Marcelo Gallardo bets on his 7 good: if Suárez is for more than 45 minutes, he starts with Boca

Marcello Gallardo generally has a card up his sleeve, especially in the important games played by the River. And in front of the Superclásico on Sunday at the Bombonera, the Doll will try to get the 7 bravo. The coach is betting on Matías Suárez, although he must first evaluate Cordovan’s week to determine if he will play from the start or if he will save for the second half.

The decision is made. According to what he was able to discover Clarin, If Suárez responds well in training and they see him able to play more than 45 minutes, he will leave replace Pablo Solari, who started kinesiology work after a slight tear in his left femur in Sunday’s match against Barracas Central.

without going too far, Gallardo decided on Oreja to replace Solari himself against Barracas and Cordovan were essential to give clarity to the team, to keep the ball in the hottest moments of the game and also to assist Miguel Borja in the 2-0 that marked history.

Suárez’s income has been decisive in recent times for River. He closes the defeat (4-1) against Newell’s with a great goal to hang in the area, gives him the three points against Independiente with the definition of the time and transforms the goal that led the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against the Vélez on penalties, but the goal was canceled at the request of the VAR for an alleged hand that the Chilean referee Roberto Tobar has never seen. And in the first half he had also had important participations and with a goal against Colo Colo in Chile, Banfield and Alianza Lima in Peru.

However, Suárez’s contributions have generally been when he came off the substitutes’ bench in the second half, especially this semester, where he suffered a tear and was heavily affected by a flu. Then, he added the minutes little by little so as to increase the pace and not generate excessive wear that would have left him on the verge of another muscle injury.

In fact, in the last match against Barracas Central it was the one in which Suárez added more minutes, playing almost half an hour. Hence, during this week he will be required to physically high intensity to see if he can act more than once (at least 60 minutes), since he has not been a starter since April 24, when River drew 1-1 against the club. ‘Atlético Tucumán.

If the final analysis determines that Suárez won’t be there for more than a while, then there are chances for Esequiel Barco or Miguel Borja.. On the sidelines, there is confidence that Suárez can complete a great week of work ahead of the most important match in Argentine football.

Eleven months after the operation on his right knee for synovitis that had abused him and a surgery that took place days after the Superclásico that River beat Boca at the Monumental on 3 October last year in which he entered in the final minutes, the Cordovan has a great chance if he is able to make it.
