This Wednesday, May 14, América hosts Huracán of Argentina at the Pascual Guerrero stadium to play matchday 5 of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage.
In Argentina, the match ended in a goalless draw at the Tomás Alfonso Ducó stadium, where our team put on a great performance. It's worth noting that Marcos Mina was injured in that game, but he returns to the squad for this international match.
Our technical director, Jorge Da Silva, referred to this key commitment in the final matches of group C.
“Huracán is a very good team, they’ve had a great Copa Libertadores run, and they’re a tough opponent, like all Argentine teams. Their strength lies in their quick transitions when they win back possession; they have very fast players in attack, and we’ll have to be very careful in that regard. We respect all our opponents equally. As the home team, we need to win, so we’re going to take risks and press high up the pitch from the start, trying to control possession and stay very focused defensively when we’re on the attack. We won’t give up on our strengths, which are key weapons to hurt our opponents,” our manager stated in a press conference.
For his part, Duván Vergara spoke about the attacking movements he and his teammates make, considering the Argentine team's strong defense: “When you face teams like that, you have to look for variety, not give them the ball because they have quick transitions, we have to take care of the ball. A coach taught me a long time ago that to attack you have to be disorganized, so I always try to play through the middle, on the right, not stay static in one position but be dynamic. We know what we have as a team.”
The match will be played at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium at 9:00 pm Colombian time.
