This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here.
The Millonario coach acknowledged that his players did not have a good performance in the 0-0 draw against Godoy Cruz on Matchday 5 of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF).
With the victory over Independiente at the Monumental, it seemed that River Plate had found its best football rhythm, but the team led by Marcelo Gallardo was not close to that version in Mendoza, where they drew 0-0 against Godoy Cruz in the fifth matchday of the Argentine First Division tournament.
Gallardo spoke to the media in the post-match press conference and sent a strong message to the squad for the poor performance.
"There are no excuses, what we did today was not good. We were very predictable, we didn't have ferocity, aggressiveness in the offensive zone, to finish off Godoy Cruz. What was seen is what was seen, you just have to take charge, because that's the only way", analyzed the 'Muñeco'.
"LA RESPONSABILIDAD ES DE UNO"Marcelo Gallardo habló en conferencia de prensa, luego del empate de River frente a Godoy Cruz, y fue autocritico del funcionamiento del equipo:"Estamos en deuda, lo sabemos y sabemos la exigencia que tenemos. Pero tenemos que seguir insistiendo.… pic.twitter.com/Lc6SkT4YR0

River Plate's coach acknowledged that he has to work more with his team: "I understand that we are at fault, we are in debt. We analyze and are aware of the demand we have. I analyze the match, I say what I see, the rest is for tomorrow at the training ground."
Additionally, Gallardo took the blame and kept the rest for the intimacy of the River Camp. "The responsibility is mine, the things we need to give more continuity to the game I communicate to the footballers, I'm not going to communicate them to you. It's my responsibility and that's it. Tomorrow I'll work with the team again", he remarked.
In the next matchday, River Plate will face Lanús on Sunday at 19:15 (Argentine time) at the Monumental Stadium.

Arsenal need goals and see Igor Paixão as an affordable alternative
Arsenal need goals and see Igor Paixão as an affordable alternative Arsenal have added Igor Paixão to their list of potential transfer targets for this summer, The Times reports. The Feyenoord winger is said to be an alternative to the 'expensive' Nico Williams and Leroy Sané. According to the English paper, Mikel Arteta has prioritised strengthening his attack after Arsenal were forced to settle for a third consecutive second-place finish in the Premier League. The team scored 69 goals, 22 fewer than the previous season. Advertisement Paixão joins Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers on the Gunners' wishlist. Rogers seems to have a slight advantage over Paixão. 'Arteta likes versatile players and prefers to sign players with Premier League experience. The 24-year-old Paixão would be a cheaper option than Rogers.' Paixão has been under contract with Feyenoord since the summer of 2022. In Rotterdam-Zuid, the Brazilian has made 129 appearances so far, in which he has scored 39 goals and provided 29 assists. With this, Paixão has caught the attention of clubs from Europe. Olympique Marseille are said to have offered around 20 million euros, although Feyenoord were quick to turn that down.

Man United wants striker Mbeumo as Amorim looks to add to Cunha transfer
Associated Press MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United has made a move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on the condition of confidentiality because United has not publicly declared its interest. The 20-time English league champion is planning to overhaul a team that has just come off its worst season in the Premier League era and missed out on qualification for any European competition. United coach Ruben Amorim has identified his forward line as an area in need of major improvement. A deal has already been agreed for Brazil forward Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo would add further strength to an attack that had the fifth worst scoring record in the Premier League. English media said a bid of 55 million pounds ($74.8 million) was made for Mbeumo. The 25-year-old Cameroon international had 20 goals last season. By comparison, United strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee scored just 18 between them in all competitions. Amorim is trying to turn United's fortunes around after 12 years without winning the league. He has made a fast start to his rebuilding plans, with a deal for Cunha and a move for Mbeumo within weeks of the season ending. He has previously described his team as perhaps the worst in United's history and last month he apologized to fans for a 'disastrous' season. United ended the campaign in 15th — its lowest finish in the modern era and just three places above the relegation zone. United also set unwanted club records for the most losses in a Premier League season and the lowest points total. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

Sports Seriously The FIFA Club World Cup will kick off nearly 400 hours of soccer programming from Spanish language broadcaster TelelvisaUnivision this summer. The network is calling it "verano futbolero' – summer of football – and will air four major international tournaments on TV and live stream. Univision will produce and package all 63 Club World Cup matches available to live stream for free in English on DAZN, TelevisaUnivision president of global sports Olek Loewenstein told USA TODAY Sports. Univision, UniMás and TUDN will also broadcast 18 Club World Cup matches in Spanish, including the June 14 opener featuring Lionel Messi and the July 13 final. TNT will broadcast matches on TV in English. The Concacaf Gold Cup held June 15-July 7 will be available on Univision, UniMás, TUDN and ViX. The entire UEFA Women's Euro (July 2-27) and CONMEBOL Women's Copa America (July 12-August 2) will be available to stream on ViX with select games broadcasting on TUDN. The company will also broadcast this summer's Leagues Cup tournament, which pits clubs from Major League Soccer and LIGA MX in Mexico against each other from July 30-August 31. "When it comes to just pure hours of soccer programming this summer, we really are kind of at the forefront of making sure that the game – the beautiful game – is being consumed here in the United States,' Loewenstein said. The Club World Cup features 32 of the best soccer teams in the world, vying for their share of a $1 billion prize pool later this month. The reigning Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain and runner-up Inter Milan are in the field.

'But I'm also excited to see matchups that we always say we would want to see, and this is the first time you're actually going to get those, right? Everybody talks a big game on the league side of how big your team is and, 'If I played you in this game, I would be better.' And I think this is going to be a time where we're going to be able to see, comparatively, the power of the different big leagues in the world.' Messi and Inter Miami face Egyptian side Al Ahly at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium in the Club World Cup opener. The Club World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Club World Cup matches will also be played in Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington D.C. this summer.
