River and the lack of a goal: a concern that grows awaiting the response from Luis Suárez

The question all River fans have asked themselves is whether Luis Suárez will come to strengthen the team. And much more after another zero zero for Marcelo Gallardo’s team, which suffers not only from the drought of the goals but also from the absence of forwards. Against Atlético Tucumán he had Julián Álvarez, but not even with the young wonder did he manage to beat Carlos Lampe, goalkeeper of the dean and figure of the night at the Monumental.

It’s unusual for River not to score goals. He can play well, badly or just like that, but in general he almost always converts. In fact, for more than a year, they had not accumulated two consecutive 0-0 victories as they do now, when they drew goalless against Racing and Arsenal, between the end of March and the beginning of April 2021.

Once again it has been revealed that River is dependent on Álvarez to score. And if Julián (perhaps he felt the fatigue of the trip with the national team) is not in the best version of him, the goal is poor or does not appear directly. Gallardo bet in the second half that Álvarez would leave the 9-point space free for a midfielder to break in, but the team did not succeed. And in the last few minutes he has sent a Brian Romero, but the former Defense and Justice is still at a low level and without confidence. This results in pale definitions when given the chance. And the arc gets smaller and smaller. In fact, since March 13, it has not transformed into a 4-0 victory against Gimnasia: 17 games have passed. Meanwhile, Matías Suárez continues to recover from a tear and it is assumed that he will be available against Colón.

However, concern about the “9” grows. Especially since Álvarez will be gone in a month since he joins Manchester City. Hence, all guns point to illusion for Luis Suárez. “I don’t like to talk so much about the negotiations, but the Suárez thing is true”, confirmed the president Jorge Brito on the radio show Atilio Costa Febre. Even though he was honest: “We depend on transfer times, which in Europe only ends on August 31st. And we don’t have that time. However, one or two players are about to arrive ”.

For Luis Suárez a response is expected between the end of this week and the beginning of the next. However, other negotiations remain open, by Miguel Borja and Valentín Castellanos. Meanwhile, Lucas Beltrán is expected to be resolved this week and he will return from Colón de Santa Fe to Núñez.

Meanwhile, River tries to recover the goals that he does not have today.
