Demichelis and the two reasons for his dear silence on the eve of the crucial duel for River

There is a lot of tension at River. To the point that all you think about is this Wednesday’s final Argentina Super Cup and the consequences it could have, whatever the outcome. The head is fine Students since a few days ago. There is much more at stake than a title. And this is what occupies the mind Martin Demichelis.

The technical director sees this match as a fundamental match for the future. She rests her head on the pillow and thinks only of that duel. And although he had said in front of Independiente that he would focus on Estudiantes only after the Avellaneda classic, the truth is that his concern for Pincha was already in his mind before going to the Libertadores de América.

His body showed signs of that reason. In the press conference after the victory against Independiente Rivadavia, Micho seemed subdued. And the question-and-answer exchange was shorter than usual. And after the duel with Independiente at the Ricardo Bochini he didn’t speak directly.

Sources close to the coach confessed this Clarion that the reasons why he decided not to face the microphones were two: on the one hand, due to the team’s poor production. On the other hand, the morbidity of comparison with Enzo Perez in the Super Cup final.

Some of the questions would be directed at that topic. There was no doubt. AS, Demichelis preferred to take cover. And don’t step on the stickin the face of some statements which then had a strong resonance and circulated in the media and further increased the tension in view of the duel against the team in which the former River captain plays.

It is known: Enzo Pérez left Núñez in disagreement with Micho. And the most convincing proof of this was that in his last match, in the final of the Champions Trophy against Rosario Central, in Santiago del Estero, when he left the playing field, The man from Mendoza greeted everyone except Demichelis.

The River coach knows that the morbidity of his relationship with Pérez is inevitable in view of the final against Estudiantes. Here because He doesn’t want to deviate from the football focus and prepare his team as best as possible, both tactically and mentally.. Even more so after leaving a pale image in Avellaneda, where he saved a point after playing a bad match against Independiente.

Also so shocking is this final for Demichelis He didn’t care much about getting a fine for not holding the press conference.which amounts to two million pesosequivalent to the gross value of 250 general tickets, the value of each of which is 8,000 pesos, as communicated by the offices of the Professional League.

That way, Demichelis reiterated a scene that had not occurred for five months. The last time he did not speak after a match was after the Superclásico victory at La Bombonera on 1 October last year. But it was in a very different situation: River had beaten Boca and Micho He chose to take a backseat, to lower his profile and to leave the players as the only protagonists of his success as a guest.

Now, immersed in that adverse football contextbeyond the fact that paradoxically his team is undefeated this year, Demichelis chose to remain silent. And it is no coincidence that he did it in view of a final in which he will face Enzo Pérez, the River reference with whom he did not finish well.
