Botafogo faces Atletico Madrid to ensure the classification and keep up with the World Cup

Cariocas tries a new victory over a European team after beating the PSG for the second round

Full from the “historical beat” applied in Paris Saint-Germainthe “colossal” botofogo faces the Atletico de Madrid This Monday, at 16h (Brasilia), at the Rose Bowl stadium, Pasadena, and needs only a draw to qualify first in the so -called “death group” of World clubs.

The current sample of the Brazilians and Libertadores has six points and 2 positive balance and guarantees the transition to the Knockout of the competition also with a defeat for a maximum of two goals. In this case, probably in second position, since PSG faces Seattle Sounders simultaneously with Seattle Field. The Paris team and Atletico add six points each, but the French exploit the criteria of Tiebreaker (direct confrontation). Seattle is zeroed and should be easy prey for the French.

The intersection of the round of 16 of the teams that advance in group B will be against the A teams of A, which has Palmeiras and Inter Miami first. The group definition also takes place this Monday, at 22:00 (Brasilia). With this, the sequence of the World Cup can have Botafogo X Palmeiras or Botafogo x Inter Miami.

Before that, however, the team of the coach Renato Paiva must guarantee the classification. The Rio team designed expressions of exaltation, such as “historical punch” and “colossal” in the international press after taking the current champions of the “Piedista” Champions League champions and also so the Portuguese adopts caution in the match against the Spaniards.

“The players know that we still have a game and a result to achieve our first goal, which is the classification. So we have to keep our feet on the ground,” said the coach immediately after 1-0 on the French.

Paiva should keep the team that started the game with PSG, with the expert Allan among the owners, in the Place Mastriani. The steering wheel used to combat the strong Parisian midfield must face an opponent’s opponent for passing the battle for territorial control.

After suffering a PSG route to the debut of the World Cup, the Spanish team redeemed himself convincingly by beating Seattle Sounders showing an aggressive position, with a high and constant brand volume, suffocating the American team in their field at the beginning of the game.

After obtaining the advantage on the scoreboard, the team of the Argentine coach Diego Simeone returned to their characteristic game style, with the reinforced midfield, reducing the opponent’s spaces and a solid defensive system. Atletico De Madrid knows by heart how his coach likes to create the team, as Simeone Star in the longest work of the World Cup. He has been responsible for mattresses since December 2011.

The Atletico striker, Argentine Julian Alvarez, said that the team must be calm, since it must be necessary to win with more than one goal to advance the World Cup. “It depends on us, we shouldn’t wait for other results,” he said. “We know that after scoring a goal, we need more. We have to play as always, to win. The goals will come. We have to stay calm.”

The Uruguayan defender Gimenez was injured in the victory over the Seattle Sounders and is doubtful for the decisive clash. If you can’t play, Witsel must compose the Atletico Madrid defender.
