His teams had added three units in three games at the beginning of the season championship 2016-2017 Y 2018-19. But, beyond the statistics, the Doll sent a reassuring message: “We are in a bad streak but we must not despair or be confused”. He wasn’t worried, although he was attentive to this complicated situation. “Sometimes we have to make better decisions”recognized.

The River manager elaborated on the analysis, after the defeat against Colón, in Santa Fe: “Justifying a loss is never easy. But we failed to capture the game passes we made with a goal. We failed to convert into those good times we had and then paid dearly for it in our lens. Their goal has impressed us too much “.

Regarding the decisions of the VAR (Wanchope Ábila’s goal was validated by technology, which established that the former Boca striker was on the same line as the last River defender despite the 1 assistant, Facundo Rodríguez, having raised the flag ), Gallardo said: “The answer takes too long, especially with advanced positions. It took too long to draw the lines. And this goes against the game, it makes it not flow”.

And he concluded: “I congratulated Loustau at the end of the first half for the dynamic that was there and because he helped the game to have dynamism. And I saw the game of the goal and it is very beautiful “.

On the subject of reinforcements, Gallardo was not as punctual as in the previous press conference and avoided referring in particular to Luis Suárez or to another player. “We will do whatever is within our reach. After that, what does not depend on us is something else. There is no news so far. And we will continue to work so that what is within our reach can happen “hill.
