Gallardo's Battle Plan: River Plate's Last Stand Against Inter Milan

River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo faces a formidable challenge as he prepares his team for a critical Group E showdown against Inter Milan at the Club World Cup. Player suspensions have plagued River Plate, but Gallardo is resolute in his confidence to secure victory.

The stalemate against Monterrey at the Rose Bowl added further complications to River Plate's lineup, with Kevin Castano seeing red and Enzo Perez alongside Giuliano Galoppo collecting crucial yellow cards, ruling them out of Wednesday's encounter in Seattle.

Despite these hurdles, Gallardo remains optimistic, drawing strength from the competitive nature of recent matches. With both River Plate and Inter Milan sitting level in the standings, the stakes are high in this decisive clash.
