“At home Miguel Terceros”, posted the Brazilian club on their social networks. The message is accompanied by a short video of the 18-year-old from Santa Cruz, going to the bus that took the campus to a hotel in the capital.
The delegation will rest on Bolivian soil and tomorrow will complete a light practice and will reconnoitre the playing field, before facing the sky-blue team, led by Carlos Bustos.
Third parties will be an interesting alternative to the technical director of Santos, Odair Hellmann, that counts in the middle sector with Lucas Lima and Rodrigo Fernández, who are the ones who pull the strings in the middle sector of the black and white team.

The group stage of the South American will be played from April 4 to June 29 and only the winners of each series will advance directly to the round of 16.

The final will be played on October 28 in a single match in Montevideo.
