At the end of Matchday 10 of the Clausura 2024, where Chivas faced Cruz Azul, Fernando Gago analyzed his team's performance at the Estadio Azteca, acknowledging that the face presented by the Rebaño was not what they were looking for. However, he emphasized that they are already thinking about correcting the necessary details for Guadalajara's next match, at home and in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
This is what Fernando Gago said at a press conference
"We didn't play well in the first half, we were outplayed from positioning and duels. We had 10-12 minutes of the match where we did do what we wanted to do."
"With a score like this, it was very difficult for us to play. In the second half we had more desire, more impetus to go after the result, but we lacked what we wanted to do".
"Javier lacks playing rhythm, which is what we are looking for with this whole process of him getting more minutes so that he can regain what he is going to find with the game. The evolution since the injury is going well and what we are looking for for him in terms of soccer".
"We have to get through this, tomorrow we will start working again to prepare for the next match, we can't dwell on how it will affect him".
"We didn't do what we had to do, and for that very reason it gives the feeling that the team spent 12 minutes with the pressure, with the places where we wanted to attack and where we didn't want the opponent's ball to arrive; after the goal situations we fell and we couldn't hold the game".
"There are several aspects to correct, when we lose and when we win. My work mentality is this".
"Today the result and the match were not the best. We have to turn the page and, starting tomorrow, think about what comes next".
