Club Atlético River Plate faces its worst start to the season as fans demand Germán Pezzella's return
The team from Núñez has lost all three of its matches in the Liga Profesional Argentina, failing to score a goal, with a record of 0 points, 0W-0D-2L and a goal difference of -2. Amid this crisis, fans are calling for a second chance for the World Cup-winning defender, who is currently training at the Cantilo facility.
Who is the most voted player by the fans?
According to a Clarín poll with over 2,000 votes, Germán Pezzella leads with 42% of the votes, followed by Matías Galarza Fonda (13%) and Maximiliano Salas (12%). Pezzella, a product of the club's youth academy, is valued for his career and potential to regain his best form.
What do the other players on the list say?
Matías Galarza Fonda, 24, stood out with Paraguay in the World Cup and is now looking for a new club. Maximiliano Salas, purchased for $8 million, could go on loan to Independiente Rivadavia. Matías Viña and Giuliano Galoppo also received votes.
What does manager Chacho Coudet think?
The coach was clear: “I’ve already spoken about this and it’s something I don’t want to revisit. I’m not the one to decide.” However, fan pressure could change his mind, especially with River 6 points behind leaders Argentinos JRS in the title race.
