After defeating Cruz Azul on penalties and advancing to the final of the Copa por La Paz, Chivas can draw good conclusions from their first preseason match for the Apertura 2024. One of them will undoubtedly be the performance of the 2 players who recently joined Fernando Gago's team: Omar Govea and Daniel Aguirre.
The Argentinean tactician took the opportunity to give minutes to many of the Rebaño's players, who are trying to gain footballing rhythm and earn a place in the team. That said, it is time to analyze the debut of Govea and Aguirre with the Rojiblanca jersey.
Daniel Aguirre: The midfielder played the second half of the match and looked comfortable on the field, as in addition to his understanding with his teammates, he was able to generate a penalty in the last minutes of the match, as Andrés Gudiño brought him down when he was trying to score his goal. Subsequently, Víctor Guzmán converted it and allowed the game to go to penalties.
Omar Govea: He played the first half alongside Erick Gutiérrez and looked very good on the field. He even spoke to the media at the end of the match and here is what he had to say.
"Everyone has behaved at the same level with me. I have felt very good, today was my first game as a Chiva and the truth is that the team can achieve great things".
"Wearing the Chivas shirt is exciting, it's a dream that makes your skin crawl."
