Alvaro Gutierreztrainer Nationalthe match against Inter de Porto Alegre fumbled in favor CONMEBOL Libertadorescommented on the absence due to Camilo Cándido’s suspension and said if counter-playing was an option even when Bag is home on Wednesday at Great Central Park.
“Playing the Cup and at home is another thing, tickets in Central Park are already sold out and It’s already happened to us in other games where we seemed to be a team with a bit of energy, then we went to compete abroad and we always went a step further. Let’s hope the same thing happensThe coach said in a press conference, noting that his players will be able to “change the chip” and focus on the Libertadores after Saturday’s 1-1 match against Cerro in the Intermediate Championship of the Uruguayan Championship.
Then he made a point when asked what he expects from Inter: “They are trying to go out and win because if they win they also guarantee the ranking. And we know it’s a good team, they did it in Colombia where they drew against DIM and they could have won. And in Venezuela against Metropolitanos it was hard for him but he also went out to look for the match; I think the same thing will happen here, Brazilian teams if anything they have is faith in the football they play“.
With two dates left to complete the group stage, Inter leads Group B with eight points, one point ahead of Independiente Medellin and Nacional, with Metropolitanos last and without units. This Wednesday at 7:00pm Uruguay will host Inter, and Thursday it will be the Venezuelans home against DIM. On Wednesday, June 28, Polso will play Millonarios in Montevideo, and Inter Colombians in Porto Alegre.
Gutierrez said he did not rule out a counterattackWe’ll see how the game is set up, it’s given us results. Other times we’ve managed to get out there and push.”
“We have the possibility of getting close to the playoffs and that is how we will face it, not only as coaching staff, but also as players. These two remaining matches for us are final. Gutierrez assessed that you can even have the bad luck of losing to Inter and still have a chance for the last match.
The coach will not be able to count on left-back Camilo Candido or midfielder Gaston Pereiro, both of whom are suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Al-Quwati spoke in particular of the former’s absence:It’s a problem because he’s one of those who were playing, maybe we have (Christian) Almeida or we can also pass Charlie (Leandro Lozano) to that side“.
