“I want him to stay at River until the end of my term”

The president of River, Jorge Britospoke the day after obtaining the Super Cup with a 2-1 victory against Estudiantes at the Kempes stadium in Córdoba. The leader put the focus on the coach, Martin Demicheliswho received insults during the match and was later recognized for his merits with the changes against Pincha.

“Absolutely, I want Demichelis to accompany me until the end of my term. I am convinced that this is how River will be, it is a club of excellence and the demand from members and fans is increasing and it is good that it should be that way.. Sometimes we say that they do not measure us with the same yardstick as other clubs, I say that it is good that it is so, because we put ourselves in another dimension. There are times when we win a championship and after two months it is forgotten. We are ambitious and constant demand leads us to that. “We built the best stadium in South America and we have to go for more.”he claimed.

Micho’s contract with Millo is until December 2025date of the end of Brito’s term, who can opt for a second term as president.

“Demichelis is very talkative, expresses what he feels, he is demanding. I often congratulate him and he tells me things that need to be improved.. It is very much about the search for excellence, it is good that it is so. “We must try to play well and win, that is what our history marked.”added the leader.

“Martín’s changes were very good against Estudiantes. The team showed temperament and temperance“, he said on Fútbol910, on La Red.

“What we fans want most is the Libertadores. Beating Estudiantes is a shock of confidence.”

“River has had important years without winning the Libertadores. What we have to aim for is that, along the way we have to fight everything.”

“We told Conmebol that we want the final of the Libertadores. We are in conditions. In sports we work to be the ones who play in that grand final. In Conmebol they want to wait for progress in the tournament to define the stadium. But it is played in Buenos Aires”.

“We have a very balanced team, much younger than we have had at other times. We have to give those players time.”

“The final with Estudiantes has something similar to the Cup won against Boca in Mendoza, with Marcelo Gallardo. I think the moment had something similar. At that time the team generated doubts and it was a turning point. This match that we won yesterday is going to worth a lot to gain confidence”.

“I felt relief when Enzo Pérez left the field. When we had him we all wanted him on the inside and when you have him as a rival, those players are preferable to have on the outside. But you don’t have an opinion on the opponent’s approach. He was an excellent professional in River.”

“The players brought everything from within against Estudiantes, the team showed it.”

“River has a great squad. Young people who gain experience, with enormous potential. When the transfer market arrives we will see if there is any opportunity to incorporate a quality player to strengthen a position.”

“Yesterday I thanked Rodrigo Aliendro. The goal that was scored was a painting. He is an incredible being, he had many complicated issues, operations, things that complicated him, interruptions of a month, a month and a half. And he made a great effort to play for River. The career he had is very meritorious. “You should never give up,” he said about the scorer of the second goal against Estudiantes.

“The sale of Enzo Fernández was the largest operation in Argentine football when he moved from Benfica to Chelseto. She was the one who gave us the most money. She doubled the termination clause.”

“What’s happening is very nice. When we arrived with D’Onofrio we didn’t even have money to cut the grass in Ezeiza“.

“The final in Madrid is something that can hardly happen again.”

“When we won the final in Madrid, Marcelo brought us together and told us ‘now how do we continue’,” he said.

“We want to invest in structures to get more Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández.”

“I want to play the two pending finals with Boca to have two more titles. We have to find the moment. The only thing: we don’t want to play on a FIFA date because we have six or seven called up.”
