The gesture that Marcelo Gallardo had with the River fans
The Banda public is celebrating after a perfect week in which they qualified for the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, where they will face Atlético Mineiro with confirmed dates, and win in La Bombonera 1 to 0 against Boca. Not satisfied with that, the Millionaire team is celebrating River fan day on September 28 and a mobilization was carried out near the Monumental. Attendees had the reward of seeing one of the institution’s greatest idols face to face: Marcelo Gallardo.
The coach left his office and preparation for the game against Talleres on Sunday aside to approach the fans who were outside the stadium. The Doll approached the fence, at first surprised by the number of participants, and brought a smile from ear to ear to everyone present, with whom he shook hands and showed his thanks and gratitude.
The institution has celebrated fans’ day every September 28 since 2003, in honor of one of the most brilliant names in the club’s history: Ángel Labruna. Today is the birthday of the Millonario’s top scorer and he would be turning 105 years old.
River Plate celebrates fan day
For their part, from River’s official social networks they posted an exciting video in celebration of the anniversary. “We will always be there,” was the motto with which the institution advertised a compilation of images and clippings. There, under the hashtag #DíaDelHinchadeRiver accompanied by red and white hearts, Núñez’s painting showed the Banda public expressing their love with the colors of the club and the Más Monumental stadium in its maximum splendor.
Several glories of the entity echoed the celebration and left their message to the club. Cases such as Jorge Brito, president of the institution, Beto Alonso, another of the greatest references in its history, and other more recent ones such as Lucas Martínez Quarta and Chori Domínguez. At the same time, the vast majority of the players of the current Gallardo squad joined in on their social networks to support the fan, in which the case of Facundo Colidio stands out, who generated the celebration and enthusiasm of his fans who flock to his greatest rival due to the attacker’s former time in Boca.
Marcelo Gallardo surprised River fans.
Despite the celebrations and brightening the day of the River Plate fans, Marcelo Gallardo continues working on the final stretch of the season and the next challenges that lie ahead for his team. The Millionaire team must receive at the Monumental a Talleres de Córdoba starting Sunday at 6:15 p.m. El Muñeco surprised with the list of those called up and once again summoned Agustín Ruberto, one of the jewels of the club’s youth team who had been relegated in the last calls. At the same time, the name of Ramiro Funes Mori also appeared, who had also disappeared in the last matches. For his part, the only significant loss he has is that of Nicolás Fonseca, who received his fifth yellow card against Boca and will have to comply with a sanction date.
The task for the coach does not end there, since before the break for the FIFA date he will have to face the duel against Platense in Vicente López, on Sunday, October 6 at 7 p.m. Once the national team break has passed, River will enter the key part of the semester and will play the semifinal key of the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro.
