Gustavo Costas: “If you give Ener Valencia a meter it will kill you”

the coach BoliviaArgentinian Gustavo Costashe analyzed the qualifying duel against Ecuadorwhich will be held on Thursday, October 12, at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz.

“We have to press and have a higher percentage of the ball than in other matches. Ecuador has very good strikers. Give Ener Valencia a meter and they will kill you. “Right now they are a very attacking team.” The coach analyzed in a press conference.

Costas expanded on Ecuador and the issue of altitude: “The last time they came to Bolivia they won at altitude (3-2 in 2020) and it didn’t affect them. I think the problem of altitude is already there. In the last match, Argentina seemed to be the team that adapted to the altitude.

Regarding his team, he talked about the poor pace of play that some players reach: “We have problems with kids who don’t play. They need rhythm, including Marcelo Moreno (IDV player). But he is a symbol of Bolivia, he gives us things and we have to see how we can benefit from him.”

Costas did not rule out the participation of goalkeeper Guillermo Viscara in the starting lineup against Ecuador. His presence has been one of the main doubts in recent days.
