Minister Caputo’s message to Martín Demichelis for the River defeat: “There is a statistical fact that defies date after date”

River’s defeat The 1-0 against Huracán at the Tomás A. Ducó had a profound impact on the Millonario fans, who had to endure the bitter pill of Friday night. And among these, one who was very upset by the team’s performance was the Minister of Economy, Luis Toto Caputo.

Around midnight, when the team suffers its first defeat Martin Demichelis in the League Cup it was already worn out, the minister was unable to hold back his desire and decided to take advantage of his 4-0 in the friendly against Independiente Rivadavia.

The River coach’s constant changes in the starting lineup worry the fans who blame him for the lack of security and the doubts generated by the players who don’t know whether or not they have a guaranteed place. In the 12 championship matches, Demichelis has never repeated the eleven.

“There is a statistic that Demichelis disputes from today: There is no precedent for a coach who changes teams every match and does well. Not one. Not even Muñeco could beat this statistic in his senior year. I hope it’s an exception!”wrote the minister with a hint of irony.

Caputo’s tweet immediately went viral and received great support from River fans, perplexed and angry after the defeat at Parque de los Patricios. However, The official decided to delete it from the networks a few hours later so as not to offend the sensitivity of the DT.who had already had a harsh confrontation with a journalist at a press conference on the same topic.

He “statistics” to which Caputo refers is correct: in the 12 rounds of the League Cup Demichelis has never repeated itself, except between Vélez and Deportivo Riestra, between dates 3 and 4. However, in the midst of those matches, Millonario played his match for the 32nd Argentine Cup final, when they beat Excursionistas 3–0 and Demichelis used a different formation. So so far this semester the same eleven have never played consecutive matches.
