After being eliminated in the Copa Libertadores, the Monumental whistled at several footballers and brought out a repertoire of very harsh songs that escalated as the minutes passed in the defeat against Riestra.

The war cry from the River stand at the Allianz Parque, as a claim after the elimination with Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores, was the prequel to what was experienced at the Monumental this afternoon against Deportivo Riestra.

As in Brazil, the fans expressed their discontent with the team's present in a vehement way with a repertoire of spicy songs that had not been heard in Núñez for a long time. There were whistles from the start and, as the minutes passed, the atmosphere became increasingly harsh.

A dense atmosphere was already anticipated at the River Plate stadium due to the forcefulness of the result against Verdao, which was the last straw in an irregular and indebted present considering the fortune spent in the transfer market since Marcelo Gallardo returned. And the discomfort was immediately confirmed when the stadium's voice announced the lineup and some footballers were disapproved.

Of the starters with Riestra, Kevin Castaño and Miguel Borja received the clearest whistles from River fans. Then, among the substitutes, Sebastián Boselli and Matías Galarza also received their share, of the most recent additions to the Millonario. That was just the beginning of a very angry afternoon-night.

A few minutes later, already with the team inside the field and ready to start the match with the Malevo, from the different sectors of the Monumental a spicy song aimed at the players was sung again - almost in unison. Gallardo, as always, was applauded in that harsh context.

"Let's see if we understand each other, the players and the fans: you kill yourselves on the field, because here in the stands we are going to cheer you on. Put more effort, put more heart, like we do in the stands. We give everything just to see this shirt, put more effort, put more heart, because this is River and you have to be champions. Come on Millo, don't fail all your people," sang the Millonario fans, just like against Palmeiras.

And the truth is that the development of the match did not help to mend things, much less. Because Gallardo's team started down, managed to tie it and after Riestra regained the advantage with the 2-1, the Monumental spoke again: "Move, River, move..."

But it didn't end there, but the songbook reached its spiciest point after Nicolás Ramírez annulled Miguel Borja's equalizer for offside. What did the Monumental shout? A song that directly targets the main protagonists, without filter.

"Listen to the players, put more effort if you want to be champions. Sweat the shirt, carry it in your heart, like this fan base that wants to see you champion", was heard past the quarter hour of the second half. And in the end? With the defeat sealed, the curtain closed with whistles.
