Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.- After getting his second win in the Clausura 2023 Tournament, Veljko Paunovic highlighted that the result is very valuable, as it allows El Rebaño to strengthen the confidence in the daily work, but without leaving aside that there are aspects to improve in order to have match procedures without physical wear and tear like the one in the second half of the game against Bravos.
Quotes from Veljko Paunovic's press conference:
"The victory is an important step for our team, we are in an accelerated process and victories like today's, especially performances like in the first half, help a lot to forge the spirit of the group, the confidence, the work to keep going all the way through to the opponent's box, so for us it is very important and is what counts".
"Honestly, I'm very proud of all the work and the group's commitment, we struggled during the second half, sometimes we sin of innocence, like at the end of this match, when we have the opportunity to keep the ball, to go out into the opponent's half without rushing, it's something we have to work on".
"The work process has not stopped, with this it continues to be carried out and as for the change of scheme at the end, they also changed their formation and sent in 2 strikers, they were hurting us a lot with the orientation change".
"With our line of 4 the center backs didn't get to cover, the wingers had already tired, they couldn't help them, so it was appropriate to put 5 back and release those same defenders to confront long before they reach our box with crosses, so this helped us, we felt comfortable, we even had another chance up front".
"We were affected a lot by the deffensive wear and tear in the first 30, maybe 35 minutes of the second half. We have to recognize the opponent made it a very difficult match, it is very hard to play here, therefore, the 3 points today have more value".
"We have already said that we have a large squad, we have depth, we have players who can double positions, which are very important things for a team and even more so for a team that has a lot of young people".
"The people we have brought in, Ríos and 'Pocho' Guzmán, they bring us, I am sure they will give us much more, it is the theme of the process, I think a squad is a dynamic thing, we have to be attentive, we have a lot to play for, for this season we are going to have many challenges and the team has to be strong".
"I am delighted here, I see that there are committed people, whoever I ask for help or to contribute something to me is always with a fantastic predisposition, that is necessary for everyone to go in the same direction and this is something I value very much, we are going to give our best step by step, day by day, game by game".
"Each match is a different challenge, not only do we have to act on the proposals and challenges given by the opponent but also injuries, when we were ready to make a substitution Carlos Cisneros' injury occurred, this is a live thing, I sincerely believe that we have the capacity to react quickly, to adapt and to impose ourselves".
