Songs and murmurs in River fans, a music foreign to Marcelo Gallardo’s award-winning cycle

“It will be up to us to get out of this situation quickly and win Wednesday’s game. It’s all there because there is very little difference in points and there are still many games to play.”. With that sentence he said goodbye Marcello Gallardo of the candy box after the defeat against Mouth. The Doll tried to take refuge in hope. But Banfield slapped him again and the word crisis is no greater for River’s present.

And people reacted in the Monumentale, which was once again packed. The chants were light, but they existed. Songs with this tenor have not been heard for many years. “Move River / move / move stop fucking“, he came down from the stands in the second half. He was followed by:”Spawn / this afternoon no matter what it takes“. Music is foreign to Gallardo’s award-winning cycle.

It must be said that the songs were neither unanimous nor prolonged. Fans also made it clear Marcelo Gallardo is still a genius and a figure: They cheered him before the match started and after the defeat.

No whistles even when the stadium’s voice announced owners and substitutes. Then, in the game, the most applauded was again Nicola De la Cruz and murmurs were heard towards Tomas Pochettino and Essequiel Barco. There was also a strong disapproval in the first play in which she participated Miguel Borgiawho did not go to fight it and got up to protest.

People have left with their heads down and with the feeling that this will not be the year. The river has the Argentine Cup and the obligation to enter the next Libertadores Cup. There was a cry in the solitude of the Monumentalwhen everyone was gone. The words that came out of the popular club tried to reach the changing rooms. “You must have blood to play, old man”, released the fan. It is completed: “Play for the people”.
