism in half. We won a very important match, with great physical effort.”
“I congratulate my players. I try to live this naturally, I spend hours and hours at the Camp looking for the best way for my training. We have to go much more, we have to be much more dominant from possession. Today we had to reorganize, a blow would have been very hard. We won”.
“I want to play something else, I want to finish like the first half, with very long possessions, that the rival doesn’t even get to the ball. We will expand that over time. When we reach that in the 90s, we will be a great equipment.”
“In such a modernized world, technology is here to stay. I can’t compare it to Europe. In England today there was a very clear hand that they didn’t charge there and here they certainly did. Interpretation depends on each The VAR has come to settle, I trust”.
