Torneo de Verano en Mar de Plata 2008

[El Mandrake]

3-2-3-1 formation for that game versus indepe. first it looked good for us then the rojo started to develop an attack. If cholo chooses this as his formation there is not alot room for all the other forwards we have. Well I guess everything is still only on paper for now.

[El Mandrake]

i meant 3-3-3-1....

As FOX Sports was a joke but specially on River's formation at first it was like out soon Real Madrid was going to need help on how to defeat River's attack, then near ending they talked about it like the whole idea was useless because they didn't have the proper players. What a joke, not even in summer they can be serious.

Wasn't it 4-2-3-1 by the way?

EDIT: 3-1-3-1 i was missing 2 players.:eek:

Looked to me like it was a 4231 most of the time. Villagra had some freedom to come forward (and fall down). But Abelairas and Domingo kind of played as a double five with Domingo kind of in the hole most of the time trying to choke the Independiente passing lanes. I think that it is a promising lineup especially if you get some of the regular starters in there.

Por otra fecha del Pentagonal de verano, River Plate buscará su primera victoria ante Racing Club, que viene de derrotar a San Lorenzo. Diego Simeone, DT del Millonario, pondrá de titular a Radamel Falcao. En tanto que Micó no hará muchas modificaciones con respecto al encuentro anterior.

So el burrito has said there was a creepy atmosphere at last years summer tournament. Did they win that last year? Well lets see if these happy vibes produce a sopa libertatores title.

[crzdcolombian]

during the boca game fox sports said

Ruben to villareal and Falcao to Coruna !!!

HOW DID RUBEN GET A BETTER TEAM !!! if its true it is frustrating why send falcao to such a crap team and thought that Simeone liked falcao :(

[megamac20817]

There's been nothing about that in Ole. Ruben was the one linked to Deportivo, and Falcao has been linked to Aston Villa in England.

[vipnerd]

Yooo, Colombian ... pay atention and don't panic. Only one of the 2 would be sold, and it seems it will be Ruben to Villarreal.


As to the quality of the clubs, well ... it all depends how much you pay for the player and if you plan to getting him to be a sub or a first tema member. Ruben will probably be a sub at Villa, whule Falcao would be a definite starter at Depor. :rolleyes:

Ortega dijo que River tenía que pasarle por arriba a Boca y Martín Palermo le contestó para ponerle pimienta al clásico: "Que tire caños, a ver si se anima. Ojalá yo pueda responder con goles, queremos el triunfo para la gente", declaró.

Actually I heard that Falcao has a pretty good chance of going to a German club. I saw that rumor of 7 million dollars offered by Villarreal for Ruben but that would still surprise me if it went through. Did no one in Europe see Falcao go crazy versus Botafogo?

[crzdcolombian]

Dep Coruna offered 12 million (http://www.26noticias.com.ar/falcao-no-se-va-river-rechazo-millonaria-oferta-58708.html) and River said no... they want him and wont let him go

as a River fan happy that he is staying hopefully we can win something.... as a Colombia extremly happy he isnt beign sent to a shit team

so glad Ruben is gone :) ... cant believe they were dumb enough to pay that much for him

I guess it's time to surprise you: Un Soldado Menos (http://www.ole.clarin.com/notas/2008/01/23/um/01591798.html).

Wow. Well, Pellegrini usually knows what he's doing... Maybe he's earned a fair amount of benefit of doubt.

Estimados,

Admito que es primera vez en que estoy comentando aqui en este foro, agradezco estar entre otros apasionados para este equipo (I think I'm the only Riverplate fan--that I know of--in Philly)

A few questions (and forgive me for my ignorance):
(1) Radamel Falcao--se va o se queda? (parece que se vaya)
(2) Que sabemos sobre de ese pibe Archubi, se que esta "on-loan", pero que creen Uds. la probabilidad que los Millos lo retenga despues de seis meses?
(3) Simeone--se ve prometedor como DT, pero sea demasiado temprano para concluir como esta manejando este equipo?
(4) Y por que en el primer partido de este Torneo con Independiente, porque hubo puros pibes nuevos jugando?
Me doy cuenta que varios como Belluschi ya se fueron, asi que no estan jugando ya.

Sorry for the questions guys, I don't check the boards every day, perhaps this has been answered in previous posts. Disculpame por poner estas dudas en este Thread.

Che Locoxriver, leo a tu blog con mucha frecuencia, agradezco muchisimo la gran cantidad de tiempo que vos invertis en ese blog. Keep up the good work.

De antemano mil gracias y vamos River.

[El Mandrake]

You know there is a paternity issue here: bosta is our bastard son from that gross bolivian hooker. They haven't beat us in years. I think we got a nice round chance to house them....they appear to be struggling with the new coach...thats wonderful news

Bienvenido a los foros de River en BigSoccer. Ultimamente no hay mucha actividad aca, asi que es bueno ver que hay nuevos miembros que puedan contribuir en futuras conversaciones.

A few questions (and forgive me for my ignorance):

(1) Radamel Falcao--se va o se queda? (parece que se vaya)

Por ahora se queda. River acaba de rechazar una oferta de $12,460,000 dolares por el (de parte del Deportivo La Coruna), asi que todo parece indicar que se quedara por lo menos seis meses mas. Encima como recien se fue Ruben, dudo que lo vendan al colombiano tambien. Pero habra que ver: el Aston Villa de Inglaterra sigue interesado en comprarlo al Tigre.

(2) Que sabemos sobre de ese pibe Archubi, se que esta "on-loan", pero que creen Uds. la probabilidad que los Millos lo retenga despues de seis meses?

Todo depende de lo que demuestra en estos proximos seis meses. Por ahora parece un jugador importante para el Cholo. Si es que llega a cumplir sus expectativas, seguramente se quedara. Si no, vuelve a Europa.

(3) Simeone--se ve prometedor como DT, pero sea demasiado temprano para concluir como esta manejando este equipo?

Es un gran tecnico: quedo demostrado cuando dirigio a Estudiantes. Como le ira en River? Only time will tell.


(4) Y por que en el primer partido de este Torneo con Independiente, porque hubo puros pibes nuevos jugando?
Me doy cuenta que varios como Belluschi ya se fueron, asi que no estan jugando ya.

Por lo general, River casi siempre uso mayoria de suplentes y juveniles en estos torneos. La idea es descubrir futuros talentos y darle oportunidades a los de la reserva. Varias veces hay jugadores que no tenian un lugar en el primer equipos, la rompen, y terminan siendo titulares (Montenegro es un buen ejemplo de esto).

Sobre los que se fueron, los unicos que vendimos fueron Belluschi y Ruben, mientras que esta en riesgo la continiudad de Carrizo. Igual, tenemos la misma base del ultimo semestre (Tuzzio, Augusto Fernandez, Ortega, Falcao, etc.).

Che Locoxriver, leo a tu blog con mucha frecuencia, agradezco muchisimo la gran cantidad de tiempo que vos invertis en ese blog. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, thank you. Make sure to visit the blog and this site regularly from now on. :)
