Demichelis burst into tears after Mastantuono’s great goal that marked his farewell to River

In Martín Demichelis’ last role as coach, River beat Sarmiento de Junín 1-0 with a great goal from the kid Mastantuono that made the millionaire coach explode with emotion.

‘Micho”s path was slowed down by the criticism he received for his team’s play and an internal noise that did not help him withstand the pressure from the fans, taking into account the proximity of the round of 16 matchup of the Libertadores Cup against Talleres de Córdoba. Meanwhile, all roads lead to the return of Marcelo Gallardo, the winningest manager in the club’s history.

But, the departure of Martín Demichelis (and the rumors that assume the return of Marcelo Gallardo) decompressed and the climate of convulsion that was experienced in the week in River after the defeat with Godoy Cruz changed.

So much so that when the coach came out onto the field wearing a black River t-shirt with the red and white stripe crossed, he was received with applause from the San Martín audience and he was seen excited. Meanwhile, his son Bastian, a ball catcher, cried on the side. And his wife Evangelina Anderson was also shedding tears in a box.

Of course, the afternoon at the Monumental was not completely sweetened. The fans targeted the players from the moment they were warming up and before the game started.

Sarmiento played the usual game and for almost 90 minutes, River did not find the key to open Acosta’s goal. It was a gray ending to the Demichelis cycle, although everything would end in the best way.

The thing is that, at 87 minutes, Arasa whistled a free kick for River and the latest millionaire jewel, the kid Franco Mastanuono, appeared to give the victory to the technical director who made him debut in the first team.

The boy’s great goal made Demichelis’ anguish explode and he burst into tears, heartbroken, knowing that his first stage as a coach at the club he loved was ending. THE DT was hugged by his assistants, Pinola and Lux, while his son Bastian joined in from behind and his wife, Evangelina, cried from one of the boxes at the Monumental.
