Chivahermanos quizzed Fernando Hierro and this is what he had to answer.

This Wednesday, the new Sporting Director for Club Guadalajara had his first meeting with the Chivahermanos, 50 fans were present at Verde Valle to visit with Fernando Hierro, as part of the perks that come with having your Chivabono, having your Chivas Femenil NFT or by being a Chivas TV subscriber.

But hey! What was said, what was asked? Well, here are the best quotes from Hierro's chat with the fans, you can watch the whole event tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. on NotiChivas, which is broadcast on the Rebaño Sagrado's Facebook account and Youtube channel.

By the way, Fernando did not miss the opportunity to tell the fans that from now on he is one more Chivahermano, which caused those present to smile and applaud at his comment.

When questioned about what the teams seal and identity will be:

"The seal is given to you by this great institution, but we will seek to be a team that plays attractive football and which is competitive."
"Chivas has its own identity, it is a team with a lot of potential on and off the field."
This is what he thinks of the challenge that Chivas represents:
"Everyone knows the greatness of this team, for me, it is a challenge that is worth it."
"Chivas is the closest thing to a national team and playing with all Mexican players is a beautiful challenge".

What he said about the direction of the project he is starting:

"First of all we must all understand where we are and where we want to get to."
"We know what the club is like and its day to day."
"We have to be realistic, we have a plan that we must follow, but we will not give up any trophy that comes our way."
"We will try to do the best job we can to fight for the league and every game we have."
"My motto is to grow as an institution, as a club and in the academy, the intention is for all of us to be better."
"We must all go to the stadium to give our 100 percent, both players, board and fans."

He also spoke about the Cantera Rojiblanca:

"Without the growth of the youth academy and its coaches who help in the development of players, it will be impossible to grow in everything else."
"If there is any talent that can fly to Europe we will help them, that benefits us all."
"Our job is to properly prepare the youngsters so that in 3 years we see more players from the youth academy in the first team."

Fernando Hierro was also blunt when asked about the profile that a Chivas player should have:

"The footballer has to be as professional as possible, he must be a soccer player 24 hours a day."
"The players are the first to suffer a bad result, when you play at home and with your people you must show personality."
"It is statistically backed up that the team that loses is the one that runs the most, that is why the result does not speak of lack of effort."
"To play for this club you need personality, talent and pride".
"I want the players to improve every 6".
"The only way to grow is the individual improvement of each of the pieces".

To close with the proceedings, a little chivahermanito named Yazid, asked our Sporting Director in which players he had been inspired by when he started his career:

"I come from a soccer family, my first idols were my brothers, I always went to the stadium to watch them play and there was no time of the day when we were not together".
"I really liked Baressi and Beckenbauer."
