Óscar Ruggeri slams River players: "They threw Gallardo under the bus" | OneFootball

As River prepares for Marcelo Gallardo's farewell against Banfield at El Monumental, Óscar Ruggeri criticized the Millonario squad and pointed out that, after the departure of the "Muñeco" and the ovation he will receive from the fans, the atmosphere in the stadium will heat up and the players will be exposed to criticism: "The bombs are coming for the players, they took Gallardo down and the people won't forgive that."

The poor streak of results from the Nuñez team led to Gallardo's resignation, which he announced with a video from River Camp where he appeared visibly moved. "Only words of gratitude, mainly to this enormous club, to its people, for their unconditional love throughout all these years, even in the most delicate moments like this one, where clearly things did not go as we had projected," he declared in the post uploaded to the club's official networks.

The world champion assured that the players now have "a truck on their backs" and that "they won't be able to miss a pass," since, after the idol's departure, there are no more scapegoats to blame for the poor performance the team showed at the start of the current campaign and at the end of the previous one.

Additionally, Ruggeri commented on the possible arrival of Eduardo Coudet to the Banda's bench: "I like him, he's crazy, but he's a good kind of crazy, serious. He works well and is identified with River."

It is worth noting that Chacho already has a verbal agreement with the Millonario and only needs to resolve his departure from the Spanish Alavés for both parties to sign a contractual agreement.
