Marcelo Gallardo was satisfied with the game in which his team achieved a valuable advantage against Guarani in the Copa Libertadores. River Plate won two to zero with goals from Mercado and Mora (the latter a great goal), however, there is something that worries the coach.
It is about the foreign player spot that is still occupied by Teofilo Gutierrez and does not allow the use of another player. In this case, the Uruguayan Tabare Viudez, who cannot be used in the continental tournament until the transfer of the Colombian is resolved.
Gallardo indicated that it is a topic that generates anxiety and made an ironic reference to the Barranquillero, "I hope that this situation, which is a bit tangled, can be resolved this week, which does generate anxiety especially in a player who is here but cannot participate".
And he added, "we are doing everything we can to resolve it but we also need a little bit of the will from the person who left us," but well, possibly it will be resolved this week."
Teofilo did not join River Plate after the Copa America. His agent has said that the 'millionaire' team owes him money and that he wants to change teams. According to Diario Ole, he has already signed a contract with Sporting de Lisboa of Portugal.
