In Emelec the elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores de América, on Tuesday, against Atlético Mineiro is a closed chapter. Now, according to Nassib Neme, president of the millionaires, the goal is to win the second stage of the LigaPro and also the Ecuador Cup.
The electricians arrived in Guayaquil this Wednesday morning after falling 1-0 in Belo Horizonte, with a penalty scored by Hulk.
“Now we have to think about Macará (the first rival in the second half) and try to win the second stage to reach another final of Ecuadorian soccer,” said the leader.
“Football is like that: you can win, you can lose. We had to lose, but the team has all the conditions to return to the international stages, and for that we must start by beating Macará (in Ambato)”, added Neme.
The top blue manager insisted that now the goal is to play a championship final (with Barcelona SC) and try to win the Ecuador Cup.
“Emelec has a more than enough team; he is gifted in all lines, and the level he has shown has made it clear to us that we are capable of winning the stage”, specified the electrical owner.
“After a sadness like this there is no message to give. Everyone knows that he did his best; everyone is aware that they did their best. We were very close to forcing penalties”, concluded Neme. (D)
