The win in the classic against San Lorenzo brought calm to the River after a difficult week, with two consecutive defeats, against Boca and Banfield and a very erratic performance of the team. And that calm, beyond what happened on the playing field of the New Gasometer, began to be transmitted by the president of the club, Jorge Britoin the afternoon of Bajo Flores when speaking on the continuity of Marcelo GallardoWhich has a contract until next December.

“We are thinking about next year as if Gallardo were there, just like we did last year without the certainty that he was there. It is the same attitude as last year”, said Brito talking with radio machine gun, In the race for the classic, and confirmed that River is already thinking about what will come, as the Doll said in a press conference after the match with Banfield.

He immediately added: “As Gallardo and this management have always done, when we arrive at this time of year (September-October), when we already have to plan for next year, we are planning it together: training staff and managers, thinking of everything. what comes, like the preseason … We are aligned ”.

On the way in which he sees Gallardo, Brito was frank: “I see him very well, this is what adults do: in difficult moments it is better than in good times. He is doing very well, like the players and the rest of the coaching staff. “

And beyond the moments of irregularity of the team, the president expressed: “We are very calm with the group, which is very united. Yesterday (for Saturday) we were having dinner and today (for Sunday) we had lunch. They look good It’s a year. where so many players have joined and we always need an adaptation. It has never happened to us like this year that so many have arrived. But I am confident that they will continue to adapt and we will give a change to the team. “

For now, Gallardo’s team is in first continental place in the annual ranking and is also on its way to the Copa Argentina, but given the irregularity it has shown during the year, it cannot be trusted. And besides sports and economics, playing Libertadores for Brito is essential for other reasons as well. “It is essential to rank the Libertadores for River’s history and for our people.”assured the president of the Núñez club.
