River vs Boca: Demichelis’ hidden card and Almirón’s surprise factor that could unlock the Superclásico

An exaggeration is usually made when it is stated that the River vs Mouth It will paralyze the whole country. But something true hides the pompous affirmation: there is no party that arouses more passions in this soil than Super classic which will be played this Sunday from 17:30 in the renovated and expanded Monumentalwhich will receive more than 83,000 spectators and that she’ll dress for a party, they were instructed to notify by the Núñez Cast Fan Subcommittee.

A good game cannot be guaranteed no matter how much the coaches bet good foot players. What will be yes or yes will be tension. And maybe you will also see a hard-fought, hot, much-discussed duel, especially taking into account the performances of River at the Maracaná against Fluminense and Boca against Racing at the Bombonera: both entered and did not hesitate when it came to the guapeadas, the pushes .

Aesthetics will be discussed later. In the preview, it is assumed that River will take center stage in how the team has performed and because of the players they tend to lean towards Martin Demichelis. In recent days he has made sure that Micho’s only doubt is to determine Leandro’s partner González Pirez in central defence. The ideal for the coach was to be able to count on Paulo Díaz, who 15 days ago suffered a strain to his left hamstring. But the Chilean was asked in practice on Saturday and did not respond. Therefore, this industry will continue to occupy it Emmanuel Mammanawith weak performance in Brazil.

By now Demichelis must be used to being compared to Marcelo Gallardo. The question becomes inevitable. Il Bambolotto surprised in the duels against Boca: he always kept an ace up his sleeve and threw it in the amazement of many minutes before the start. Do you have what to give a Demichelis effect coup? Obviously. An interesting move – and which has been talked about in the last few hours – would be the incorporation of Pablo Solari play on the right flank of the attack, where the youth team will defend Valentine boat. Due to Colo’s inexperience, that sector may hold the key to local attacks. Another possibility would be the inclusion of a top striker, such as Miguel Borja or Salomón Rondón to accompany the undisputed Luca Beltran.

It happens that it is complex to remove one of the midfielders to insert a striker. The semester taught DT that Rodrigo Aliendro must be Enzo Pérez’s assistant. Esequiel Barco is the one with the best gift. The historic Ignacio Fernández, from a weak semester, and Nicolás De la Cruz remain. Would Demichelis be encouraged to relegate Nacho to the substitute bench? Is Nacho a footballer to get out of the starting team? These and other questions are what Demichelis is answering.

The blow on the table that Jorge Almirón could give would be to come out and put pressure on River in the rival field, try to suffocate him, attack him voraciously. This is usually the coach’s philosophy. But his few days at Boca found him more level-headed. That’s why he insists that he would be a surprise if the visitor assumes a leading role in the Monumental.

Almirón will not be able to count on the suspended Martín Payero, a player who had placed him well in midfield. The substitute would be Christian Medina, who usually comes on best from the substitutes’ bench. The remaining possibility is Ezekiel Fernandezwho also didn’t have any great early games.

On the Boca side, the version that Almirón could choose to leave has been allowed to run a defense with 5 players. There, Nicolás Valentini would come on for Marcelo Weigandt. But that move would cause Luis Advincula return to your starting point. There is no need to recall that the Peruvian has been the protagonist in the last two games playing as a midfielder or right winger.

With a 4-4-2 or with a 5-3-2 the two forwards will be Sebastian Villa and Luis Vazquez. The speed of the Colombian invites you to play on the counterattack. Although the presence of the scorer Vázquez could be due to the fact that he usually intensely contests the exits of rival defenders. Wait or press, both strategies can be adapted to Xeneizes attackers.

Nothing says that River will arrive in the duel after being beaten in Brazil and that Boca will arrive after winning two fundamental matches like Racing and Colo Colo in Chile. lThe Superclásicos are separate matches, it states without hesitation. And the sentence is never a lie.
