The former striker also questioned the club's transfer policies and the cost that this anxiety to win generates in planning: "The number of players River has bought, some at very inflated prices and overvalued... this is about the desperation to win. The team that sells knows River is coming with the need to get a player and this happens to Liverpool or Manchester City."
Finally, Latorre warned that the coach could be losing the hallmark that distinguished him in his most successful years: "Gallardo is entering that very dangerous path of wanting to change and that leads to moving away from the identity. The player begins to weaken when he feels the coach uses him as an instrument of that urgency. If you know that after ten minutes you could be replaced or that in the next match you will not play, you lose confidence and freedom to play."
