In addition to keeping a clean sheet for the seventh consecutive time at the Akron Stadium, Chivas showed maturity and forcefulness against León, which allowed them to win 2-0 and earn the three points in the match corresponding to Matchday 8 of the Apertura 2024.
After the match, Fernando Gago spoke at a press conference and did not hesitate to analyze what happened on Wednesday night. The Argentine tactician spoke about the keys to the victory and also about what's to come for the Rebaño Sagrado in the tournament.
"We played very well in the first half, with the intensity we were looking for. They have a new coach and he works very differently than the previous one, so we knew they could change a lot."
"In the second half we lost possessions, control of the game and we lacked fluency, we couldn't find the same situations with the score in our favor as when we were tied."
"What is a reality is that with the score in favor we found more space to attack in transitions, so we tried to hurt them that way."
"The team has generated an important solidity, I want us to be a defensively strong team to be able to attack with criteria".
"Every negative result has its struggle, but soccer gives pay back constantly. We have been growing in soccer, but we must continue to improve and find more continuity in different moments of the game".
"The victory also strengthens, there are players who enjoy the game a lot and it was noticeable in the first half and that is the most important thing.
"Obviously winning is the most important thing and we all want to do it, that's why we work to achieve it from a clear form and objective."
"Cisneros was coming off a recovery and we understood that it was a match in which we had to attack that area with depth."
"Guzmán shows me in every training session that he wants to play and that for me is the most valuable thing. That they show that intensity in practice, in fact I recently congratulated him on how he has been working."
"Normally in soccer there will always be injuries due to the accumulation of games. Cowell had the opportunity to travel with his national team and then he came here to work, we will try to get him back as soon as possible".
