River Plate Statements

Marcelo Gallardo spoke prior to this match: "We played against a very good rival and we have to highlight that. We opened the scoring at the end of the first half and that gave us peace of mind. We were very direct and precise when attacking and the goals came, although there were also chances to score before. There were four, but they could have been more".

Regarding the Libertadores, he mentioned: "So far it has been a fairly even Cup. Qualifying one date earlier is not easy".

"The rivals make you see when they talk about you, when they prepare the matches and when they go out to play. That is a merit earned by so many merits we made throughout this cycle."

"The market is very difficult for Argentine soccer and also for players of great hierarchy who want to come to Argentine soccer. It is not easy. We have to be consistent and calm, but we will make the effort to see what the options are. The team is well formed and we are not going to do anything crazy".

"We have to be balanced and we start playing the round of 16 quickly. No player will want to leave before that stage. We have always had a cordial and direct dialogue with the players. We will try to continue in the same way and hope not to have to suffer a lot when the market opens".
