Carlos Barbosa and Cascavel meet again this Sunday (28), from 11:00 am (GMT) at the Municipal Events Center, in Carlos Barbosa (Rio Grande do Sul), in search of a place in the decision of the National League of Futsal (LNF). TV Brasil broadcasts the match live.

As they won by 4-2 in the first leg, last Monday (22), Serpent Tricolor will play for a draw to reach the decision. However, as they have a better campaign in the first phase, the principals now have the advantage of a draw in overtime if they win in normal time. Whoever advances gets Foz Cataratas or Magnus, who dispute the other semifinal.

Despite the defeat on the way, Carlos Barbosa coach Edgar Baldasso says he trusts the classification, even more in a game in which he has the support of his fans: “Every defeat puts you down, but that doesn't eliminate our confidence of everything that has ever been done. Nothing is lost, quite the opposite. The chances are great and, if they exist, we will fight for them”.

But, in addition to the support of the fans, the coach knows that a new attitude is essential in such an important game: “It is essential to start the game more forcefully. The issue of being two goals behind the score means that the team has to expose itself much more. The efficiency in the conclusions also needs to be greater, whether in the positional game or in good set-piece opportunities”.

Cascavel's commander Cassiano Klein, on the other hand, is not getting carried away by the advantage obtained at home, and expects a lot of balance in this Sunday's match: “There is no advantage, but the sequence of the duel. Like it's the second time now. We look forward to a fantastic atmosphere. It is the moment that every player prepares to live. Now it's our turn, and let's try to take advantage”.
