Claudio Echeverri started for the first time in River Plate this Friday in the final of the Champions Trophy against Rosario Central and in a handful of minutes he left a waste of individual actions that justified his entry into Martín Demichelis’ team from the start. Although his outstanding debut from the beginning was overshadowed at a certain point by the phrase he uttered after winning the title: “I’m not going to renew, but I’m going to stay at the club for a year or six months.”
In just 3 minutes, the forward of the Argentine Under 17 team already made Canalla tremble because he captured a volley in the area after a cross from Enzo Díaz that went just outside the near post. With full confidence after that appearance, El Diablito joined forces with Nicolás De la Cruz in the middle, but also surprised from the ends, like when he overflowed from the right and launched the center behind that goalkeeper Fatura Broun sent to the corner .
The other clear action of his authorship came around 19 minutes, when he asked the Uruguayan for the ball and from long distance he tried with a very powerful corner shot that forced the Rosario Central goalkeeper to show off to defuse the danger.
Before, Echeverri had already assisted Facundo Colidio in the area, but the forward missed his shot, and had also earned a foul after dribbling past Ignacio Malcorra. From that free kick, De la Cruz hit the crossbar. Without a doubt, a headline debut above expectations.
In the complement, the boy from River Plate retired by decision of Demichelis so that Ignacio Fernández entered, to complete a more than positive performance. El Diablito, who was a figure for Argentina in the Under 17 World Cup, was chosen to join the attack front against Canalla. Previously, he had gone to the substitute bench on 17 occasions and had taken the field on about 5 occasions.
Claudio Echeverri is the main jewel of River Plate’s lower divisions and the brilliant Under 17 World Cup he had with the Argentine national team put him definitively on the radar of the giants of European football. El Diablito dazzled everyone with his skill and goals, three of them in the victory against Brazil. That is why it is not surprising that Barcelona itself has set its eyes on him.
After the game, the youth spoke about his debut as a starter and also about the doubts that exist regarding his continuity in Núñez: “Happy for another trophy won. Very happy for the team and the work we did. Ownership is a prize, that’s what we work for all week. “Demichelis told me in training on Thursday that he was going to start because I had a great week.”
“It was a very trying year. Very nice on an individual level in the South American and the World Cup, but he was not satisfied because he really wanted to play here in River. He was very excited to play more minutes and unfortunately I couldn’t play. After the World Cup I came, he touched me and I think I did very well. Now I’m happy. Surely six more months or one more year, I think I will stay here in River and then my future will be seen. But six months or a year more I’ll stay,” the footballer who will turn 18 in the coming weeks and has a contract valid until December 2024, warned on TNT Sports.
In a note with ESPN he was forceful about his future without leaving any doubt: “My representative spoke with the president, many things were discussed that my representative did not answer the calls and was always in contact. I’m not going to renew, but I’m going to stay at the club for a year or six months. “I’m not going to renew, but I’m going to stay six months or a year at the club and then we’ll see what happens.”

Upon hearing these phrases from his young footballer, Martín Demichelis tried to clarify the Diablito’s concepts and lower the tension: “Claudio for the moment now has to enjoy the title. He is young and sometimes when they put the microphone on you after a game, after having played his first starting game, having won a title being in some way more of a protagonist, he has mixed feelings. There is time to continue talking to him, to accompany him. Claudio is a boy who has been in River since he was 8 years old. There is time now to go rest, shelter him well, advise him. I think that he should not be in a hurry to leave this institution, which is enormous, because one should not want to leave this institution. It is clear that everyone out there dreams of playing in Europe, but this institution is huge,” he said on ESPN.
