Attention, Fans! Estudiantes and Corinthians in the Libertadores!

Hello, everyone! The big moment is coming, and the excitement is through the roof! Estudiantes’ coach, Alexander Medina, spoke about the Corinthians' strength in set pieces, especially with the dynamic duo Memphis Depay and Garro, ahead of the first match of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.

When and Where Will It Happen?

The teams will face each other this Tuesday (9), at 21h30 (Brasília time), in La Plata, Argentina. And for those who are already anxious, the second leg is scheduled for 16 September, at the Neo Química Arena, at the same time.

What Does Medina Have to Say?

After the loss by 1 to 0 against Vélez, Medina conducted an analysis and pointed out that set pieces need attention. He said:

"We saw that the opponent has strengths, especially in Depay and Garro’s set pieces."

And it turns out he’s right, isn’t he? Medina also stressed that this result doesn’t say everything about Estudiantes’ defense:

"It’s not one match that we’re going to say we have problems in defense. That’s not the team—it’s a different one."

The coach is confident! He assured everyone that they worked hard on this issue before the clash with Corinthians:

"Today we worked on set pieces; we’ll arrive well."

Corinthians and Their Deadly Plays

It’s worth remembering that in the round of 16, the Corinthians also used set pieces to their advantage to secure qualification. Memphis took a free kick from the right and the Bidon was quick—he anticipated it, redirected it toward the goal of Rosário Central (ARG), who ended up being eliminated.

In Conclusion...

The anticipation is at an all-time high for this big matchup! Set pieces promise to be a decisive factor, so who will come out victorious? Stay tuned, because the Libertadores is really heating up!
