River Plate
, directed by
Martín Demichelis
, closes its tour to the United States tonight when it faces
Vasco da Gama
from Brazil, after the triumphs against Monterrey from Mexico and Millonarios from Colombia, in preparation for the premiere by the
Professional League of Soccer
.
The game is played at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando, starting at 9:30 p.m., Argentine time, and is televised by Star+.
The preparation of the Núñez club, judging by Demichelis, is "very good" so far, facing the debut for the local tournament against Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, as a visitor, on January 28.
Demichelis's River achieved the first victories of the year with two different formations to analyze alternatives.
The former defender of River and Bayern Munich in Germany is trying in this period for the team to understand and execute his game idea.
According to what has been observed on US soil and to the different declarations of their leaders, the plan is working.
The Brazilian team has among its ranks the Argentine Luca Orellano, former Vélez, who has a chance to start.
Vasco's year began with the Rio de Janeiro championship (January 14), in a goalless draw against Madureira, but with an alternative formation.
