The virtual trainings were finished and the face-to-face ones began. After 150 days, the River team returned to work at the Ezeiza site, on a morning that was the busiest in recent times. Because upon returning to practice, it was added that not only Gonzalo Montiel tested positive for the coronavirus rapid test, but also an offer for Juan Fernando Quintero came from China.

After 8 o'clock, as the players from the first training round arrived at the Ezeiza site, they were being tested, as they were done on Friday at the Rossi clinic in San Isidro, when the only positive result was that of the goalkeeper. youth Ezequiel Centurion. But this time, in addition to the PCR tests, they also did the serological tests, that is, the rapid tests.

The space destined to do the tests was between the parking lot and the dining room wall, which remained closed. All in the open air. And the first strong news of the morning was that Montiel tested positive for the rapid test . He immediately left the property and went home, where he will remain isolated. The hypotheses for this result were three: that he had already had COVID-19 and that is why the serological antibodies appeared; that the test gave a false positive; or that it was infected between Friday and this Monday. The latter seems the most unlikely, since according to specialists, antibodies generally develop in the second week after infection.

A while after the positive for the right-back coronavirus was released, an offer for Juan Fernando Quintero came from China. Shenzen Kaisa, who has another Colombian on his team, forward Harold Preciado, was willing to take Juanfer and offered $ 10 million gross, of which River would have $ 7 million clean.

But the proposal was quickly scrapped. "For seven suits he does not go away," a leader assured Clarín . The Chinese, who are also preparing a millionaire contract to tempt Juanfer, will find out about River's refusal first thing in the morning in the East because of the time difference. Will they improve the offer? Meanwhile, the Colombian was not in training since until Thursday he must remain at home under strict quarantine after returning from his country.

As for the practice itself, Marcelo Gallardo had been the first to arrive at the venue, around 8. Then his assistants and the players arrived. The squad was divided into six groups, who practiced in three shifts (two groups each). Two of the seven fields of the property were used and "stations" were made: each player was in a cubicle on the field. With a water, a mat and a ball for each one during physical-technical exercises. The only one who trained differently was the youthful Benjamin Rolheiser, because he continues to recover from the torn cruciate ligaments in his left knee that he suffered in February. 

In the first shift, on court one were Franco Paredes, Elías López, Enzo Pérez and Cristian Ferreira. A central marker, a side marker, a central steering wheel and a hitch. On the second court, Lucas Martínez Quarta, Fabrizio Angileri, Leonardo Ponzio, Ignacio Fernández, Lucas Beltrán and Julián Álvarez. A central marker, a left back, a central midfielder, an offensive midfielder and two forwards.

In the second shift, it was time for the archers. On court 1 the two Franco, Armani and Petroli exercised and on court 2 Germán Lux and Enrique Bologna did.

On the third shift, Javier Pinola, Milton Casco, Santiago Sosa, Bruno Zuculini, Lucas Pratto and Federico Girotti trained on a field. A central marker, a left-back, two central and two front steering wheels. And on court 2, Augusto Aguirre, Paulo Díaz, Jorge Carrascal, Nicolás De La Cruz and Rafael Borré. Two defenders, two offensive midfielders and a forward.

Finally, there were 26 players who worked on the Ezeiza site. In addition to Montiel and Juanfer , Robert Rojas, who is under strict quarantine because he arrived from Paraguay nine days ago, and Matías Suárez, who is confined to his home in the private Cañuelas Golf Club de Córdoba neighborhood, could not train either. There, last week there was an outbreak of coronavirus and the Emergency Operations Center arranged a sanitary cordon in principle until this Tuesday, so the forward could only travel on Wednesday.

The groups of players were in charge of Matías Biscay, Hernán Buján, Pablo Dolce, Diego Gamalero, César Zinelli and Adrián Olivieri, the Reserve goalkeeper coach who replaces Tato Montes, who is in the risk group. The same as the alternate teacher Marcelo Tulvobitz and the props Raúl Pichi  Quiroga, Ariel Colo  Scarpelli and Manuel Tula. Three of them were replaced by their colleagues from the Reserve.

Gallardo was active. He walked around the property. He spun. I look. But he did not enter the fields or participate in training. He was an observer. He returned to his habitat.
