What Jorge Brito said about the bomb thrown by Diablito Echeverri in Santiago del Estero

Minutes after the consecration of River in the Champions TrophyIn what was his first match as a starter, Diablito Echeverri dropped a bomb: “I will not renew the contract”. The one who came out to try to keep calm was Jorge Britopresident of the club, who assured: “Maybe in the euphoria of the party he said something that isn’t so true after all”.

Brito said: “I just waved at him, he was angry about what he said, he said what he didn’t want to say.. You have to understand that he is 17 years old, he has enormous potential, a great player, much loved in the team, we are just getting to know him. We have never had any problems with his representative, the human and footballing relationship with him is excellent. There are 13 months left until the contract expires, we will certainly have to define the issues that have to do with this. He wants to be successful at River and play here next year, I’ll stick with that. “His representative will defend the rights of the player and we will defend the rights of the club, I have faith in him and in his representative, it must be something very good for him and very good for the club.”

And on the relationship with the representative of little devilhe added: “I spoke yesterday, this morning, 5 minutes before giving the ticket… He told me I hadn’t read it… Claudio told me that in the euphoria he said something that he didn’t mean to say that way. We are on excellent terms and we are confident that the situation will be resolved favorably for the club and the player. “Let the fans rest assured that Echeverri will play for River next year.”.

Other quotes from Brito:

Title: “An enormous joy to end the year like this, excellent semester, we won the two classics, champions of the championship in the first semester. The year didn’t end in the best way, the elimination with Central was unfair, luckily football This, ending the year with this cup, shows us that River is ready to fight at the top, we have a great team.”

Demichelis: “We are very convinced of Demichelis and his team. It doesn’t seem right to us to lose a cup due to penalties… The important thing is the work done, we start 2024 much better than 2023, a consolidated team, a coach with much more knowledge of Argentine football.

Enzo Perez: “So much gratitude for everything he has been for River. Football has these things, it happened with Ponzio, Pinola, today Maidana. You never end up leaving River. Francescoli is there, Alonso celebrates with us every Sunday. We never close our doors here. Doors to anyone, we will definitely continue to see him as a fan or at work at River in the future. We will miss him as a player, but we will continue to see him.”

From the cross: “The same thing happened last semester, it was taken for granted that he would leave. I cannot deny it, if the clause is filed it exists. We are not in dialogue with Flamengo or with any club. The year ends and we have to see” situation of each player. If there was something that speaks well of him that he didn’t say why he was in the race. We are grateful to him and his representative, we would like there to be a lot of time left, but we must understand that it is the career of professionals there “we must let them pass. In other countries today there is a much bigger difference than in Argentina”.
