Results are a consequence of good work and Veljko Paunovic is clear on this principle, which is why he pointed out that the Matchday 5 match against Querétaro will be a tough test, but that they are coming into the match with the same commitment and determination the team has shown in every training session.
In addition, Guadalajara’s coach spoke about the condition of several of his players, including José Juan Macías and his possible return.
Veljko Paunovic's words:
"We all want the same thing, we are working to give a good game on Sunday. We have to apply all the concepts we have focused on."
"We want to be consistent throughout the 90 minutes."
"The results will be the consequence of how well we have done our job."
"Every match for us and for the rival is a final, it makes no sense to look back and draw on data that won’t be able to help us".
"Querétaro has its resources, it will be a tough match and they are looking to improve. We are focused on preparing ourselves physically and mentally to play a good match."
"We live in the moment, we believe we have room for improvement but we are heading in a good direction."
"My message to the players is to focus and improve. The best thing is that they are doing it, they are committed and they care that their development is evident."
"We will be self-critical when it's time to be, we need to achieve results as soon as possible."
"We have players with different characteristics, the profiles we have in the squad will propose different problems for the rival".
"Injuries have conditioned us because we have to make changes when maybe we hadn’t considered making".
"I don't see the need to open cracks in what we have been doing, we have a great atmosphere and we know where to go".
"An injury speaks of commitment, that a player is trying his best."
"We have only one muscle injury, which is that of 'Pollo'. Brizuela's is something chronic, that's why an operation has to come to solve."
"Vega has a history in both knees, so we were aware that his injury could happen."
"Macias is tuning up to be available as soon as possible, we will be careful to avoid relapses or chronic problems that will affect him in the long term."
"JJ is a very important guy for us, he is very hungry to eat the world and we will help him to be ready soon."
"We hope to have Macías ready by the end of February, although the process will be dictated by the evolution of the player himself."
" You can be demanding of a Mexican player but they also must be given confidence, I think they are better than what they have shown the world."
"I know players from different countries, Mexican players have a tremendous potential but they need to be given confidence".
