River Plate's manager Marcelo Gallardo has come under scrutiny as recent decisions, including tactical changes and player selections, have failed to yield the expected results. Following a potent 1-4 loss to Tigre at the Estadio Monumental, the pressure is mounting on Gallardo, who has made significant roster changes, including the controversial exclusion of veteran players.

Despite regaining the position of head coach and attempting to implement fresh strategies and line-ups, Gallardo's team struggles with consistency, often falling short in critical moments. Each time the squad appears to be regaining momentum after a series of good performances, they are met by unexpected defeats that create a cycle of disappointment and instability. The recent loss not only highlights the team's vulnerabilities but raises questions about Gallardo's approach and the overall direction of the club.

The implications of this situation are profound for River Plate, a club expecting high performance from its players and coaching staff. If Gallardo cannot find a way to turn the ship around, it may lead to heightened tensions within the squad and pressures from the management. Furthermore, the questioning of his tactical decisions, especially involving key players, could affect the team's morale as they strive to reclaim their dominance in Argentine football.
