“The effort was worth it and we got an important point”

Took water out of the stones River at the height of Quito before Independiente del Valle. And it is that the 2850 meters played a bad pass in the first half of Núñez’s team, but there was another attitude in the complement. Interpreter changes were also productive. Made a good reading Marcelo Gallardoperhaps saving the error of the beginning: he put fresh leg; That is, he sent the players who arrived in Ecuador with less filming.

From 0-2 he went to 2-2 River and will now keep the first position of the group if it is imposed on the two games that remain at home. An equality, in addition, vital to face the final stretch of the preparation for the Superclassic Sunday. And something more positive for the coach: the alternates gave him answers because Manuel Lanzini, Ignacio Fernández and Giuliano Galoppo entered very well. Will any place be won to play against Boca?

“The changes were good. From there we had more control and determination. I had to manage the Castaño and Bustos, who had been somewhat broken and suffered the game. But the feeling of the end is good. The effort was worth it and we took an important point,” Gallardo said at a conference. And he added: “The first part cost us unthinkably. We couldn’t stand. We were wrong, we ran from behind. The two goals hit us strong. We had to have a clear reaction, with another impetus, and we had it.”

“Clearly the mood is worth. Now we are going to play a classic with a few days of rest and the final result tells us that the effort was not in vain. Our rival is waiting without playing,” added the DT. And he continued: “I want to be optimistic with the result. There are mistakes and we must correct them. The players know that they have to be in a better way. I will stay with that. According to what they show me they win minutes.

“We don’t look at that.” Franco Armani talked about the possible decline of Cavani for Sunday’s superclassic.

“There was a change in the second half and that is the way. We had more control, we did not err so many passes and we were aggressive when the opponent had it. The goal options we had took advantage of it. We took a nice game forward,” added Captain Franco Armani.

“The height was difficult, the game. We were not given in the first half and then we left differently and showed another face. Now we have to return, rest and think on Sunday, which we have to win,” Giuliano Galoppo closed, author of the first goal.
