River came to Lanús to face a rival who had just won the two games he played in the tournament, scoring four goals in each of them.
And the performance of Marcelo Gallardo's team was overwhelming.
He hit at the right time and minimized any possible reaction from Luis Zubeldia's team, who ended up recognizing the hierarchy of his rival.
After the 3-0 in La Fortaleza, which accommodates him in the Professional League position table one point behind San Lorenzo and Independiente, the leaders, Gallardo spoke at a press conference.
Happy for the performance of his team, the Doll gave more value to River's performance, highlighting the virtues of Lanús.
He expressed some concern about the string of games and stopped at the physical discomfort that Matías Suárez presented, which caused him to leave the field.
"We have just played four games, we are more solid. This run of three games in a week was very good for us. We are loosening up more and more. Today the goal positioned us differently, we strengthened ourselves. And against a great rival I feel that it we resolved quite well, "Gallardo began by saying.
However, true to his style, he chose moderation over triumphalism: "We have to be calm because this is just starting. It is a very demanding semester,
we will try to do it with good performances
. We will try to continue to find that idea that we are trying to proclaim. But we know that it is becoming more and more difficult to hold a level. The players are more and more confident and that gives us reason to continue believing. "
Regarding the series of matches, the coach said: "The players are feeling the effort. Today it happened to us with Matías Suárez, who came out with an annoyance.
We will see what the seriousness is, hopefully not too much.
In this series we are going to have to to dose the efforts. For this we are going to see how they (the footballers) are responding and we will decide who can repeat the effort or take shelter. That tells us every day. "
The Doll dedicated a cataract of praise to Bruno Zuculini, figure in the win against Lanús.
"Bruno is giving him not only balance but also clarity, and that is the product of his personal growth. It makes me very happy because here we value him a lot, he is a very positive and very professional boy. He goes out of his way for his teammates. It makes me very happy this present ", celebrated the DT.
"WHAT ABOUT ZUCULINI MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. HE IS A GUY WHO GOES OUT FOR HIS COMPANIONS" declared Gallardo at a press conference.

After clarifying that he had not yet confirmed the date for the Superclásico for the Argentine Cup (it would be played on Wednesday, August 4), Gallardo ended his contact with the press making a balance when this week completed seven years of his first game as coach of the team millionaire.
"What I enjoy the most is day-to-day, feeling fully to develop the task that I am so passionate about. The years and this journey that we have had for seven years now make one feel more and more mature and understand the rules of the game, beyond the profession. And in that sense I enjoy more than I did at the beginning. The level of demand remains the same. The challenges, too.
We will try to do it with that passion until the last day
", closed the Doll.
