“There is a statistical fact that defies date to date”

River’s defeat 1-0 against Huracán at the Tomás A. Ducó had a deep impact on the Millonario fans, who had to endure the bitter pill of Friday night. And among them, one who ended up very upset by the team’s performance was the Minister of Economy, Luis Toto Caputo.

Around midnight, when the team’s first defeat Martin Demichelis in the League Cup had already been consummated, the minister couldn’t hold back the desire and decided to use his 4-0 in the friendly against Independiente Rivadavia.

The constant changes in the initial formation of the River coach have the fans concerned who reproach him for the lack of security and the doubts generated by the players not knowing if they have a guaranteed position or not. In the 12 rounds of the championship, Demichelis never repeated the eleven.

“There is a statistical fact that Demichelis challenges from date to date: There is no precedent for a coach who changes the team every game and does well. Not one. Not even Muñeco in his last year could beat this statistic. I hope he is the exception!”the minister wrote with a hint of irony.

Caputo’s tweet immediately went viral and had great support from River fans, both perplexed and angry after the defeat in Parque de los Patricios. However, The official decided to delete it from the networks hours later so as not to hurt the DT’s sensitivity.who had already had a hard confrontation with a journalist at the press conference regarding the same issue.

He “statistical data” to which Caputo refers is correct: in the 12 rounds of the League Cup Demichelis never repeated the team, except between Vélez and Deportivo Riestra, between dates 3 and 4. However, in the middle of those matches, Millonario played his match for the 32nd finals of the Argentine Cup, when he beat Excursionistas 3-0 and Demichelis used a different formation. So so far this semester the same eleven have never played in consecutive games.
