River: Gallardo thinks of new changes in search of lost regularity

River he will be looking to start having regularity when they take on Newell’s this Saturday night. Not only from the results but also from the game. This is what you mean Marcello Gallardowho knows that his team will be forced to add three to that of the Rosario, in a Monumentale that will once again be packed for the 18th consecutive game.

Don’t lose sight of the ones above and try to deduct points. This is the great goal of River, who will try to transform the heartbreaking victory against Independiente into a mental and football injection to find the necessary regularity that allows him to fight for the Professional League and the entrance of the Libertadores Cup 2023.

And he will only face Newell’s, a club that was a game changer for River last year. It is that the 4-1 victory in Rosario, for the 11th round of the championship, was the beginning of a comebackin which he won eight consecutive victories, which led him to the title.

On the other hand, River will be looking for a win to get stronger at home. Is that he has had two tough defeats at Monumental in this league, before Sarmiento (1-2) and Godoy Cruz (0-2) and he has only won two of the five games he has played there so far. And in addition to the two aforementioned games he lost, he drew 0-0 with Atlético Tucumán, the leader of the competition.

For the game against Newell’s, Gallardo will not repeat the team that went out on the pitch in the victory over Independiente last Sunday in Avellaneda: he will make a forced variation since Esequiel Barco has not finished recovering from a muscle discomfort and in his place will enter Nicolás De La Cruz and another tactic: Borja for Beltran.

In midfield, beyond the Uruguayan’s entrance, the coach will keep the 4-1-4-1 stopped at the Libertadores de América. The other four members of the midfield would be the same: Enzo Pérez as a central midfielder; Rodrigo Aliendro and Agustín Palavecino in front of him and Pablo Solari on the right.

Therefore, the Doll will ratify Pérez. The captain quickly recovered from a left knee injury and although Bruno Zuculini made a strong performance against Independiente when he replaced him, Mendoza’s man will continue as a starter. And in attack he will give Borja a chance from the beginning, who entered well against Rojo, ahead of Lucas Beltrán.

In defense, meanwhile, everything seems clear. Without David Martínez, who is recovering from the tear just before the game against Avellaneda’s men, Emanuel Mammana and Paulo Díaz (he was a father for the second time) will continue in the central defense, with Milton Casco and Elías Gómez, who despite the poor performance is supported on the left because Gallardo can’t find anyone who can cover the right beyond Casco as Robert Rojas would be back in September and Andrés Herrera doesn’t see him well in football.

So, to play against Newell’s, River would form with: Franco Armani; Milton Casco, Emanuel Mammana, Paulo Diaz, Elias Gomez; Enzo Perez; Pablo Solari, Rodrigo Aliendro, Agustín Palavecino, Nicolás de la Cruz; and Miguel Borgia.
