For el 'Chicote' Calderón, it is all very clear. El Guadalajara must not lose sight of the fact that every remaining match is a final and, therefore, he warned that they will take to the pitch at the Azteca Stadium with the full determination to win the Clásico Nacional at all costs, in order to give the Chiva Nation some joy and keep themselves in the fight for sixth place in the table, and thus ensure that the Reclassification match will be played at home.
Cristian Calderón's phrases from the press videoconference:
"It was a result that wasn't expected, that we didn't want to happen at this stage of the tournament, but it happened just before the Liguilla and we need to learn from the match against Tigres "
"I saw a good, almost excellent performance, putting aside the result, but I saw the team doing very well, even with the changes made by the 'profe' the team continues to look good and that indicates that all the players are ready when required".
"I can see the team is focused and motivated for the derby, although we were a bit upset by the result against Tigres, but we changed our mindset at the end of that match and today we can see a united team, happy and eager to go and play the derby, get the three points and keep on winning".
"Chivas can fight toe-to-toe with any team, every match is complicated, but we work to win, in the beginning we had bad results but we turned the page, today it's América and we have to think about beating them, we know we can do it."
"It's exciting to catch an América that is leading in the standings, what better than to face those types of teams at this time, obviously we're not frightened that they haven't lost in 10 games, we're ready to face América, Monterrey, Tigres, those types of teams."
"I'm happy to be at Chivas, who wouldn't be. Maybe it hasn't been what I expected because I've had little participation, but I think being here and defending this shirt makes me happy and satisfied because I've left everything on the field."
"Sometimes it's sad or frustrating not to play, not to play so much, but you can't always play, you have to wait for your chance and this has been highlighted in these matches, I've just played against Toluca, Tijuana, Puebla and now I had a few minutes against Tigres, so these rotations that 'profe' Cadena has made are very good for the team".
"'Chiquete' Orozco is a great player, we have all seen him, I always approach him and tell him so, it doesn't bother me, he is doing very well and I have said so, I don't see the need to make changes just because we want to look good individually, for me it wouldn't be right, I just have to keep waiting for my chance and demonstrate when it's my turn".
"Chivas is the biggest in Mexican soccer, but I believe that what makes us different is having a roster made up of pure Mexicans, from the inside I can tell you that being a pure Mexican player does make a difference".
