The hours passed and this Saturday the time came to meet the new champion of Uruguayan football, in a duel that promises a lot of emotions and in which Peñarol will receive Liverpool from 7 p.m. in the Champion of the Century.
It is the second chapter of two finals that began to be played last Wednesday, in which the black and blues were left with the victory in Belvedere by 2-0 thanks to the goals of Thiago Vecino and Ruben Bentancourt, which gives them a good income for face this new duel.
The competition regulations establish that, with equal points, everything will be defined by goal difference in favor, this makes the visitors know that by winning, tying and even losing by one goal they will be, for the first time, the champions of our country .
The Carboneros, meanwhile, must bet on winning by at least two goals in regular time to force overtime and penalties if necessary, or by more if they want to ensure consecration.
Two illusions for a single prize, which beyond the million dollars that the Uruguayan Football Association will award to whoever wins the cup, will have the flavor of an expected feat to close the year with a joy of such relevance.
Yellow and black
In coal stores, the concern generated by Wednesday’s result began to transform over the hours into a bet to reverse a moment of adversity in their fiefdom and with their public who purchased every last ticket that was for sale.
“It is possible,” said Diego Aguirre after the defeat, and that is what he worked for these days, with the aim of changing forms and some names to go for the result that they long for.
Given this, physical obstacles appeared, those that complicated the Aurinegros throughout the season, first with Abel Hernández and then with Damián García.
Hernández, who has a muscular overload that did not allow him to be among those called up in the previous duel, was among those concentrated and will be part of the substitute bench, with the clear knowledge that he will be a card to resort to, but that he is not suitable to perform the entire match.
The other great adversity that was known this Friday involves García, one of the best players on the team this season, and who with an illness became a very relevant absence for this clash.
In short, 25 footballers were concentrated, among which were not Kevin Méndez, Franco González (suspended) and Valentín Rodríguez, and of whom four will be left out of the call.
The probable eleven would be with: William de Amores; Hernan Menosse, Leo Coelho, Maximilian Olivera; Camilo Mayada, James Homenchenko, Sebastian Christopher, Sebastian Rodriguez, Lucas Hernandez: Angel Gonzalez, Matthias Arezo.
Black and blue
For the Belvedere team this Saturday may be the most important day in its history. Since 2019 to date, he has seven titles at the local level, but he has the chance to win the Uruguayan Championship for the first time, something that the almost a thousand fans who will be in the stands have dreamed of from generation to generation.
For that, it has three possible outcomes in the first instance: winning, by whatever margin; tie and even lose by one goal in regulation time. They can also lose by up to two and then win the victory in extra time or on penalties.
It’s the day to take the big leap. “It’s the little step we’re missing,” said Paraguayan Miguel Samudio, who since his arrival at the club became his point of reference.
Except for Gonzalo Nápoli, who was sent off in the previous duel, he will not be in the game, Jorge Bava will have his entire squad, counting on the return of Rodrigo Rivero.
The eleven is with: Sebastián Britos; Federico Pereira, Juan Izquierdo, Mateo Antoni, Miguel Samudio; Marcelo Meli, Martín Barrios; Luciano Rodríguez, Thiago Vecino, Ruben Bentancourt and Alan Medina.
The duel will be directed by Andrés Matonte, accompanied on the wings by Agustín Berisso and Mathías Muniz. Anahí Fernández will be the fourth referee, while the video refereeing will be under the control of Leodan González, Daniel Rodríguez and Nicolás Tarán.
