Tigres UANL coach Ricardo Ferretti is hopeful over his team's chances as the Mexicans prepare to host Internacional in the return leg of their Copa Libertadores semi-final.
Ferretti and Co. welcome International to Estadio Universitario de Nuevo Leon on Wednesday, trailing the Brazilian outfit 2-1 on aggregate.
"I think the team showed courage, dedication, determination and naturally that the result is not good because we lost, but we still have the second leg at home," said Ferretti, who handed debuts to high-profile recruits Andre-Pierre Gignac and Javier Aquino in the first leg.
"We can improve certain things and I think we still hope to advance to the final."
"Talk is cheap. People have to know that we are facing one of the best teams in Brazil, and we will respect them but without fear," he said.
Inter make the trip to Mexico, knowing the pressure is on the home side thanks to goals from captain Andres D'Alessandro and Valdivia.
"I think it's a fair result. The advantage is ours," said coach Diego Aguirre.
"They have to reverse [the result], they have to win. It will be a tough match."
