River presented this Wednesday a new starting shirt in tribute to the one used in the historic 1986, when the club won the local tournament, the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup, led by the Bambino Hëctor Veira and unforgettable great figures such as Beto Alonso, who participated in the presentation of the new model.
And to make the reminiscence complete, Beto Alonso and Enzo Francescoli They were dressed for the occasion and in a specially decorated environment, they posed to promote the new object of desire of the fans. They even recreated a photo from that time, the two of them dressed as soccer players at the time, at the Monumental.
The thing is that both Beto and Enzo were decisive in that River campaign. Alonso was the emblem and fulfilled his dream. He led the Olympic return in the Bombonera and months later he lifted the Libertadores and the Intercontinental.
What’s more: on December 14 in Tokyo, after beating Steaua Bucharest of Romania 1-0, with a goal from Antonio Alzamendi and an assist from him, the magical left-hander put an end to his career, after having won everything.
Meanwhile, Enzo only played the local tournamentin which he was key with his performances and his goals for River to win the competition five dates before the end. Later, he went to French football and did not play in the Libertadores or the Intercontinental.
In the backstage of the production for the new shirt, footballers from the current squad also participated.
