BUENOS AIRES, Feb 23 (NA) -- The tension surrounding the world of River Plate has added a new chapter in recent hours, perfectly illustrating the difficult mental moment the squad is going through.
For River fans and their inner circle, this image did not go unnoticed. "Go on!", "Anticipate!".
While Marcelo Gallardo's continuity as coach is being decided, cameras captured a revealing moment during the loss to Vélez.
According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the fragment broadcast by ESPN exposed a desperate call from the coach to forward Facundo Colidio in the second half, when the Millionaires were already losing at the José Amalfitani stadium.
From Tactics to an Emotional Plea
Gallardo's intervention from the bench started as a traditional demand for play, but quickly turned into an appeal that strictly relied on the player's attitude and self-respect.
The initial order: True to his intense style, the coach began by marking movements: "Go Facu!"
The coach's raw honesty was interpreted as a precise reflection of the helplessness the technical staff feels in front of a team that seems unable to find mental answers and has already accumulated the sad record of 10 defeats in the last 15 matchdays.
