It is not easy, but we can get through. "The Defensor boss is under no illusions how tough it will be though, believing the match situation could favour Nacional's style of play. "They feel comfortable playing away from home and waiting to hit you on the counter-attack if they can, " added Curutchet. "
That is why we must have a plan A and also a plan B. "Awaiting either Defensor or Nacional in the final looks certain to be Argentinian giants San Lorenzo, who thrashed Bolivian side Bolivar 5-0 in their semi-final first leg. Nacional boss Gustavo Morinigo is not looking that far ahead however, insisting his focus remains entirely on the Defensor match.
He said: "I have not watched the San Lorenzo game. I'm looking at our game. Then, if we progress, I'll watch the videos. "I've watched several Defensor Sporting games in which they had to come from behind in the scoring. It will be a tough game from the very beginning so we must pay attention. "We have achieved nothing yet. We must be in the same form (as the first leg), or even better, because we really want to play in the final. "
