Atletico Nacional have all the respect in the world for Kashima Antlers but will not let them get in the way of reaching the Club World Cup final, midfielder Jhon Mosquera said Monday.
South American champions Atletico arrived in Osaka on Saturday with a heavy heart, still grieving over the air crash two weeks ago involving Brazilian club Chapecoense, which was flying to Colombia to face it in the Copa Sudamericana final.
Amid the healing process, Atletico must turn its attention to Kashima, which on Sunday defeated African champions Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 to advance to Wednesday's semifinal.
