Flamengo's players know they won't have an easy time next Thursday. The red-and-blacks know their opponent in the Libertadores quarterfinals isn't just any team. Quite the opposite. "La U" is the only undefeated team in the competition, having lost only twice this year and not having lost at home by a two-goal margin in a year. Therefore, there's respect for the Chileans. But at the same time, there's confidence that they can overcome this.
Defender Ronaldo Angelim knows exactly what to do to overcome Universidad de Chile. The number 4 analyzed the Chilean team's tactical scheme and praised Thursday's opponent.
"We didn't win, but no one else did either. I'm sure it'll be a great game. They play with two lines of four, a skillful midfielder in the center, and a dangerous center forward up front. It's going to be tough, and we know that. It's not easy to play against them. They're a team that does exactly what the coach asks, is disciplined, and is having a great year," he said.
However, Angelim himself believes that Flamengo, if they play their best and with determination, can make history and eliminate "La U" in Santa Laura.
"We're going to try to play a great game. We trust in the strength of our squad and our work. We have the ability to turn this situation around. There's no shortage of quality and there's no shortage of desire either," he concluded.
