River Plate – the shape of the team and its analysis: not everything works out, but the club is good in the Copa
“The Millionaires”, being under the leadership of debutant coach Demichelis, won the previous Primera. This time, there have already been several painful failures: they lost in the quarter-finals to Boca Juniors in the Diego Maradona Trophy and were eliminated on penalties by Temperley in the cup tournament. Speaking about the international arena, everything is OK there. The representative of Argentina won 4 times and lost a 2-goal advantage in the away battle against Nacional. That draw could come back to haunt the club now: if it loses, it could lose 1st place.
Deportivo Tachira – the shape of the team and its analysis: everything is a complete failure
“El carrusel aurinegro”, the champion of Venezuela of the previous cycle, did not even make it to the play-offs in the new season, finishing outside the top 8. Speaking about the Copa Libertadores, all the achievements in 5 matches come down to a home draw in the struggle with Libertad. Theoretically, it is still possible to catch up with the Paraguayans, but in fact, the club needs to take 3 points in Buenos Aires and also improve the goal difference for this – it seems to be a miracle.
