Due to the intensity he asks for from the team in training and the attention he has down to the smallest detail in their preparation, Miguel Jiménez expressed his confidence and conviction in the work they’ve done every day as they advance in the process of assimilation-execution of Veljko Paunovic's idea of the game, in addition to assuring that El Rebaño's DT makes the group feel sheltered and supported at all times.
In addition, El Rebaño Sagrado goalkeeper shared his feelings about the start of the tournament for Chivas and what is to come for the remainder of the tournament.
Miguel Jiménez's quotes from the press conference
"It's a bittersweet feeling, we dominated the first half we had options to go up on the scoreboard, but the rival also knew how to take advantage of the distraction we had when marking."
"We have to work on being a little bit more lethal to be able to define the matches, I think that will be very important in the rest of the tournament."
"The last 2 games we should have been able to come back with more points, we are aware that we have to pay attention to details, but the team is committed, the demand is at the maximum and starting from that, I see that the team is united".
"It is true that we are in a process of adopting 'Pauno's' idea, but the demand here at Chivas is every day, match by match and that is why we try to assimilate his idea as best as possible, he is someone who is very prepared, demanding, he takes care of all the details."
"'Pauno' and his coaching staff are very attentive to the details, they approach the player and tell you in short, they believe in you and your abilities, and that is very important, he makes you feel supported."
"The idea of 'Pauno' is to press the opponent in their own field, we all like that because it forces them back and it helps us to be able to constantly make the 2 against 1 and to be able to be on top of the opponent's goal, obviously the opponent counts and that's where we have to be well focused."
"I feel comfortable with all my teammates, whoever you put in knows what they have to do, nobody has their place assured and whoever is there has to perform in the best way."
"I was criticized when I didn't play, now that I play I know that the criticism will be at the bottom of the barrel, in life there will always be mistakes and under the goalposts they are more noticeable".
"I have had to work for everything in my life and the pressure in Chivas will always be there, the demand is 100 percent and at the end of the day I am focused on doing my job, criticism will always be well received."
"I am 100% focused on Chivas, I know that doing my job well here can open doors in the National Team, but right now I am only thinking about today, the most important thing for me is Chivas".
