Guillermo Barros Schelotto is unconcerned by the deficit Boca Juniors need to overturn in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores semi-final tie against Independiente del Valle at La Bombonera on Thursday.
Boca took a 1-0 lead through Pablo Perez in the altitude of Quito last week, but a second-half fightback means Independiente take a 2-1 advantage to Buenos Aires.
Bryan Cabezas and Jose Angulo – both of whom were included in the preliminary Ecuador squad for the Copa America Centenario but failed to make the cut – scored the goals to put Pablo Repetto's team on the brink of history.
"We have 90 minutes to score one goal, not 15. Take the example of how Atletico Nacional managed to turn the tie against Rosario Central," said Barros Schelotto, referring to the Colombian side's progression from the quarter-finals despite losing the first leg 1-0.
"They were down in the score and won in the return leg, playing calmly throughout. They were playing neatly on the pitch, without going crazy. That will be the idea.
"The pitch is good. Obviously the fact we are playing at sea level will benefit us."
"We are one small step from making history, but we are calm. It is a young team, but with a winning mentality," he said.
