Jorge Brito supported Demichelis, spoke about the reinforcements and gave his opinion on the elections in Boca

The elimination in the League Cup with Rosario Central hit Núñez hard. Above all, to Martin Demichelis. The coach recognized that he was “hurt” after the fall in Córdoba, although he stressed that he had “forces” to continue and face what is coming.

And River’s leadership fully supports him. Micho. This is how he ratified it again Jorge Brito. “Their future is not under review, we are united planning for 2024. We have the best team in Argentine football and one of the best in South America. We are convinced of that and of fighting for Libertadores 2024,” said the club president in dialogue with TyC Sports.

And he argued: “Martín had a great first semester, we came out champions 10 points behind the second three dates before and it placed him in a place that was said ‘what a hit about Demichelis’. It has to do with the success of a country that discussed Messi three years ago. I don’t think he was even the best in the world six months ago nor that he is a coach that we can allow him to discuss so much about an elimination on penalties and being left out of the Cup.”

Then, looking ahead to what is coming, Brito said: “Martín was a bet just like Gallardo. I am convinced that he will start 2024 with more experience and knowledge of the squad. They have a great coaching staff and squad and we are united for what is to come. We had very nice things, winning the classics, a title and annual table is no less. “We lost key games that cost us dearly.”.

The president of River not only spoke about Demichelis. He was also consulted about other proper names, with situations to be resolved. Like for example, Enzo Pérez. “One cannot be moved by perceptions when faced with another’s decision. You have to leave them alone and let them decide. We also have what happened with Maidana and it happened to us with Pinola, Ponzio, Cavenaghi. They are River idols and we had to go through these situations. It is an important issue for a player to leave River or not, to retire or not… “We are going to give him the support to accompany him whatever decision he makes.”Brito assured.

And De La Cruz? “He is the best player in Argentine soccer and one of the best in South America, but we did not receive offers from Flamengo or anyone else. We are happy with him, he is happy here, but nothing lasts forever. When he decides to leave we will be grateful. He was there longer than another player would have been. I will be eternally grateful to him. He could have stayed free and he didn’t. I don’t forget those things. He has two years left on his contract, we enjoyed it very much and we will do everything possible for him to stay,” he commented.

Meanwhile, he asserted that Franco Armani He will continue to be the goalkeeper: “He is experiencing great news, he is a national team goalkeeper. His succession will one day happen, Franco knows it, but it is not something that we are experiencing urgently today, far from it”

Brito also assured that they will renew the contract Diablito Echeverri: “It will be resolved before the end of the year. This is what his representative said. Before the World Cup we did not want to hinder the trip. We are accompanying his growth and trusting that it will be resolved in the coming days.”.

In turn, he denied a possible return of Gonzalo Montiel, beyond the fact that he expressed that they would love for him to be in River and stressed that Augusto Batalla “is not on the radar”beyond the fact that the club owns the economic rights of the San Lorenzo goalkeeper.

On the other hand, the businessman referred to how the Monumental playing field looked after the recitals. “The images of the grass are typical when the machine is passed and the playing field is raised. When the tournament starts it will be very good. The field was not uneven, which is the most important thing and it is fine.”he reflected.

At the same time, he highlighted the importance of the shows for economic income. “Did you see when you go on a trip and the card arrives after 40 days and you suffer? One of the pillars of the work was the theme of recitals and it was done in the best way. Next year will be particular and there will probably be much less . We did 25 in the last two years and they were fundamental for the works“he highlighted.

And in reference to the stadium and the possibility of it hosting the definition of the maximum continental tournament in 2024, he stated: “I would love for the Libertadores final to be at the Monumental”.

River’s boss also left his impression about the tournament format in Argentine soccer and noted in this regard: “I don’t like the organization of tournaments in Argentine football. People don’t understand it, we have to explain it to them several times and abroad I don’t even mention it. We have to have a 20-team format but it is a losing battle in AFA “When we proposed something similar in the Super League, it was broken and it went back to more clubs. Most of the clubs believe that they can be relegated and do not vote to go down to 20 teams.”.

Finally, Brito made a comment regarding Boca’s situation, of which he stated: “When you talk about football, you want Boca to lose everything it plays, but institutionally I am not happy that an election in Boca is postponed and that justice intervenes. These things stain football and I celebrate that the elections are held, whoever wins. “That there is intervention of justice in the clubs does not make me happy at all.”
