Riverled by Martín Demichelis, plays a new pre-season friendly against i Pachuca, from 6.30 pm in our country, in the American city of Dallas, in the last week of work before the official start of the League Cup. The match against the Mexican team, who added the Venezuelan striker Salomón Rondón After the surprise departure from Millonario last December, it will be played at the Toyota Stadium in the Texan city with live television on the Star+ signal.
River, who just drew 2-2 against an MLS team in a behind closed doors match over the weekend and against Monterrey 1-1, will finish their preseason this Saturday in the third friendly they will play against Pachuca.
The match became relevant thanks to the latest statements from Rondón, who after making his debut with a goal for Pachuca spoke about his fleeting period at River: “I’m very happy, it was something I needed, I had been through difficult times and today football gives me revenge”.
Demichelis will field his ideal eleven with some adjustments on each line, plus the return of Miguel Borja in attack, Ramiro Funes Mori and perhaps a save from Centurión against Franco Armani’s discomfort.
As for Pachuca, they are in full competition because the Mexican championship started last weekend by beating Cruz Azul 1-0 with a goal from Rondón and the second round match against León was postponed to February.
Pachuca, in addition to Rondón, has a former River player in its ranks, central defender Gustavo Cabral, who forms a defensive pairing with Formosa’s Sergio Barreto, who began his career at Independiente.
