River Plate plays its second friendly of the year in Frisco, Texas, against Mexico’s Pachuca, a match that is affected by the intense cold that hits the United States and which causes this city to suffer temperatures that hover around 2 degrees below zero. It is not the only non-sports situation that attracts attention in the preview.
The stage where the boys led by Martín Demichelis will find themselves playing will be the Toyota Stadium, a stadium inaugurated in 2005 which hosts, for example, FC Dallas, of the MLS. But what was striking about this structure previously called Pizza Hut Park was the paint chosen to decorate the areas.
In addition to the marking of the American football yards, the writing Montana with a brown background on the side and a logo in the central circle, the most curious thing was to see that one of the areas is painted with the colors blue and yellow, in a square, which is rarely view and which gives an even greater informality to the River Plate essay.
The reason for this strange decoration has to do with the Friscobowl, a college football final in which the Montana Grizzlies and the South Dakota Jack Rabbits, wearing an auriazul jersey, participated and ended up winning the championship.
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 gained relevance 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 gone through difficult times and today football give me revenge.” .
Shortly before the match, the Venezuelan showed up with his former teammates hugging and very beautiful.
