Days go by and the debates about who is the candidate to win the Copa Libertadores becomes more and more intense. There is no doubt that both River, Boca and Racing have had very tough stops in the fight for a place among the top eight. But of course, in Núñez they already begin to think about the rival they will have in the defining phase: Atlético Paranaense.
The team of Lucho Gonzalez will be the opponent on duty for those led by Marcelo Gallardo. The historic midfielder, champion of America with the Millionaire in 2015, will face his former team again after what was that final of the Recopa in 2019. But the big question is, in what situation is the Brazilian team?
The Paranaense is not going through one of its best moments. Fighting in the last places of Serie A, he will try to make his footing in the maximum continental tournament against a group of Núñez that a priori appears infallible and consolidated. «Atlético has it very complicated with River. And I think that for them, they had the least complicated Brazilian, “slipped journalist Eduardo Deconto.
At the same time, he highlighted the very tough moment the group led by Eduardo Maciel de Barros is going through. «Paranaense stopped being a tough and intense rival. What’s more, the president (Mario Petraglia) is already thinking about the renewal of 2021. I think River you should have no problems. The only complicated thing is that he plays on synthetic grass, “he warned.
What is said in Brazil about Gallardo’s team and its chances in the Copa Libertadores? «We know that this is football and anything can happen, but here there is already talk that they will be River and Palmeiras in the semifinals. Why? Because the main Atletico players left and today, they are no longer such a tough opponent, “he closed. Will the Millionaire pass without problems?
