“We know it will be a different match because Venezuela will also make its adjustments. Our goal is to stay focused, keep putting our patterns of play into practice, and make the most of this opportunity to improve our level of competitiveness. We’re going to make some adjustments, especially in a few details we noticed in the first match, and once again go in highly focused,” the coach said.
