Aware that Chivas' performance against Necaxa was not as expected, Fernando Gago shared his analysis of the match and acknowledged that they will have to redouble their efforts to fine-tune the necessary details for the game against Pumas next Saturday.
Fernando Gago's post-Necaxa quotes
"We are experiencing a feeling where we didn't find the moments where we had to attack, where to be patient".
"We knew what the opponent could propose from second hand balls, individual duels, and arrivals on the flanks. The team did not have the necessary game to control the match, so we had many transitions and the team did not dominate it".
"Javier (Hernández) still has some time left, we will talk when he is ready.
"Rival teams play differently at home. We try to play every match the same way, regardless of where we play".
"There is a team that is positioned with 8 players behind the line of the ball, it is very difficult to get in. Passes have to be risked and we had situations on the inside. We had to populate that inside area of theirs, but we didn't get the game going from the end."
"The team is working, it's playing well and it's not just the striker who scores goals. In my way of looking at soccer, the striker doesn't just score goals; can he finish? Yes. When an opposing team has a line of 3, the 9 does not have so much space to generate situations."
"We lacked fluency, we lacked play, we lacked situations, but it's not because of our name, but because of the opponent's positioning".
"We are the team that conceded the fewest goals in the league. The last 3 goals before this match had been in the 75th to 90th minutes; it is the level of concentration in those details. We have to work on that, there will be situations in which the team will want to attack because we want to position people up front. In soccer there is virtue and error, so from the game we want to position ourselves, we are the team that recovers the most balls in the high area"
