Cesar Fariascoach of Aucasopened the game on the Flamengo and the meeting between the teams in the group stage of the liberators. The former Bolivia coach declared, in an interview with “GE”, that although he recognizes the grandeur of Brazilian teams, he believes he has one of the best squads under his command in his career.

“We have a very deep squad”said Farias. “It is not customary for Ecuadorian football or in many South American countries. We have 46 players and we think about the development of the squad, not the team from 1 to 11. Because we want to be two-time champions of Ecuador, we want to fight in Libertadores and we also want to Ecuador Cup”.

The coach added: “The Libertadores is played differently than other tournaments. we hire Jefferson Monterowho played in England, Mexico, christian germanwho played last year’s semifinals with barcelona, played in Poland. We have Rezabala, who played in Mexico, Tijuana, was U-20 South American champion in 2019 for Ecuador and third in the U-20 world. There are six players who are South American under-20 champions and third world champions”.

On preparing to face the Flamengo in the opening of the tournament, César was categorical. “We have a team prepared to play in attack. Whether against Flamengo, or against Racing. At home, we want to keep all the points. Let’s attack them, let’s get them. Flamengo knows how difficult it is to play in Quito, they just faced Del Valle. In the local tournament we were very close to Del Valle”spiked.
