River looks askance at the Superclásico with Boca, but first Demichelis has to decide what to do with Barco to receive Banfield

Next Sunday against Banfield at Monumental will be a decisive match for the coach Martin Demichelis. First, she will try to put behind her the controversy that she was generated by the challenge to the authority of Esequiel Barco during the match against Atlético Tucumán; second, and after confirmation of Miguel Borja’s injurywill train some players who he intends to prepare for the Superclásico on Sunday 25th against Boca.

The scandal of Barco’s refusal to award the penalty to Borja has calmed down. Demichelis’ good performance had a lot to do with calming things down in the press conference after the 0-0 draw in Tucumán. “Barco apologized because he is not egocentric and is not a boy who only thinks of himself. In this case he didn’t want to give the ball away, but you learn from everything and you will certainly have a great experience. What we need to talk about at home, we talk about“Micho was released.

Will Barco start against Banfield or will the sanction continue? Demichelis’ intention is to pardon the midfielder; he believes that the lesson was already taught with the start of the first half in Tucumán. Furthermore, Boca is on the horizon and the coach does not intend to take away the confidence of one of the most unstable players in the team.

Boca’s presence in the rearview mirror becomes increasingly gigantic: the coach knows what that classic means for the fans. Last year, River won the two games they played and it was a medal won by the Córdoba coach. And there are players to whom Demichelis will train against Drill while already thinking about the duel against those led by Diego Martínez.

On defense, the winger Marcelo Herrera continues to give the same doubts as always and that is one possibility Augustine Saint Anna playing against Banfield to start emerging as a starter against Boca. The rest of the interpreters come from memory: Paulo Díaz, Leandro González Pirez and Enzo Díaz.

The question mark in midfield is Nicolás Fonseca. The Uruguayan has gone from less to more, but he is a midfielder who struggles to manage physical contact. He usually loses more than he wins. The best thing about his game is his passing between the lines. Since it is assumed that the Superclásico will have strong legs, The presence of Rodrigo Villagra will be important. And to arrive at the match against Boca with pace, he will add minutes this Sunday against Banfield. Ignacio Fernández and Barco will start both matches, while Rodrigo Aliendro He can’t find his level and is in doubt. The good for Demichelis: the injured player recovers Matías Kranevitter and Manuel Lanzini.

And Facundo Colidio’s teammate will be the great theme of the Superclásico preview. Miguel Borja has a small muscle injury in his left adductor and is in doubt. There are four alternatives to replace him and we will have to pay attention to the messages that Dmichelis sends in the match with Banfield.

Pablo Solari He returned from the U-23 Olympic qualifiers and is one of the candidates. The young Agustín Ruberto runs further back. Another possibility is that he gets Franco Mastantuono as a midfielder and Nacho Fernández advances a couple of metres. The last alternative is that of Claudio little devil Echeverri will play as a midfielder.

Banfield appears in River, in a match to leave behind some ghosts and start preparing for the Superclásico against Boca.
