Demichelis and the uncomfortable rumors that reach River at the most inopportune moment

The editorial published by the German site Sports1 to those who applied Martin Demichelis as a candidate to supplant Thomas Tuchel as DT’s Bayern Monaco it generated a ricochet effect that set off the alarms inside River. But beyond the fact that the coach’s entourage categorically denies a possible departure for Núñez, his phone has not stopped ringing in the last few hours. And everything suggests that this Friday will continue in a frenetic manner. The fact is that due to the alleged interest of his former club, strong rumors are now circulating from Spain, where they have made it known that Barcelona FC has Micho in the pipeline as Xavi’s successor.

Just as the rumor linking Demichelis to the Bavarian club was gaining great value, especially thanks to its viralisation on social networks, The situation did not go unnoticed by Demichelis. But when the turbulence seemed to calm down, from the program The Chiringuito Jugones, from Spanish television, labeled the coach as someone who is liked by another major European club like Barcelona. A point that strikes you? He knows Pole Robert Lewandowski thoroughly and “likes his winning mentality”as they claim.

Thus, while consultations on its continuity do not cease, Micho He is going through a delicate moment under the orders of the Millionaire.

That’s the DT He is navigating in not entirely calm waters and is about to begin a series of transcendental encounters for his future. The coach must above all keep his head focused the weekend match against Talleresa rival that currently appears to be his kryptonitein a duel where you can’t afford to leave points along the way.

This Saturday’s match, which will start at 9.30pm, not only presents itself as a complex duel because it will be played against the always complicated Mario Alberto Kempes, but Even the latest antecedents do not bode well.: two defeats and only one victory. IT eliminated River from the 2023 Argentine Cup and beat them the last time they met in Córdoba. Demichelis only managed to win when they met at the Monumental, for the last League Cup.

The result of the match also plays a fundamental role considering the ranking: River is fourth in zone A, but a fall to Talleres would leave them out of the four teams that qualified for the play-offs.

Furthermore, a defeat would extend Núñez’s team’s losing streak at local level, as they have drawn in their last three appearances. The last victory dates back to the duel against Riestra, on the 4th day. A victory seems like an almost inevitable result to restore calm to the Millionaire.

A fact that does not go unnoticed in River Plate today, and which has caused rumors from Germany to spread vigorously, is that The fans’ opinion on Demichelis is not entirely positive.

After this winless streak, including the Superclásico, on more than one occasion The stands of the Monumental sang ‘Movete, River, movete’ consequence of a sporting performance that does not entirely convince the Band’s fans.

However, voices from Germany show a different perspective. If the coach is considered by the German press as a successor at the level of Thomas Tuchel, it means that in Europe they have faith in his working style. and that the sensations left by his stay in the Bayern Munich youth team were positive. The same line is followed in Barcelona. “I like their type of school”, they say from Spain.

Demichelis, however, is already looking to the match that can change the apparent instability that is going through his cycle at River: the Super Cup against Estudiantes de La Plata, on March 13th.

The morbidity that could cause what will Enzo Pérez’s first match against River After his departure it is another of the extra condiments that the final will have.

A victory over Pincha will clear up any doubts. It would allow the Córdoba coach to win the third title of his cycle and put the questions to rest. While a defeat can further deepen the River world’s opinion of his cycle.

Becoming champion would not only allow Demichelis to largely rebuild his relationship with those fans who look at him with suspicion.but it can also give a positive boost to the whole team to complete the qualification for the League Cup quarter-finals and await their debut in Serie A. Copa Libertadores sail in calm waters, away from any possible turbulence.

Likewise, Demichelis’ landing in Germany proposed by European portals seems to have to wait. At the moment the DT has several objectives to achieve. Each of them aims to trigger the same ending: for a packed Monumental to once again chant his name, as happened in the first half of 2023, lifting the Professional League to a high level.
