Veljko Paunovic's words after Chivas' victory in Puebla:
"We took another step in our resurgence, we faced a great opponent and managed to keep a clean sheet".
"Puebla was a great opponent, the team showed a good structure without the ball, although we can still improve with the ball."
"Good individual performances help the team to have a good closing and we can reach our goal which is to finish in the top 4 places."
"We are already looking forward to the game against Tigres, a rival against whom there is a marked imprint after the final we lost, and that helps us to light the fuse of motivation ahead of that match".
"Alvarado is in great form, his quality brings us a lot. We all benefit from his high level, he has taken on a great role".
"We still haven't reached our objective, but these results bring us closer, the spirit has been lifted and we just have to keep working.
"I spoke to the returning players (Alexis and 'Chicote'), they are eager to do so, but they will do so on our terms. They have to earn the opportunity, we are expectant that they will comply with our terms."
"There are few people who can raise their hand and say they have never made a mistake, second chances are earned with actions. This is all a process and what we want is for there to be learning in the locker room and we can put it behind us."
