What They're Saying
Bolivia head coach Mauricio Soria (via El Universal): "When we have smarter players, we'll be able to play how we want to and we will make our opponents give us the respect we deserve."
Bolivia midfielder Marcelo Martins Moreno (via Goal): "We are ready for whatever comes. We are ready for a great game to win. If penalties are needed, we are ready for what comes."
Peru head coach Ricardo Gareca: "We accept the idea of favoritism, but we have to look at it another way. For the outside perhaps there is favoritism, but not for us. [Claudio] Pizarro is a great man and a key player. Paolo [Guerrero] is returning to his best and [Jefferson] Farfan is just recovering. The three of them are putting in a lot of effort."
