After River Plate's victory against Argentinos, head coach Eduardo Coudet had a tense exchange with a journalist during the press conference. The journalist reproached Coudet for handling the defeats with 'certain lightness.'

Coudet did not hesitate to defend his stance and questioned the criticism, asking: 'Do you risk your job?' This response highlights his dissatisfaction with the opinions expressed by the media.

The victory for River, which marked Coudet's first win in the Clausura tournament, comes at a crucial time as the team is set to face an important match in the Copa Sudamericana against Independiente Santa Fe in Bogotá.

Coudet also faces the need to replace Gonzalo Montiel and is waiting to learn about the condition of players Marcos Acuña and Sebastián Driussi, which poses challenges for the upcoming match.
