Paraguayan Champions Seek Redemption Against Lima Alliance in Crucial Libertadores Cup Showdown
Paraguayan football club, Libertad, is determined to seek redemption as they face Lima Alliance in a crucial Libertadores Cup showdown. Despite emerging as champions in their local tournament, Libertad acknowledges the stark contrast in their performance on the international stage. Currently, they find themselves in the last place in their group, with a distressing memory of their defeat against Lima Alliance at the Defensores del Chaco stadium in Asunción. The upcoming match at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium holds significant importance for both teams, as they vie to secure a spot in the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup 2023.
Ruben Di Tore, the president of Libertad, expressed his disappointment over the previous encounter between the two clubs. Di Tore confessed, It hurt a lot, I have to be honest. We’re here for revenge. Facing a great team like Alianza, hopefully, it will be a great match. The Paraguayan team’s recent triumph in the local tournament provides them with a sense of reassurance. Di Tore stated, Arriving as champions, I don’t know if it’s a plus, but it’s peace of mind, since we had to fight on two fronts, and now only on one. The issue is easier.
However, despite their local success, Libertad is well aware of the urgency to accumulate points in the international competition. With only one win and two losses, the team recognizes the need for a more favorable outcome. Di Tore emphasized, We lost two home games, won one away, and we must try to even things out by winning away again.
The time constraint leading up to the match poses an additional challenge for Libertad. Di Tore reflected on the limited time available but affirmed their determination to surprise their opponents. He stated, On Saturday, we became champions, and there was hardly much time to celebrate or anything. The team is fine, and we hope they can recover physically because we played on a heavy court over the weekend. We are ready to rise to the occasion.
