Overview
- D’Onofrio, in a La Página Millonaria interview published Wednesday, asked supporters to drop boos and insults and to use silence as a protest at the Monumental.
- He said the squad lacks strong voices on the field and contrasted today’s group with past leaders like Jonatan Maidana, Javier Pinola, Enzo Pérez, and Leonardo Ponzio.
- He voiced full confidence in coach Eduardo Coudet to turn results around and used a Teatro Colón metaphor to argue the team needs players who fit the stadium’s grandeur.
- He praised president Stefano Di Carlo’s management, citing the River ID membership system that expanded the base to about 350,000, yet said this phase now requires clearer presidential leadership.
- The intervention followed a 1-0 home loss to Atlético Tucumán that stoked fan anger, and he also criticized Martín Demichelis’s exit saga for hurting team spirit during the transition.
