River knows that a silver bullet is played in the Argentine Cup and is revealed with another one-on-one against Boca

Every time that River he leaves Buenos Aires to go into the interior of the country, the province where he lives a real revolution. And La Rioja was no exception. From the airport to the hotel where the team was staying Millionairethere was a caravan of fans and the party for the presence of the team Marcelo Gallardor it included a flag of over 140 meters, a truck with a DJ, smoke bombs, dozens of red and white rockets and a large number of people.

The welcome was a pampering for a team that arrived in La Rioja beaten after the defeat with Cordoba workshops and farewell to the fight for the championship title. And this is why the bet is now on the Argentine Cup, the silver bullet River left to try to save the year and in which this Wednesday he will compete for the quarter-finals against the Patronato, which will make news for the championship, in which his stay in the First is played.

Núñez’s team is suffering from a football crisis as never happened in the Gallardo cycle. But the story is not over and the Doll he clings to the last chip for his team’s reaction, which will try to focus his players on a specific goal. And as in other times of his time, that carrot that appears on the street is Boca.

And despite the fact that in the last two years the clashes with the eternal rival have been balanced and the emotional factor with which River has started winning the games against him no longer weighs so much. Xeneize, in Núñez you can breathe the thirst to go back to those times. It is that Gallardo’s team not only aim for a win against Patronato which will bring him some relief and rank him in the semifinals of the Argentine Cup, but will also chase the eventual crossing against Boca – if Quilmes wins heads-up. – in the next instance.

Coincidentally, at the beginning of 2018, River was going through a football mini-crisis and the carrot was the final against Boca for the Argentine Super Cup. And in view of that duel, Gallardo’s team began to change energies from a 1-0 to Patronato in Paranáhe later beat his classic rival in Mendoza and turned that year into one of the best in his history after also defeating Xeneize in the Copa Libertadores final.

There was another campus, of course. With more hierarchy and personality, true. But this river wants to transform chance into causality. And even if the absences of his selected Franco Armani, Paulo Díaz and Nicolás De La Cruz weigh, and lost Santiago Simón to injury and Emanuel Mammana arrives injured, Gallardo will try to find the variants (Andrés Herrera and Enzo Pérez return) to be able to find at least one answer in this forgettable 2022 for him and his family.
