‘Rojo Matador’ fans were devastated after Nacional’s agonizing victory over Sport Huancayo for Phase 1 of the Libertadores Cup 2023. Therefore, the Paraguayan team will have to face Sporting Cristal in the next stage of the international tournament.
In this sense, the Bajo Pontino group spoke after the duel that took place in Asunción. In this way, the squad is already beginning to ‘warm up’ the match against the ‘Academy’ in this tough competition.
“We are going to Paraguay,” said the club through its official Twitter account. “Let’s go Team!”
In this sense, the Rimense squad will have to show their best level when they face Nacional, since they need to advance to the next round of the Libertadores in order to secure a place in an international tournament.
For now, it has not been confirmed which players will travel to Paraguay with Sporting Cristal, but undoubtedly the technical director Tiago Nunes will seek to have all his weapons on this occasion.
Even so, it is important to take into account that Brenner Marlos and Washington Corozo only played the second half against Carlos Mannucci, while NIlson Loyola and Jostin Alarcón were not on the list. For his part, Adrián Ugarriza has not yet officially debuted with the light blue shirt.
