After the defeat in the Clásico de Mexico, Fernando Hierro, Sporting Director of Club Guadalajara, called a press conference this Monday morning at the Akron Stadium, where he dispelled doubts and clarified several transcendents, in addition to sharing his opinion about the current situation of Chivas in the national championship.
Quotes from Fernando Hierro's conference:
"The (media) show around all this we will never control. We, President Amaury and my sports management know what we want, we know what we have. At this moment we must have much more tranquility and we have it, the coach knows perfectly well that he can work calmly, that he can be calm because of his president and his sporting director, there is absolute confidence".
"The coach knows from his president and sporting director that he can work calmly, from our side there is absolute confidence, this is a process, I said it when I arrived 10 months ago, that it takes time and I will not get tired of repeating it, we must continue working. We have a vision, a model and Veljko is leading it, it's as clear as that".
"When you have a defeat like this (in the Clasico de Mexico) the word crisis is going to come up, that there are problems in the dressing room, that there are players who do not understand the coach, that everything is wrong, that there are internal problems. But soccer is win or lose, it's as easy as that, in that respect we understand the pain of our people because we have it too".
"There are mini games within the 90 minutes and there were lapses in which we played very well and were protagonists, but soccer is about effectiveness or getting ahead on the scoreboard, there are many details, but when you tell me that we did not compete, do you mean that the players did not want to? Nene' Beltrán ran 11 kilometers, 'Oso' also, Erik ran another 10 kilometers, so I think we didn't have a good day, but we didn't compete, don't say that, the boys competed".
"Clearly we are not at our best moment, but looking at the points difference with the teams above us, we are better than last tournament, we are three points behind the leader, located in sixth place and in direct qualification positions for the Liguilla."
"El 'Pocho' is determinant, he is a franchise player for us, who has been in discomfort for the last 2 or 3 weeks and is working very hard to come back. We are a team, we don't see the individual level of anyone and we know that if we want to achieve important things, we have to do everything as a team to achieve something".
