The relationship between Boca Juniors Y River Plate 1 on 1 in the Candy box left different feelings for the two teams, and the one who spoke after the game and left his own analysis was River’s coach, Marcelo Gallardo.
For The Doll, the game had “little clarity”. In addition, he was referring to what was most appropriate for Boca to be the lack of it Edwin Cardona, who he thought about it among the headlines and was also upset by Casco’s expulsion.

First, Gallardo made a full analysis of what equality was left for him in the Superclásico.
There, he referred to Cardona’s absence from the Xeneize: “For the first half hour we intended to dominate the field, I think Cardona’s presence would have been better for the party, then we would have measured our strength in a different way. That allowed them to put in one more center-back and be more comfortable with the defense, we found no maneuvering options, ”the Millionaire’s DT began.
In his statement to the media, Gallardo also clarified: “I didn’t think about the game without Cardona, I never thought about the game with a five line where Boca gave us the ball,” he said.
I didn’t think they would line up for five, ” admitted Gallardo, noting that he envisioned another attacker in place of the injured Cardona.
Then he continued, “They waited for the moment to score, which happened in a decrease in our tension. From there they felt comfortable in the game ”.
In his view of the tie, he also added: “With spaces they make a dangerous team, he showed that in the second half when we had to look for the game with more determination; They had two clear situations, but they didn’t repent, we played a draw later, we had the opportunity to have another husband. There we went on to run the game, then Casco was linked to the red and neither team knew what to do to win it, ”said Gallardo.

River’s technical director also spoke about what River couldn’t do because of the way his rival had lined up on the field, referencing Cardona’s absence again:
“I am not satisfied with not losing, today we did not do more to win it, we should have done a little more, but the rival is also playing: he suggested a line of five, he gave us the ball with a clear message. it was up to us that we have the ball to see if we could get in and that they would use the space in the meantime. That was Boca’s intention for the first half hour. After the goal and with more space, Boca is a team in danger for you. That’s what was best for Boca in Cardona’s absence, “he noted.
