Despite River having resigned two points at home after the draw against Atlético Tucumán, Marcelo Gallardo is satisfied with what his side have done, although he was concerned about the lack of a goal.
“We weren’t efficient in defining. It was a tight match. Sometimes the difference between winning, losing or drawing is the effectiveness of the rival goal. Score a goal. Simply that. And today we didn’t have it ”, admitted the“ millionaire ”coach. And he added: “If we had a better definition we would have won the game.
Beyond the inefficiency that River had, as Gallardo pointed out, the coach highlighted what his team did: “We had possession of the ball, we generated plays, we did merit to win the game but we were unable to convert “.
And if we talk about the lack of goals, the shortage of strikers in the squad comes to light. In this sense, River is moving to bring players to that sector of the pitch. And the illusion is to convince Luis Suárez.
“I talked to him because I know him and have a good relationship. I asked him if he wanted to come and play with us ”, acknowledged Gallardo. And he added: “The player appreciated our interest and takes it into consideration. Your arrival is not up to us. Yes, we can give him all the conditions so that he can feel good and think about his goal, which is the World Cup. But it’s your decision. You have to be patient”.
And in reference to the market, the Doll has made no secret of its anger with the management.
“We weren’t aggressive enough on the market. We hope to be able to clarify in the coming weeks “, he fired. And added:” I also hope that the injured and the missing who return from the national teams will recover. “
