Independiente Rivadavia coach v Fluminense: “We’re going to Brazil to win”

Independiente Rivadavia approaches its match against Fluminense this Wednesday at the Maracanã, in the second round of the Copa Libertadores, as the biggest game in its history. The Argentine side is competing in South America’s top club tournament for the first time.

Despite facing one of the most traditional clubs in Brazilian football and playing away from home, coach Alfredo Berti said his team does not intend to adopt a defensive approach.

— Every game is equally important (…). We will go there and play on equal terms, just as we do in every other match — the coach said.

After the 3-1 win in its last match, Berti also sent a confident message before the trip to Brazil.

— I want to send a hug to my friend Daniel (Vila, the club president). He should watch out because we’re going to Brazil to win.

The clash in Rio de Janeiro also represents a historic opportunity for the Argentine club to play at the Maracanã, considered one of the most iconic stadiums in world football.
