Both Veljko Paunovic and his squad are aware of what is at stake, which is why it is essential to beat Necaxa, in addition to further strengthening the connection with the Rojiblanca Nation ahead of the final phase, the 3 points would give them an important boost in the general table in order to finish in the top 4 places in the league standings.
In addition to resolving the main doubt among the ChivaHermanos as to whether or not Fernando Beltrán will be available for this duel, Veljko answered many other questions at Friday's press conference.
Veljko Paunovic's quotes:
"We always propose attacking play, we always look to win. Besides being a responsibility it is a devotion, tomorrow's game will be no different, we will look to be offensive and be the team that generates."
"It would have been very good for the team to have the 2 from the beginning of the tournament (Alexis Vega and Víctor Guzmán), these are facts that have affected a little bit not having that duo, but with those 2 I am sure we will have more options to win every match".
"Both Alexis and 'Pocho' are very well supported by the rest of the team and I think we have always been competitive during the tournament, but the more people of that level that are available, the better for the team."
"Each player receives a 'feedback' every week from the coaching staff and there we share positive things with them, we reinforce some things through video, which is a very important tool for us to exemplify, and there we look for solutions together, coaching staff and player."
"Fernando Beltrán is available, he has trained this week practically without pain, but I don't want to get ahead of myself, there is one more training session left today in the afternoon and we hope not to have any surprises, but so far he is considered for tomorrow."
"In the case of 'Lalo' Torres we detected that he had many losses and we wanted to improve that with him, as soon as he has improved, he has been constant and has maintained a good attitude at work, he got the opportunity in the tour in the United States he took advantage of it and consequently in the Clasico Tapatio".
"At the end of the season we need all the players available, to the maximum, I also understand that there are other events that can affect that situation, but to be honest FIFA determines very clearly the dates of when players must go with the national team."
"I don't like to get ahead of the facts, we have to wait to see the list and see who can be called up (National Team Call-Ups), in the case of those who are that would change the availability of our squad and at a time of the championship that is decisive."
