Lateral said that he expects a tougher match against the Argentine team and hopes that Rubro-Negro is ready to seek a place in the final
Flamengo has gained an important advantage to try to return to the great decision of the Copa Libertadores. On Wednesday evening (22nd), Rubro-Negro beat Racing 1-0 and will play for the minimum score in the second leg to guarantee the classification.
Contrary to what many expected, Flamengo had many difficulties at the Maracanã. Something that Rubro-Negro already expected, as full-back Guillermo Varala declared. The full-back called his opponent a “cup boy” and said the Argentines know how to play this style of play.
“We knew it would be a very tough match, albeit a tough one. They are a very competitive team, they know how to play these types of matches. So we knew exactly how the match would be. We fought until the end, until the goal arrived, which was very important,” he underlined.
Now, Rubro-Negro returns to Argentina, where they struggled to overcome Estudiantes in the quarter-finals. The Uruguayan hopes that the team is better prepared for the match in Avellaneda and with the desire to win once again in the match.
“We have to be better prepared than we were against Estudiantes. Their fans will put on a show. We have an advantage, but we have to be prepared and with the desire to win the match, because we have prepared for this,” he underlined.
