After the draw against Toluca at the Akron Stadium, the ChivaHermanos were able to see a lot of what Fernando Gago and the team worked on during the preseason. Undoubtedly, the Rebaño deserved more, which was demonstrated by the way the match was played and the multiple scoring chances generated.
At the end of the match against the Diablos, the Argentinean tactician acknowledged that there is still a long way to go in the Apertura 2024 and that it is a matter of minutes of play to be able to reflect the good performance on the scoreboard, as well as taking the opportunity to endorse his support for his players.
Fernando Gago's words post-Toluca
"I liked the way the players played, the sensations they were able to generate. We knew what situations we could generate, where we could try to hurt the rival and from there generate situations to make it happen. I also liked the defensive work, knowing where they were looking to generate".
"We lacked faster circulations in the second half, but it is also the first match of the championship and it takes some time to adapt to reach the level I want."
"The striker lives from situations, not only from the goal. It is also from the way they are generated, that he gets to positions. I have a lot of confidence in Javier, Ricardo and Armando, we have to keep working to generate situations for them".
"I have been analyzing Fidel for almost a month, from all the matches he has played. He has a lot of associated play in game situations and he is decisive. During the week I saw him very well, he still needs to work on what we want; today he came in very well".
"Omar is going to give us a lot throughout the championship. He has that ability to see a pass that sometimes is difficult and he finds it".
"I said it last semester: I really like training, playing and working with young players, as long as they have preparation, not only soccer and physical, but everything that comes with being a Primera player."
"I try to make sure the boys are prepared when it's their turn to play, you have to take them slowly because it can also generate confusion and that can do the player harm."
"What the fans need is for us to do well and win the games, and what we need is their support, as they have always been in every game."
