Ponzio spoke about his future at River after the 3-0 win over Belgrano

After the 3-0 win over Belgrano, the focus at River was not limited to the footballing performance. Ponzio addressed the rumors about his continuity and tried to play down any speculation with a clear message about his ties to the club.

A direct message about his future

At the press conference after the win, the Millonario coach was categorical when talking about his situation. He left no room for ambiguity and made it clear that he knows the role he holds within the institution.

Ponzio: “I know the role I have, and I am never going to do River any harm”.

The statement came as a response to reports about his continuity, in a week when the sporting result helped settle the internal atmosphere and strengthen support for his work.

What he highlighted from the win over Belgrano

Beyond the debate over his future, the coach also dwelled on the team's performance. Based on what he said after the match, he valued the collective display, explained the decisions he made from the bench and even singled out a player who has previously played for the Argentina national team.

That gesture offered a double reading: on one hand, support for the squad in a convincing victory; on the other, the intention to focus on the performance and not on the rumor mill.

The backdrop to a busy week at River

Ponzio's statement comes at a sensitive moment for the club, with the team competing in a demanding stretch of the calendar and every word from the coach under scrutiny.

• River win: 3-0 against Belgrano.
• Main topic: rumors about Ponzio's continuity.
• Coach's message: commitment to the club and defense of his role.
• Other points in his analysis: the team's performance, substitutions and praise for a player with a past in the Argentina national team.

Against that backdrop, River is going through a week in which the result eased the atmosphere, but attention remains on the football and on the words of its coach.
