We have to draw tonight agaisnt POnte Preta to qualify to the next round (semi-finals).
Om thursday we play on the LIbertadores against Atletico-MG.
Hope we win both so then out first team can play rest on the weekend! Anyway I think Osvaldo should not play the full team today...and rest some players for thursday, as the Libertadores is more important!
