We must play a perfect game to be able to compete at the same level"
"I'm happy to be starting the World Cup, something everyone is looking forward to. We know who we're going to face. A rival that is ready to be the Libertadores champion. We, with our tools, our dreams, our enthusiasm, our people and our stadium, will try to play a perfect game. We must play a perfect game to be able to compete at the right level," he said.

"With all due respect to everyone, we know what Flamengo is, its history, what it means on the continent. I also mentioned that it is a European team playing in South America. But, as I said, we want to compete and we hope that everything goes well."
Coach didn't want any trouble
The Deportivo Táchira coach also avoided getting into a "controversy" with Filipe Luís . He was asked about the red-and-black coach's statement in which he said he "didn't know anything about Táchira" after the match against Internacional. Edgar Pérez said he watched the video and the moment when Filipe said he would focus on the Venezuelan team from the following day. He also reinforced that he understands the statement, as his team also played over the weekend.
Edgar Pérez downplays strategy for debut in Libertadores
When asked about how he should set up the team to face Flamengo , the Deportivo Táchira coach stated that the players' commitment is more important than any tactical scheme he could come up with.
"Besides the system you can have, beyond the strategy, there are extra games, I have to be supportive with my teammate, I have to defend everything and attack everyone. There are many details. You watch Libertadores games and at the end you say, 'what system are you playing?' No, you are not playing in any system, it is fighting, searching, running, that is the Copa Libertadores" , he said, before adding:
"So, I think we should do this, in addition to what we have planned, it's a beautiful match, against Flamengo, a Brazilian team that comes here to San Cristóbal, the best team in Venezuela will play against one of the best teams in Brazil, and we hope to rise to the occasion" , he concluded.
