Guillermo Barros Schelotto issues warning ahead of Vélez v Racing clash | OneFootball

Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who is celebrating the coronation in the Argentina Supercup, is already anticipating the clash between Vélez and Racing for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

"The series with Racing is on our minds. It's going to be a very tough key because we are two teams that know each other, from the same country... You have the possibility of not traveling, which is better, but the opponent knows you much more, there is much more history and it becomes much more difficult," he explained in an interview with Conmebol.

In that sense, he affirmed that Racing "is a tough, difficult team" and that "from any offensive situation it generates a goal". In addition, he praised the scorer of the Academy: "It has a scorer like Martínez who is having a year... He doesn't stop scoring goals. But well, we also have our own".

"We have a very even match with Racing. Very even. We'll have to see if in those two matches we manage to impose ourselves and reach the semifinals. That's what we're here for, to try to reach the semifinals," the Twin concluded.

After the coronation in the Argentina Supercup, Vélez focuses on the Libertadores, the dream this season. The first leg of the quarterfinals against Racing will be played in Liniers on Tuesday, September 16, while the rematch will be on the 23rd at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
