00:00This man is living a dream.
00:02He's always happy.
00:03That's the way it is.
00:05It's incredible.
00:07Racing has won in Domestika in Argentina 1-2 against San Lorenzo.
00:14And Cruzeiro has lost 2-1 against Corinthians in Domestika in Brazil.
00:21Can this affect them?
00:23It can't.
00:24Both teams are in Asunción, Paraguay.
00:27They're ready.
00:29But how do they get there?
00:31Can the last results of both teams have anything to do with the grand final?
00:38It's not just the last results.
00:41It's a very strong trend.
00:43Racing has won 5 times in a row.
00:45And Cruzeiro has only won 2 of the last 11 matches.
00:48They've been hit hard.
00:49Racing is 4 points ahead of the leaders in Argentine football.
00:55Cruzeiro is out of all continental competitions.
00:59He's 11 points ahead.
01:01The only way Cruzeiro can play continental competitions again next year
01:04is if he wins the South American Cup.
01:06They're coming from very different events.
01:09The favorite is Cruzeiro.
01:11The South American Cup champion has a direct pass to the Libertadores.
01:17I think the favorite is Cruzeiro.
01:20Besides the fact that they both live in Argentina,
01:23I also understand that the Brazilian league is above the Argentine league.
01:30We're all clear on that.
01:32I think the favorite is Cruzeiro.
01:34But we'll see.
01:35Racing, with this push,
01:37it's said that 80% of the stadium will be Racing.
01:40The city will be invaded by Argentine people.
01:43They're even going to open the other stadium in Paraguay
01:47with giant screens to show it.
01:50I don't know.
01:51Anything can happen in a final.
01:53I don't think the dynamics matter in a final.
01:56I think Cruzeiro is obligated.
01:58That's the obligation.
02:00For me, yes.
02:01For everything that represents the squad,
02:04the level of competition,
02:06the Brazilian league.
02:08Racing, no.
02:10Racing would be a feat to win.
02:12Yes, but I think the dynamics are different.
02:15Let's not forget,
02:16that man over there, Diniz,
02:18is supposedly the next world champion coach.
02:22He loses this final against an Argentine team
02:25and doesn't look back.
02:26He looks back.
02:27That's him.
02:28And Brazil is left alone.
02:29They have to.
02:30Brazil didn't have a choice because they hired Dorival.
02:32But that pressure isn't against Diniz
02:36and his own team, Cruzeiro.
02:38That pressure of, we have to win,
02:40we're supposedly better,
02:42my position as dangerously selected.
02:44The other final is guaranteed to be a Brazilian,
02:47Libertadores.
02:48Indeed.
02:49We have to be very careful
02:51with what happens in this match
02:53because many future individuals
02:56can change after this.
