00:00 It's always going to be a very competitive tournament and very historical in South America.
00:06 Where teams today prepare a lot more than before.
00:14 The level has improved a lot, the demand.
00:18 Participating today has a very important value in sports and in economics.
00:25 I think the majority of the teams make a great effort to sustain their teams and improve their teams for this competition.
00:35 I think it's the most demanding tournament in South America.
00:40 Everyone wants to win it.
00:43 The big teams always have the obligation to win the tournament.
00:48 For us, the players, playing the cup is the most beautiful thing that can happen to you.
00:56 After a World Cup, a World Cup, or a Copa America, after all that, there is the Copa Libertadores.
01:04 The South American player always prepares to be in these tournaments.
01:08 You always dream of playing these games.
01:13 In my particular case, I missed it. I hadn't played for a long time.
01:19 Today, we have the opportunity to compete in an international tournament, a Copa Libertadores, that we all like.
01:27 We have two draws where the team is improving from less to more.
01:35 We have an important amount of games to face.
01:41 The tournament has just started, so we are coming at it with a good rhythm.
01:48 That is important for us.
01:52 The team is improving day by day, and we hope to reach a high level in the game against Aucast the other week in Quito.
02:03 That is going to be important for us, because being in competition is the best thing for a football player, not to mention for the team.
02:14 That is more important for us.
02:19 The squad was reduced because of the players that were in the last tournament, but they were able to form again to play this stage at the Copa Libertadores.
02:32 We know that in the Copa you can find everything.
02:37 Ecuador is a country of height, a team that has made great appearances in recent years, which is why it is in the Copa Libertadores.
02:51 We are going to face a complicated team, with the fact that they play at a place that is atypical for us in Paraguay.
03:03 We know that in South America there is everything, the heat, the cold, the humidity, the height.
03:10 Everyone takes into account these details for a football game.
03:16 We have to be more demanding in the Copa than we need to, and we need to take advantage of the location to be able to keep moving forward.
03:24 We have to not lose. Obviously, we always try to win.
03:31 We have the aspirations to do so.
03:35 We have to play it, we have to be smart. It is a difficult, complex tournament.
03:44 We have to play against rivals in restructuring, with atypical situations for us.
03:53 But we have to prepare.
03:56 I think we can play a great game. We can get a good result.
04:02 Nacional is a team that knows how to play at this distance.
04:09 They were one of the finalists of the Copa Libertadores in recent years.
04:13 I think it is a team that knows where it is standing, where it is going to play, knows the demands.
04:20 They know what is best for them in this type of game.
