“On every birthday we ask for our wishes. What no one tells you is that they don’t arrive alone. We have to go out and get them. As did that group of workers, who together, on a day like today, came together behind a desire: to form a club. And they formed the biggest club of all,” Gallardo introduces.” That desire inspired others to be better by becoming a real machine. They never stopped until they got it. When desire is made to wait for a long time after never lowering arms, conquest becomes legend There are desires of a thousand colors, feats and epics that we seek to repeat in memory. Of princes and heroes and of boys who become giants,” Gallardo said, after recalling a nice part of the story, a part was devoted to relegation to the First National B, but with an encouraging message: “But there are also moments we never want, moments of getting into the mud to get stronger. Stronger than ever,” the Doll says as they leave behind the images of the descent and all the achievements achieved by River in recent years are happening one by one. Then with the background image of Gonzalo Martínez’s epic goal and the achievement of the Copa Libertadores after beating Boca in Madrid, Gallardo commented: “And even if they say that if you count it out loud they do not meet, some wishes must be shouted because when Crephesus you will achieve what you had not even been encouraged to dream”. Finally, the coach himself gave his greeting in the video: “Happy 119 years to my dear River Plate. Thank you (putting your hand on your heart).”
