The Monagas & Zamora Fútbol Club managers J. Ferreira and J. Rey Cortegoso are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Primera Division league table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Zamora Fútbol Club have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
