During the Brazilian Dominion tournament in the Copa Libertadores, Marcelo Gallardo's River Plate rose to the martyrs at the home of Atlético Mineiro, which gave me a lot of motivation in the last semi-final of the most important American club goal.

But it is clear that the Argentines did not want to simply have a dispute proposal for a final dispute before 2019, when Jorge Jesus' Flamengo lifted the title in the final suspiro of the dispute game in Lima.

The “Galo” had a Peso planet, under a military artillery command of Hulk, and the morale of Nubes was resolved in the Copa do Brasil final.

The card is provided for a player previously electrified and prepared to play at the MRV Arena in Belo Horizonte (9:30 p.m. local time, 00:30 GMT on Wednesday).

This means that he has traveled regularly to his river, especially in the local Campeonato, for eight years, once on the coast of Vélez Sarsfield, the “Muñeco” and the international Torneos that are now nearby.

In his first and successful spell with the Millonarios (2014-22), Gallardo captured seventh titles for Argentina, including the last two Libertadores (2015 and 2018), which he received from the Buenos Aires club.

In the Banquillo, the Red Cross Super team won against Talleres (globally 3-1) and eight times against Colo Colo (2-1) in the final of the Libertadores 2024.

The DT mission consists of the most powerful Argentine army and is made clear by the defining figures such as the Colombian Delanto Miguel Borja and the midfielder Ignacio Fernández.

Borja noted that the 1-1 win against Vélez the Fournes and “Nacho” reunited with the Afición Albinegra, who idolized across the plantation when reaching the first Mineiro league in the middle Siglo in 2021.

“River is in a situation where it does not burst into flames (…) more than ever, and we have the illusion that we can feel safe in these moments,” Gallardo said as he emerged with Vélez.

In Argentine printing, the “Muñeco” was apostolated by two delants (Borja and Facundo Colidio) to obtain a good Botín al Monumental after the series was defined the next day.

More than once the other Argentine: Gabriel Milito, commander of Atlético Mineiro, Libertadores fighter in 2013 since Ronaldinho Gaúcho's Batuta.

When his men were created, the injured Bernard and Matías Zaracho deployed the defender in his position alongside Guilherme Arana.

When the “Seleção” defender accompanied Paulinho in the midfield attack, “Galo” prevailed 1-1 against Vasco da Gama (3-2 worldwide) in the Copa do Brasil final.

For this competition, the Atacante Deyverson, the hero of the semi-final classification of the Libertadores, was inactivated when he left the two stands against Fluminense.

When the Milita decided to start the strife and Karism, Arana started the wagon by appointing him as Rubens' successor. On the contrary, Rubens and Arana were the first.

“We are very well equipped, but we have an opponent who also needs a lot of quality. We need to get going ideally within 180 minutes,” said DT.

The Vencedor de la llave was quoted with the Brazilian Botafogo or the Uruguayan Peñarol, who reached the semi-finals in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.

Other possible options:

Atlético Mineiro: Everson – Lyanco, Rodrigo Battaglia, Junior Alonso – Gustavo Scarpa, Otávio, Fausto Vera, Rubens (Deyverson) – Guilherme Arana, Paulinho – Hulk. DT: Gabriel Milito.

River Plate: Franco Armani – Fabricio Bustos, Germán Pezzella, Paulo Díaz, Marcos Acuña – Santiago Simón, Matías Kranevitter, Maximiliano Meza – Ignacio Fernández – Facundo Colidio, Miguel Borja. DT: Marcelo Gallardo.
