Athletico left this Monday morning for La Paz, where they will face Bolívar on Tuesday, at 9 pm, at the Hernando Siles stadium, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores .

Athletico embarks to face Bolívar without Thiago Heleno and with the return of Zé Ivaldo

This is the main problem for Head Coach Wesley Carvalho. Thiago Heleno is the captain and leader of the defense. But he was once found positive in anti-doping test after a match at altitude. He has thus been forbidden by the club to travel to altitude due to "physiological limitations" . The Bolivian city is 3,600 meters above sea level. With the other central back Pedro Henrique injured, Athletico will have to reform the defense, led by reserve defender Zé Ivaldo.

Bolivar are having a great season in 2023. They won all the three matches at home in Copa Liberatores, including a strong rival like Palmeiras.

I don’t see Athletico find a solution for altitude here.

Let’s back Bolivar.

巴拉纳竞技于本周一早上出发前往拉巴斯，他们将于周二晚上9点在埃尔南多·西莱斯体育场挑战玻利瓦尔，进行解放者杯16进8的第一回合比赛。

巴拉纳竞技队将在没有蒂亚戈·海莱诺和泽·伊瓦尔多回归的情况下迎战玻利瓦尔。这是主教练韦斯利·卡瓦略面临的主要问题。 蒂亚戈·海莱诺是队长和后防线的领导者。 但他曾在一次高原比赛后兴奋剂检测呈阳性。 因此，由于“生理限制”，他被俱乐部禁止前往高海拔地区。 玻利维亚城市海拔3600米。

由于另一名中后卫佩德罗·恩里克受伤，巴拉纳竞技队将不得不在替补后卫泽·伊瓦尔多的带领下改革后防线。

玻利瓦尔在2023年迎来一个伟大的赛季。他们在解放杯主场三场比赛全部获胜，其中包括帕尔梅拉斯这样的强敌。 我不认为巴拉纳竞技本轮可以找到海拔的解决方案。

让我们支持玻利瓦尔。
