River's victory over Boca in the Superclásico was an important relief after a difficult week, after the thrashing received by Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores. "We were coming from a very hard blow.
And what we didn't have to do was lose form, line, conduct," says coach Angel Labruna. "I'd rather make a mistake trying to go for the draw and the win than be wrong because I'm mean," adds Demichelis.
