Demichelis confirmed the starting eleven for the final against Rosario Central with several surprises among the names.
Martín Demichelis surprised everyone with the eleven chosen to face Rosario Central in the Trofeo de Campeones final. After a week in which there was much speculation about Rondón’s possible exit and Borja’s starting position, the coach decided that neither will play from the beginning.
Facundo Colidio will be the focal point alongside the entry of Pablo Solari. And the biggest surprise is not that, but the starting position for the first time since entering the first team of Claudio Echeverri. Yes, in a game that could mean a title, El Diablito will be a starter.

The team chosen by Demichelis, with several surprises and strong names: Franco Armani; Sebastián Boselli, Paulo Díaz, Ramiro Funes Mori, Enzo Díaz; Nicolás De La Cruz, Enzo Pérez; Pablo Solari, Claudio Echeverri, Esequiel Barco; Facundo Colidio.
Demichelis confirms the bomb of Echeverri as a starter
After five games played at River, in which he accumulated just over 120 minutes, Claudio «El Diablito» Echeverri will start for the first time since his debut at the club. The responsibility comes to him at 17 years old and after a great performance in the U-17 World Cup where with the Argentine National Team he scored five goals, including three against Brazil and a very nice free-kick goal against Japan.
