Copa Libertadores
Liga de Quito vs São Paulo
The Ecuadorian team, leader with six units, will seek a new victory to establish themselves at the top of the area. However, the Brazilian cast, third with four, need a win to continue dreaming of the round of 16.
Coach Pablo Repetto's team from Quito will arrive motivated after regaining the lead in the local competition after a away draw against Emelec. But, the string of games can cause injuries among the members of the squad.
Such is the case of forward Rodrigo Aguirre, who is doubtful to measure himself against Sao Paulo. The news does not discourage the La Liga strategist who thinks big. "We are in the definition both in the championship and in the Cup," he said in the preview.
Dani Alves stayed in Brazil because he is still injured, Spanish right-back Juanfran returned to his country for personal reasons and striker Luciano is suspended for expulsion. Likewise, the fliers Liziero and Walce are still in the process of recovery.
The challenge for Brazilian coach Fernando Diniz's pupils will be to sharpen their aim and improve offensive plays, since the last two tri-color goals were against, scored by rival players.
The strategist will take the due safeguards before the 2,850 meters of height of the Ecuadorian capital, where the goal options in his favor will be scarce. He will have to counteract the pressure exerted by the rival, who at home scores from the opposite field and appeals to speed on the wings to wear down his opponent.
