Wah bakal dapat lawan gampang nih MU :D -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Rudy Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BolaML]Copa Libertadores Final Preview: Liga De Quito - Fluminense 25/06/2008 02:37 | Goal.com Copa Libertadores Final Preview: Liga Deportiva Universitaria (Ecuador) - Fluminense (Brazil) When: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 Where: La Casa Blanca, Quito (Ecuador) Striving To Make History Neither of the two finalists have reached the final of the Copa Libertadores before, but while Brazilian clubs have a number of titles to their name, not a single club from Ecuador have ever won the title. In-fact Barcelona of Guayaquil have been the only club to reach the decider, having lost the final in both of their appearances. Liga goalkeeper Jose Francisco Cevallos was on the losing side when Barcelona faced Vasco da Gama in the final of 1998. LDU Quito will do their utmost to change this negative statistic, and they seem more than capable of winning the title for the very first time after 13 attempts. The 49th edition of the Copa Libertadores could finally go Ecuador's way. The Ecuadorean giants impressed en route to the final. They finished in second position in the group stage, incidentally, having lost the group to final opponents Fluminense; they drew 0-0 in Quito, and the Brazilians went on to win 1-0 in Rio de Janeiro. Liga demonstrated their attacking capabilities in a 6-1 thrashing of Copa Sudamericana champions Arsenal de Sarandi of Argentina. In-fact the local press has branded them as the "Argentine Killers" after having knocked off Estudiantes La Plata in the round of sixteen, and San Lorenzo in the quarter-finals, before defeating Club America of Mexico in the semi-finals. Liga are the back-bone of the Ecuadorean national team which held Argentina to a 1-1 draw in a 2010 World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires just over a week ago. This pretty much sums up the depth they have at their disposal. 106 Year Wait Finally Over? For years now clubs from Rio de Janeiro have had a huge rivalry, but until now Flamengo and Vasco da Gama have been the only one's to be crowned champions of the Copa Libertadores. Fluminense and Botafogo have stood in their shadows all this time, but this is finally Fluminense's opportunity to make a difference. Flu come into the championship decider as the favourites, not only because of the tradition of Brazilian clubs in the competition, but because they knocked out South American giants Sao Paulo and Boca Juniors on their way to the final. Their victory over Boca Juniors was particularly impressive. Not only did they manage to beat the reigning South American champions, but they did so in emphatic fashion. After holding Boca to a 2-2 draw in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, they went on to win the return leg 3-1 at a packed Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. It was a sensational performance from Renato Gaucho's side. This is without doubt the biggest game in Fluminense's 106 year history. They may have won the Brazilian national championship back in 1984, but when it comes to South American football nothing compares to winning the Copa Libertadores. With the likes of Dario Conca, Thiago Neves, Washington and Dodo Fluminense have all the right ingredients to win the title. The Flu fans are confident that their side will clinch the title, and the expectation before the match is huge, as all 69,000 tickets available to the general public were sold out in less than four hours, breaking the official record time set. But it will be worth it, as when the second leg commences there will be almost 100,000 roaring fans at the Maracana. However, Flu don't come into the match in the best form. Despite using several alternative sides, they have struggled of late and are currently rock-bottom of the 20-team Brazilian league. TEAM NEWS Liga de Quito Edgardo Bauza has confirmed he will put out the exact same team who eliminated Club America in the semi-finals a few weeks ago. He has rested his key players for the crucial match, and no-one comes into the match with any injuries. It is an ideal situation for the Ecuadorean champions. Probable Starting XI: Jose Cevallos, Jairo Campos, Norberto Araujo, Diego Armando Calderon, Joffre Guerron, Enrique Vera, Patricio Urrutia, Paul Ambrossi, Luis Bolanos, Damian Manso and Claudio Bieler. Coach: Edgardo Bauza. Fluminense Flu's only concern is a leg injury to striker Washington. If he doesn't make it in time he will be replaced by Dodo. The tricky attacker has been a great help for Fluminense coming from the substitute's bench, but he finally may get an opportunity to impress from the kick-off. Probable Starting XI: Fernando Henrique, Luiz Alberto, Gabriel, Thiago Silva, Junior Cesar, Ygor, Arouca, Thiago Neves, Dario Conca, Cicero and Washington. Coach: Renato Gaucho. PLAYERS TO WATCH Liga de Quito - Joffre Guerron The 23-year-old is Liga's most dangerous player when it comes to attacking down the flanks. He owns the right side of the field whenever he is playing, and his speed and determination has earned him praises all around the continent. He is also difficult to knock to the ground, and the Ecuador international is hoping to win a title before joining Getafe of Spain. Fluminense - Thiago Neves The inspiration of the team. Thiago Neves has proved his quality throughout the competition, and the left-footed player was the main reason why Flu were able to overcome Boca Juniors. He is a technically gifted player, with a great temperament and a venomous shot. Several top clubs around Europe are after his signature, so Thiago Neves will be determined to make one final impact with Flu. PREDICTION It is likely to be an evenly matched contest between two teams who have been extremely solid in the Copa Libertadores so far. Liga should dominate, particularly at the beginning of the match, while Fluminense will try to break them down on the counterattack. Expect a passionate encounter that is likely to be won by a single goal. Despite the 2,850 altitude, Flu have enough options to snatch a positive result from Quito, before closing in on the title at the legendary Maracana stadium. But remember, away goals don't count.
