River will not send representatives to the conference with Boca

The Superclasico preview added a new source of tension after River's recent complaints about refereeing. In this context, the leadership of the “Millionaire” decided not to send representatives to the media meeting, in which players from both teams should participate

From Boca, there was an intention for Leandro Paredes to be present. In fact, coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena had also expressed his willingness to attend. However, River's confirmed absence rescinded the conference scheduled for Friday.

“The River Plate Athletic Club announced the decision not to participate in the usual #ConferenciaLPF before Boca - River, less than 24 hours before its development. In the absence of one of the leading teams in today's match, the decision was made to suspend the event,” the agency said

In addition, the entity expressed its dissatisfaction with the decision of the “Millionaire” and recalled the spirit with which these matches are organized prior to the most important Argentine football matches.

“The Professional Football League regrets River's attitude, which obviously does not adhere to the leitmotif of these conferences, which is “rivals, not enemies”, they added.
