Fernando Gago made his formal debut as coach of Chivas and did so with a 1-1 draw against Santos at the Akron Stadium. This match left many things to be analyzed and the Argentinean tactician gave his first impressions of his team's performance.
Fernando Gago's words:
-I really liked the team, how they understood the game. In the first half we had almost 10 chances and then with the goal against us the team insisted.
-We keep on working and I have been telling you, we are going to fight until the end and today was a demonstration of the team's character.
-It's nice that the young players have the opportunity, they have to take advantage of it and with me they can't relax.
-The team at times found situations in the match where we planned and wanted to have them, then there is the execution and the opponent also counts.
-The line of three gave us more depth on one side, with the entry of 'Pollo' we gained aerial play.
-With the reinforcements, I won’t consider them until they have trained with me.
-The team was the protagonist, attacked inside and outside, and we will continue to grow.
-This is a game and sometimes there are situations that change depending on the match, we did not convert clear options and they did, but we will continue like this, the team was comfortable.
-We want to compete and win, today the team had the fortitude and the ability to keep thinking until the end, so we scored two goals in the last moments of the game and unfortunately only one of them counted.
-I just said hello to Cowell, but we'll see until Monday.
-Jose Juan had a great preseason, he has to play to regain his level. It's okay if he misses a goal, he will give us a lot.
