Juan Fernando Quintero expressed deep concern and self-criticism after River Plate's loss to Argentinos Juniors, as the team struggles to recover from losing positions.
River Plate faced another disappointing defeat in the Torneo Apertura, losing 1-0 to Argentinos Juniors, which has raised serious concerns about the team's current form. Captain Juan Fernando Quintero took responsibility for the defeat and stated that the team is not performing at the expected level. Matías Biscay, who managed the team after Marcelo Gallardo’s expulsion, talked about tactical decisions but could not inspire a comeback in the game, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
The loss marks a further extension of River's troubling streak, as they have now gone 17 matches without being able to turn around games after conceding an early goal. This inability to recover points has intensified scrutiny on the coaching staff and the players’ mentality. The lack of effectiveness noted by Biscay signifies a troubling trend for a team that has historically been competitive, raising questions on their readiness for the ongoing league.
As the team prepares for upcoming matches, the pressure mounts on both the players and the coaching staff to rectify their form. With Gallardo's absence due to suspension and the team's recent performances, River Plate must regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks, or risk their standing in the championship and the morale of the squad.
