Edgardo Bauza: "My illusion is to win the Cup"
12 / 05 / 2008
Edgardo Bauza (50 years old) assumed as coach of Liga de Quito, in July of 2006. The Argentinean ended up replacing Peruvian Juan Carlos Oblitas, but suffered the rejection of a great sector of the supporters. At the end of the season he achieved the third position. His revenge came in 2007, when he reached the Ecuadorian title. Today his dream is to win the Santander Libertadores Cup, where he will measure against San Lorenzo in quarter finals.
"The best defense is playing to attack"
12 / 05 / 2008
He filled Brazil and the world's pitches with joy, while the public went mad with his unstoppable skill. Idolized by all the clubs in which he played, he shone close to the lime line, over which he finally jumped as coach to proclaim the same kind of football he used to enforce. He knew how to convince his players with a very simple speech and that is how he has led Fluminense to the seat of honour of the great.
In an epic match, San Lorenzo tied 2-2 with River Plate and moves on to the following phase of the Cup
09 / 05 / 2008
In the most spectacular match the Cup Libertadores has had until the moment, San Lorenzo de Almagro achieved the pass to quarter finals in a 2-2 draw as visitor with River, after having been losing by 2-0 and playing a great part of the match with nine players.
This football epic poetry of San Lorenzo had Gonzalo Bergessio as the star and main character, since he converted the two goals for the "Hurricane", while the ephemeral illusion of River was due to goals by Matías Abelairas, in a free shot, and Uruguayan Sebastian Abreu, in a penalty kick.

08 / 05 / 2008
