The progress that Guadalajara has shown under the command of Víctor Manuel Vucetich, both in footing and results, is not pure chance, but the product of hard day-to-day work in order to assimilate the game idea of the so-called 'King Midas' of Mexican soccer. Chivas wants to have total control of their destiny as they fight for a spot in the playoffs of Guard1anes 2020.
"Team spirit and composure to make the best on-field decisions" are paramount to the experienced coach during each training session and this has allowed 'El Chiverío' to display the game level and the performance that Chivas players are capable of.
A clear example of this was the third goal that Chivas scored in el Clásico Tapatío last Saturday at Estadio Akron, a true 'definition' of team play: 13 unbroken passes between 7 different players (Hiram Mier, Eduardo López, José Juan Vázquez, Isaac Brizuela, Fernando Beltrán, Ángel Zaldívar and Dieter Villalpando).
And that's not all, the Rojiblanco squad is within the Top 4 in several stats of Guard1anes 2020, which clearly reflects the progress of the all-Mexican team under the command of Víctor Manuel Vucetich.
