Talleres de Córdoba reported this Monday that all the seats available at the Mario Alberto Kempes World Cup stadium were already sold out, where this Wednesday the rematch with Vélez will be played for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
The Barrio Jardín club made available the last remaining lot in the Artime grandstand (south header), whose sale began after the first leg that Vélez won 3-2 in Liniers last Wednesday, due to the decision to prevent the entry of visiting fans. This measure was adopted in the face of serious incidents between the local bar and “albiazul” fans infiltrated in the upper tray of the South stalls of the José Amalfitani stadium.
The expectation for the second leg between Talleres and Vélez is very high in Córdoba, and the cup climate began to be felt strongly on Saturday night in the game in which the ‘T’ beat Argentinos Juniors for the Professional League. The fans asked for a victory to be able to advance to the semifinals of the Libertadores, a fact that would be unprecedented for the history of the club. The Kempes has capacity for 57,000 spectators and on Wednesday for the transcendental match it will be full of fans of the ‘T’.
Coach Pedro Caixinha will begin to outline the starting line-up in training this Monday for the game against ‘Cacique’ Alexander Medina, and then he will give a press conference.
