On Sunday River Plate will open the doors Monumental for more than 83 thousand members and will thus become the largest stadium in South America. In addition, the club will take the opportunity to pay tribute to Frank Armanichampion with the Argentine team of the Qatar World Cupand all those former players related to the institution who have lifted the trophy in 1978 and 1986. Among those who will say present will be no less than Daniel Alberto Passarella and the mystery of how it will be received by partners grows by the minute.
Daniel Passarella accepted River Plate’s invitation and will be at the tribute to the world champions at the Monumental
The former captain and coach of the Millionaires will return to the stadium after his time as club president
He Kaiser He is one of the institution’s idols due to his cycle as a footballer and later as a coach, but his last step as president was marked by relegation in 2011 and for this reason many fans (especially the younger ones) do not have his best memories. Given this, Jorge Britothe current boss of the Núñez team, referred to what will happen on Sunday.
“Whenever we have invited the champions we have done it to everyone, for me It would have been easy to have a populist attitude and tell them now ‘I have decided to invite everyone except Passarella’. Sometimes what is correct is not politically correct. We decided to act in the way we should as leaders and it seemed to us that the right thing to do was to invite all the River players who were world champions,” he said in dialogue with some media this Friday after a tour of the stadium works.
Daniel Passarella broke the silence and confirmed that he will go to the Monumental: “I was not to blame for River Plate’s relegation”
The man who knew how to be an idol as a footballer and coach, had a step as president that marked the institution for relegation to the second division
In this sense, he insisted: “Each of the partners has the right to take this as they see fit, The only thing I ask of you is that the way you think does not end up overshadowing this beautiful act that is having all the world champions of River on the same date”. And he remarked: “Let’s hope it’s a holiday.”
Hours before, Passarella himself spoke with TyC Sports and he recognized that there may be partners who do not receive him in the best way at the Monumental, where he will go with family and friends. In turn, he was very happy to be part of this tribute in which there will be former glories of the institution such as Beto Alonso y Ubaldo Fillol, both 1978 champions, among others. They will also say present Roberto Ayala y Pablo Aimarwho were part of Lionel’s coaching staff staircases.
River Plate presented its four reinforcements: the sentence on Zuculini and why Rondón arrived
Jorge Brito ruled out the search for a replacement for the midfielder, who suffered a severe injury on Tuesday. They bet on the speedy recovery of Matías Kranevitter
“Each one grabs his way, the only weight I have is that we went downhill with River, but that story is long. It’s getting used to living with that on top. I’m still getting used to it but I know that I was not the culprit”, commented Passarella in relation to his cycle as president of the Núñez club between 2009 and 2013.
