Martín Demichelis arrived at the press conference at the Kempes with a very serious face after River’s loss to Boca 3-2 in the superclásico and which left him out of the fight for the title in the Professional League Cup. He answered all the questions, but the answers were brief.
“The matches, especially the superclassics, especially in this country, are experienced with many emotions, and they found their goal (from 1-1) at 46 minutes of the first half. And in the second, when we had the chance to take the lead again, they didn’t give us the goal and they came out better again, stronger,” explained coach Millonario.
“It was difficult for us to get settled on the field, we just made the changes but they scored the second goal. We had rebellion going forward but it was not enough for us. Furthermore, the second half was very short, there was no more than two or three minutes of fluidity and that hurt us,” Demichelis continued.

Super classic. Why River lost: the reasons for the loss against Boca in Córdoba and the elimination in the League Cup
The River coach from Cordoba insisted on the 1-1 score by Boca just as the initial stage was closing. “That tie was important. We had a good first half, the rival did not gravitate. When you go to the locker room after a good first half, I was worried about the guys not falling emotionally. On top of that, they didn’t validate our goal in the second (half),” he indicated.
-Do you think Colidio scored a goal?
-I don’t know if he entered, nor did I see the play.
Finally, Demichelis responded about the attackers he put on the field against Boca, Colidio and Borja: “Our system works better with two forwards, among the five we have on the squad, Borja is our scorer and Facu had just scored three goals.” .
