A strong meeting with Marcos Rojo and little importance: Pablo Solari played 45 ‘during the visit of River Plate to Boca Juniors at the Bombonera

Pablo Solari surprised in River Plate. Despite the muscular problems that the striker presented during the preparation for the Argentine Superclásico, El Pibe was present from the first minute of the visit of River Plate to Boca Juniors, in the Bombonera.

The trans-Andean, who left Colo Colo less than two months ago, has not recorded any major dangerous actions. He only played 45′, remaining at half-time in the Millionaire team locker room. However, while on the pitch, he drew attention to the strong crossover he had with a historic player who plays for Boca Juniors today.

With Marcos Rojo, defender of Boca Juniors, who played for Manchester United, the man trained in Talleres de Córdoba had a strong meeting which was reproduced by the official broadcast of the Superclásico. The striker did not back down from the historic Argentine, who for long minutes scolded himself face to face.

In sport, Solari’s contribution is far from decisive. Statistics site SofaScore reports that the striker touched the ball eight times, registering no shots on goal. Two of his six passes are correct (33%), he loses his three duels, makes five turnovers and registers two offsides.

On Friday, at a press conference, Marcelo Gallardo, the coach of River Plate, asked for calm for the striker’s gift. “As for Pablo, it seems to me that beyond his quick footballing response and his assimilation in terms of his arrival and how quickly he was able to start to take off, I was talking to him for the last few days trying to accompany him in this process,” said the strategist.

“He is still a young boy who has just arrived, who has been able to assimilate this change in the right direction, but without losing sight of the normal processes which are very changeable in what football is, and accompany it without lose its naturalness and joy with which it arrived, with this same form, “he closed.
