“He is making a huge effort and gradually he will return to his best level. He always wants to play, he feels pain, but he wants to be on the pitch. If he can play, he will do it. Because, if he doesn’t play, he will be p …,” said the Coach Emiliano Díaz.

Díaz and his father, Ramón, can repeat the formation used in the triumph on Santos, except on the left side, since Fabrizio Angileri is not engraved with Libertadores. The vacant place is between Matheus Bidu and Hugo.
