Romario Caicedo, the Emelec fullback is preparing for the Classic of the Shipyard against Barcelona. The defender said that they cannot make mistakes against their fierce rival, in an interview with radio La Bruja.
"This match is different, the way to take care of ourselves because of everything it represents. We are in a moment where we have to win to reach the final, we are prepared to win. Let's hope everything goes well on Sunday, we cannot make mistakes," Caicedo said.
The player said they have studied Barcelona and if they close up at some point, they will have to look for alternatives: "If we can't go through the middle, we have to do it through the wings. We must not get desperate; we have to work the match," the player added.
Caicedo added that he doesn't know how many classics he has won, but he hopes to do it in this one to stay in the running: "It's a different match. We want to win by three to give joy to the fans."
Emelec and Barcelona will play on Sunday, September 18, at the George Capwell stadium, starting at 18:00.
