If there was one thing Chivas showed in the match against Getafe, it was character and improvement, Veljko Paunovic did not hesitate in highlighting the good performance of the red and white team, both in defense and attack, which translates into the red and white identity. In addition, the Serbian tactician was very emotional for a personal reason, it has been 8 years since his father passed away, so the victory was very special for him.
Veljko Paunovic's words post Getafe:
"Today I remember my father who passed away 8 years ago and it makes me very emotional".
"We are in the preparation phase, both physically as well as in our character."
"We want everyone to understand how we intend to play with and without the ball".
"Of course the result against Getafe helps us to reinforce the concepts and what we believe in."
"From the first day I realized that this group has a thirst for learning and improving."
"We are giving them guidelines that are required to improve professionally and privately, we want them to be able to compete with anyone."
"I feel privileged to be chosen to lead this project and to be able to come to Spain to face teams like Getafe, which was my home for several years."
"The team is always going to compete and that is non-negotiable, whichever opponent we have in front of us."
"We are always positive about the situation we face, when we have the ball we will go forward and if we can't, we will keep possession and wait for the right moment to attack."
"The team was very organized and that's what we always look for."
"We are working on the transfer market, we want to improve the team with what we have and if we need something else, we will go to cover our needs."
"We know what the team needs and we won’t stop until we improve it."
