Toluca, Estado de México.- Guadalajara showed a good footballing performance with and without the ball against a complicated opponent who, from the start, sought to be the protagonist, but were unable to take advantage and the score ended in a 1-1 draw, in a match corresponding to Day 10 of the Apertura 2023.
After the match, Veljko Paunovic spoke to the media and took the opportunity to give his analysis of the match and clarify some specific doubts about several of the Rebaño's players.
Veljko Paunovic's words:
"I think the performance was positive, it is a sample of what we can go building and working on throughout the week."
"The team has never been broken, of course the one who doesn't play will be sad."
"Everyone has a good attitude and works hard, there are players who run 12 or 13 kilometers every game. We should be very proud that there are Mexican players who have that level of wear and tear and intensity."
"The players understand that it is a matter of recovering well, getting organized and generating an adequate plan to face the opponent."
"Today we played on the field of a team that plays very well, they created problems for us but we also made them uncomfortable."
"We evened out the midfield and put the match under control, from then on the team showed the capacity for effort and reaction."
"We have the Clasico week in town and we need to have our confidence at the top of our game."
"We have lost games because of our own fault, for failing in aspects that we did control."
"Any team can have a bad day, what we have to do is show that we are doing things right."
"I saw the 'Canelo' Alvarez fight and he was very inspired, I went out and told the guys: this is a Mexican who goes out and fights, even if he didn't win at the end of the 12 rounds, he always tries to go forward."
"That inspiration serves as an example to us of how we should face every match until the end."
"Víctor Guzmán did not play due to a technical decision, there is no extra problem."
"Chivas is always obliged to win, but there is no team in the world that can guarantee it will win a match."
"Rangel played a great match, he showed how much he has served him all this time working behind the curtains."
"The 'Tala' has played with Tapatio, in Leagues Cup and from that he took a lot of experience".
"To the young man we have to help him not to fail, it is not easy to go out to debut in a match like today's, that's why we made sure he was ready to play."
"We recognize the work of our goalkeepers, Miguel Jimenez also saved a penalty a week ago."
"Anxiety is the worst enemy in moments of pressure, when Alexis came out of his injury we put too much weight on his shoulders and I made the decision to take the pressure off him."
"We have a plan for the player and we are confident that we will bring back the lion inside Alexis Vega."
"We have a very important game next weekend, we need to win those 3 points."
