Demichelis spoke about his continuity at River: “The day I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to be the first one to raise my hand”

River took a victory from their visit to Libertad of Paraguay, whom they beat 2-1 with goals from Pablo Solari and Franco Mastantuono, which allowed them to affirm themselves at the top of Group H of the Copa Libertadores, with an ideal score. After the match, Martín Demichelis analyzed the team’s performance and referred to its continuity, due to the versions that emerged after the elimination of the Copa de la Liga Profesional at the hands of Boca. We were erratic when it came to defining, I think we shouldn’t have suffered what we suffered in the second, we won again on the international level on the road, which also surely makes us grow for everything to come,” he said in a press conference about the match. Then, when asked about the possibility of leaving the club in December, whatever happens in the continental tournament, the millionaire coach assured: “You are taking me far away from the maelstrom of the day-to-day at River. I am eternally grateful to the institution and to this group of leaders, when the normal thing in Argentine football is for coaches to do one more year and one, I was automatically offered three and I am immensely happy despite the circumstances that one has to go through like what happened the other day that was an adversity and that obviously is a blow within the institution. Contracts are there to be fulfilled, Argentina is not easy when it comes to everything that is said for better and for worse. God will say, I’m totally ready to give my best, the day I can’t take it anymore I’m going to be the first one to raise my hand.” I’m whole, because I see that the boys give their all, despite the blow the other day today they came out and played a great first half. When I notice that the situation is not up to date, I will raise my hand. I’m not bound by contracts but I’m always going to want to because I love this institution, I defended it as a player and I defend it inside and outside as a coach. I want the fans to stay calm because whenever I’m there I’m going to be at one hundred percent. I have a lot of desire, a lot of strength and a lot of support from the boys, whom I thank for having shown that they are on their feet despite the shock,” said Demichelis, who also thanked the fans for their support.
