The Strongest is ready for the classic from La Paz after the last training session held this Tuesday in Achumani. The atigrados will face Bolívar this Wednesday, at 20:00, at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz, in a rescheduled match from the eleventh round.
“Good, excellent, I think we have worked very well, “We are ready and waiting for the match to start,” was the first thing goalkeeper Guillemro Viscarra said to the journalists waiting for him as he left the Atigrad headquarters.
Viscarra acknowledged that he is motivated for the classic for two reasons. He mentioned what the national team did in the double date of the Qualifiers, in which he was the protagonist in the victory against Chile and the triumph of The Strongest against San Antonio as a visitor at the weekend.
“I think what happened to us with the national team was very nice, Then we had a good game against Tigre after the break, So that motivates us to fight for the lead in the classic,” he added.
His rival on duty has around ten casualties. due to injuries and suspensions, a factor that the goalkeeper does not trust.
“It is always complicated, It’s the toughest game of the year“That’s how we’re going to approach it. We’re definitely going to try to be the protagonists as we always do, regardless of the rival, but Bolívar has its strengths that we all know, so it’s going to be a nice match,” he said.
Viscarra said that he would like to face a Bolívar without casualties, But at the same time he acknowledged that the academy has a great squad of players.
“I do (face a complete Bolívar), that’s why they are classics, That’s why they are the two best teams in the country… We’re going for the three points that will put us ahead,” he said.
The Strongest does not want to miss the opportunity to reach Bolívar at the top of the Clausura tournament standings. The Celestes have 30 points and the Atigrados are at 27 points.
“We want to get closer to that first place and, as we did last year, never leave the first place. This is what we want to aim for, we know that this match is very important and we must not let them get the three points, because that would make things very difficult for us, but there is still a lot of tournament left and we know how to face this kind of long tournaments,” emphasized the goalkeeper from Santa Cruz.
