Coudet’s gesture with Demichelis after eliminating River
As soon as Sergio Rochet scored the goal that qualified Internacional de Porto Alegre to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores de América after the dramatic definition by penalties in which he eliminated River Plate and the more than 50,000 spectators were delirious in the Beira Rio accompanying the celebration of the players of the Brazilian team, Eduardo Coudet took his time to unleash his celebration and before he went to the visiting bench, where Martín Demichelis was.
El Chacho had a noble gesture with the River coach and consoled him in the midst of pain for having been left out of one of the great goals that lay ahead for the champion of the Professional League. The Inter coach hugged his colleague and stayed speaking in his ear for a few seconds. He then withdrew, but not before giving the battered coach a kiss on the cheek as a friendly sign.
It must be remembered that Chacho Coudet and Demichelis were teammates when they were footballers at River Plate and together they were champions in 2003. The 48-year-old Inter coach has a broader career than his colleague, who is giving his first steps in the DT career and you already have a title on your account.

At the end of the meeting, at the press conference, Demichelis made an analysis of what had happened and spoke of Coudet’s strategy, which ended up complicating the game in Porto Alegre and upsetting his plans. “Chacho did an analysis before the game and surely he would not have added another player in midfield. I am in a position to make decisions. With Pablo (Solari) we attacked more in depth, ”he said.
“Penalties are a hard blow because there was great enthusiasm and the team had been working very well these months. We have to be eliminated, which is unexpected, ”Micho acknowledged chewing anger.
Chacho Coudet, for his part, acknowledged: “We eliminated a rival rival who was a candidate for the title. They were playing very well, and they have great players. We are evolving, day by day we improve. We believe that we are better than in our first match. We knew that those who were going to start better physically and that influences a lot. I had to leave out a rival with whom I am related, me, Lucho (González), Gaby (Mercado), friendly people from the opposite side. You try to be respectful. We were confident that we will continue to improve.”
And he added: “The merit of this is all of the players. I will not get tired of highlighting it. We must highlight their performances. It was very difficult. We thank the crooked, never seen anything like today. We are working hard respecting the times of that change. We always go with time, we haven’t been here three weeks. We were playing a very difficult save. When the leadership went to look for me, I knew that this was going to happen, it makes me very happy ”.
