Canelo' Angulo and 'Checo' Flores are two players whose skills have been very important for Chivas' performance and will surely continue to be so in the scheme that Veljko Paunovic visualizes.
After a couple of weeks of activity under the Serbian tactician's orders, these players agree on several points regarding the new coaching staff's way of working with the Rebaño and their general preparation for the Clausura 2023.
The words of 'Canelo' Angulo:
"Every coach works differently and you have to adapt; now with 'profe Pauno' we are learning his way of playing, he brings different ideas, from Europe."
"They have been very intense training sessions, different, I would highlight the intensity that the team has had, I think we are on the right track".
"We are young players, we all have desire and that willingness to go out to press and now with this new coach we are working on intensity a lot, high pressure."
"He has asked me for intensity above all, I consider myself a player who can improve a lot defensively, who can support the team more by running backwards, that is what I have worked on during this time and I am learning it quite well."
"We have a good team to compete, with 'profe Pauno' and the new concepts we are working on we can compete against anyone."
"The team has been different, very intense, we have scored, which was what was costing us a little bit".
"We are excited and eager to play well against the European teams (Getafe and Athletic); we also know that at any moment we can be observed there and that is a plus for everyone."
"As the days go by I have been feeling better, at the beginning it cost me a bit because of the injury, but I am getting used to it and feeling better and better".
"We have a huge debt regarding the results of the last few tournaments, we are in debt".
The words of 'Checo' Flores:
"I can see the group is 'plugged in', very committed to the plans we have and the objectives we set ourselves, in the daily work you can see what we want to achieve".
" Profe Pauno' is a very intense person on and off the field, that serves us well, helps us a lot, it can be seen in the training and in the friendly matches, we have had a lot of chances, we have been very aggressive, which is what we will be looking for this tournament."
"(Paunovic) is very strategic, very timed, the arrival to the area, knowing when and how to do it, always looking to surprise the opponent, because there is always a way to do it no matter how much they know, that's what we have learned."
"On Isla Navidad we tried pressing from the top and it worked for us, I think we have been through a change and the intensity helps us a lot."
"We feel comfortable with this system, new, fresh ideas and we believe they will guide us to a positive outcome."
"Personally it helps me to use my strengths, it raises my level and speed and I feel very good".
"The 'profe' has told us that he still does not have a definite 11 because he is giving everyone the opportunity to show their best".
