Santos vs Cerro Porteño Match Preview
Both Santos and Cerro Porteño have shown strong credentials to lift this year's Libertadores. Brazilians and Paraguayans met each other on the fields only weeks ago, back in the Group Stage, when Santos defeated Leo Astrada's boys 2-1 in Asuncion, before sharing points in Brazil.Lead by Roberto Nanni and Juan Manuel Iturbe, Cerro Porteño reached its sixth semi-final in the Libertadores. Astrada's boys advanced to this stage upon defeating Jaguares in Mexico, while Santos had to take on Once Caldas. "Our rival suffers when they don't have room to create. We'll not adopt a defensive stance in Brazil, we'll be offensively aggressive" said Astrada in Brazil.
"This could be the most complicated, most challenging game waiting ahead for us" said Cerro's top scorer Roberto Nanni. Jonathan Fabbro, Javier Villarreal and Iván Torres will lead the attack with the Argentinean, while Juan Manuel Lucero could be making way for Rodrigo Burgos in the starting eleven.
Santos' coach Muricy Ramalho celebrated its first victory with the Brazilian powerhouse against Cerro Porteño back in the Group Stage. "Instead of thinking about the four games pending to lift the title, I analyze the difficulties we've been through in this competition to reach this stage. Now, it's time to face two major rivals to claim the Libertadores" said Ramalho.
Regarding his rival this week, Ramalho declared "They know what they do, they play their game. Cerro has a strong presence on the wings. Their technique is unchallenged, albeit not particularly fast".
Santos looks forward to lift the Libertadores for the first time since 1963. Can young promise Neymar lead the Peixes towards the American glory?
