There's two ways to beat them away, and that's going route 1, or defending well and hitting on the counter on the flanks with someone like Rojas.  I assume you guys would be playing that way anyway in the first leg.


They aren't as small as years past, so though you should have a relative height advantage, they aren't as poor on set pieces in the air as would be expected...though if you have a freak athlete who can jump and manhandle people, they do have one CB who may be starting (Reyes) who weighs all of about 130 lbs. (59 kg).
