The match will be played on Thursday (25), at 19 (Brasilia time), from Group D of the Libertadores
Fluminense has a match that can be decisive this Thursday (25) for the Copa Libertadores. The team, full of reserves, measures forces with The Strongest, at the Hernando Siles Stadium, and can leave the field with its place for the next phase of the continental competition.
Tricolor das Laranjeiras can secure the classification in Group D even with a draw. Fernando Diniz’s men have 100% success in three games. However, you have to be aware of some aspects against the Bolivian team.
ALTITUDE Sula’s confrontation will take place at Hernando Siles (Aizar Raldes/AFP)
The fact that the match will take place at around 3,600 meters above sea level will require a lot of energy from the Tricolor das Laranjeiras. In addition to adjusting for spin, players’ time on the ball is usually compromised.
There is an option for The Strongest to bet on long shots and high balls. The program of the Italian delegation is to arrive in La Paz close to game time, to minimize the effects of the altitude.
COACH WHO KNOWS THE AREA Claudio Biaggio: new step ahead of The Strongest (Press Release / The Strongest)
The Bolivian team has undergone a recent change of command. At the beginning of the month, Ismael Rescalvo left the club to accept a proposal from Mexican Mazatlán. The Tiger has resorted to a name known among the fans: Claudio Biaggio.
The Argentine had commanded The Strongest in the past year. Under his command, the team was leader of the Clausura 2022, but the competition ended without a declared champion due to the country’s social problems. After a spell at Always Ready this year, ‘Pampa’ returns to Tigre and will make his debut as manager of the club in an edition of Libertadores.
– The debut in Libertadores is too good. It is a privilege that The Strongest gives me and I feel proud to direct them. Already last year I had the great joy of qualifying for the Libertadores and today I have the opportunity to be alongside them. We are excited to play a great game and get the three points. The opponent knows how to play all kinds of games and it won’t be easy for us. But it won’t be for them either. Let’s hope they’re not well, but they’re sick – he said at the press conference.
One of his changes was clear on the pitch: the Bolivian team left the 4-3-2-1 adopted by Rescalvo and started playing in the 4-2-2-2. So far, the team has accumulated two wins and one loss in matches for the Bolivian championship under his command.

ARTILHEIRO EXCITED Disclosure / The strongest
One of the highlights of The Strongest, veteran Enrique Triverio returned to the network after about a month. The striker scored twice in a 4-1 win against Vaca Diez.
Motivation extends to a hunger to show service. The striker scored twice in a 3-1 win over Sporting Cristal on his Libertadores debut. It was the only time the Tiger went off the field with goals scored. The team also includes Isnaldo, a former Bahia player, and Churia.
– Luckily we are recovering important players from the squad. Isnaldo, fortunately, is well, in fullness to be able to relate. But fortunately we are complete and know that we will need everyone. In this regard, as a coach, I’m happy that we are all in the fullness of being able to field the best team. This is what we will try-he said.
