Jorge Brito and Daniel Passarella

On Sunday River Plate will open the doors Monumental for more than 83,000 members and will thus become the largest stadium in South America. In addition, the club will take the opportunity to pay tribute to Franck Armanichampion with the Argentinian team Qatar World Cupand all those former players linked to the institution who lifted the trophy in 1978 and 1986. Among those who will be present will be no less than Daniel Alberto Passarella and the mystery of how it will be received by the partners grows minute by minute.

He Kaiser He is one of the idols of the institution due to his cycle as a footballer and then a manager, but his last stage as president was marked by relegation in 2011 and for this reason many fans (especially the younger) don’t have his best memories. . Considering this, Jorge Britocurrent team boss Núñez, spoke about what will happen on Sunday.

“Every time we’ve invited the champions, we’ve done it to everyone, for me It would have been easy to have a populist attitude and tell them now “I have decided to invite everyone except Passarella”. Sometimes what is correct is not politically correct. We decided to act as we should as leaders and it seemed to us that the right thing to do was to invite all the players from River who were world champions,” he said in dialogue with some media this Friday after a tour of the stadium works.

In this sense, he insisted: “Each of the partners has the right to take this as he sees fit, The only thing I ask of you is that your way of thinking does not end up overshadowing this beautiful act of having all the world champions of River on the same date”. And he remarked, “Let’s hope it’s a vacation.”

A few hours earlier, Passarella himself had spoken with TyC Sports and he acknowledged that there may be partners who do not receive him in the best way at the Monumental, where he will go with family and friends. In turn, he was very happy to be able to be part of this tribute in which former glories of the institution such as Be at Alonso there Ubaldo Fillol, both 1978 champions, among others. They will also say present Roberto Ayala there Pablo Aimarwho were part of Lionel’s coaching staff stairs.

“Everyone catches their own way, the only weight I have is that we went down with River, but this story is a long one. We get used to living with that and more. I’m still getting used to it but I know I wasn’t the culprit”, Passarella commented on his cycle as president of the Núñez club between 2009 and 2013.
