Venezuela v Ecuador Preview
Venezuela player Luis Manuel Seijas
“You feel the pressure to win. This game, for me, is more difficult than the one against Brazil, because here you`re required to not only defend, but also to attack.”
“We have to go out and look for the game if we want to gain an important result towards qualification.”
“The game against Brazil was important because we got a point, but if we don`t get anything on Saturday, in the end that point won`t serve for anything. We`ll see if it was a good result against Brazil by seeing if we can get something important on Saturday.”
