Flamengo and Estudiantes face off in the first clash for a spot in the Libertadores semifinals

Argentine coach Eduardo Domínguez, from Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG), assured that the team is ready to face Flamengo. The match will take place at Maracanã this Thursday (18th), starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

“(To face Flamengo) you need courage, you need valor, but you also need to play good football. If you don’t play good football, it’s difficult. We are on the same level as our rival. Every time we go abroad, Estudiantes is strong and shows that strength. It’s very difficult to beat Estudiantes,” said Domínguez in an interview with the Argentine newspaper ‘Primera Página’.
