Tempered by the passage of time, experience and the trajectory he carries on his shoulders to face the most important match in Argentine football, the Doll You know it’s not just another party. And the concern for arbitration is latent. Here because, The River manager has once again targeted the men with the whistle to demand more training and better performance.

Gallardo did not like the arbitration of German dolphin in the match against Barracas Central at the Monumental. He let him know as soon as they asked him. And he raised his guard again. Not only to question the referees, but also the organization of Argentine football.

“I particularly didn’t like it (Germán Delfino). But with Argentine arbitration something is already happening and I am not saying it, almost all football says so. Everyone complains and when that happens you have to pay attention. Not a complaint of one … Everyone complains. In this we are all fairly even. It has always happened. But now it seems to be more pronounced ”, questioned the coach River.

And he continued: “We have to review some things that have to do with the revision of our football. That it doesn’t become something bad, something decadent. In itself we have a messed up league, difficult to understand and to play, and when all these things appear we have to try to see if we can maintain better football if we can all help as coaches, I join that, the players, the referees, the executives, the public, you (the journalists). We all have to contribute something in order not to become a decadent circus that is what you don’t want“.

As for the Superclásico scheduled for Sunday at the Bombonera, Gallardo tries send a message of calm to their players to face a match that could be decisive for River and Boca’s aspirations to fight for the championship. The fact is that, however much the stakes are, for the coach of the “Millionaire” team on Sunday at the Bombonera nothing is defined.

“Sunday’s match will be crucial, according to the expectations that both teams have to recover in the fight, but it will not be final. In any case, yes, it will be a great incentive for that team that can force itself to look at the tournament with better expectations ”, said Gallardo at a press conference after his team’s victory over Barracas Central. And he added: “Everything is at stake, in order to continue to have expectations of being able to get closer, in these last ten games everything remains at stake”.

And on the basis of the importance of Superclásico, especially psychologically, Gallardo commented: “The game must be played on Sunday. This is why previous matches are always uncomfortable. Today’s game (due to Sunday’s match against Barracas Central) was uncomfortable because next weekend’s game is always in mind, and nobody wants to lose it, and this implies having to see how it develops as a footballer too, thinking about that match “. And he added:” For us the match against Barracas was more important than the one on Sunday because if we hadn’t won today we would have been too far behind in the league. And then from there Sunday’s match will be prepared in the best of ways. ways “.

Gallardo also talked about how his team is coming up and felt that “we are a bit better, but not as we would like”. And he elaborated on the topic: “We were able to score points at home and it was what we had lost, as a guest in the last two games we were not able to score the three points we would have liked, which allowed us in a holding position in the tournament “.

The mental is always fundamental in football and even more so in a Superclásico, especially for those who play it for the first time. Faced with this situation, Gallardo expressed: “To those who will experience a Superclásico for the first time, I tell them that there is always a first time for everything and it is a special event. It seems to me that from that place we will accompany them throughout the week so that they feel as comfortable as possible and that they arrive without pressure ”.
