The win against Santos Laguna in the Sky Cup left Veljko Paunovic with a pleasant feeling concerning Chivas' progress in their preparation for the Clausura 2023.
High intensity pressure on the opponent, speed to play and move, and the team's intensity, but another of the important topics was Santiago Ormeño, who scored a hat-trick and the Rebaño's DT dedicated a message to him at the end of the match.
Pauno's words post Santos Laguna:
"From the first day everyone assimilated the work and our proposal, there are things that are not negotiable in our team such as work, order, organization and mentality."
"The team was fantastic with and without the ball, it's a great progress to see the team play this way but we haven't achieved anything, we will continue working with humility."
"The people who came in off the bench showed a lot of hunger."
"From the moment we saw Zahid we found him to be a very talented kid, he treats the ball with finesse and is eager to learn."
"We're not going to rush with any of them, I have a record of using young players, but we're not going to rush with anyone."
"Ormeño is a good example of someone who works and waits for his opportunity, so that when it comes he is ready. He has focused on proving that he is ready to be part of a team like Chivas."
"It doesn't end here for Ormeño, he has to give his best every game."
