The word of Yoshimar Yotún
“Like all Cup matches, against River Plate it will be difficult, and it’s also our turn to visit, it’s going to be more complicated. We are going to do our thing, to win and if it is not possible, to tie it. I will always support from the outside (sent off against Fluminense), the team is pretty good”, said the national midfielder prior to the duel against the Argentine squad.
“There are always aspects to improve. In the pre Libertadores I said that the team was evolving. I keep thinking about it. There is a consolidated project and there is always something more to do. There is a young squad”, highlighted the team captain.
