Martín Demichelis: “We are going to work to recover that mystique of the last years of the true River”
After the victory at the Monumental, Demichelis explained: “The coaching staff, leaders and players work for this institution. So, the institution deserved, after having played the worst game since I was against Vélez, a show of character and a reaction,” he explained. And then he added: “I think we did it, I had no doubt that we were going to do it because the team trained in a phenomenal way these two weeks. We also played a great game in San Nicolás that helped us recover our feelings.”
In that sense, the River coach referred to the mystique of the Professional League champion team. “At times, I liked it a lot and we are going to continue working to recover that mystique of the last years of the real River. The mystique of the team that was champion months ago and that at times was very popular,” he concluded.
