What Chivas did against León last week will be of little use if the team does not show consistency in its last two matches on the calendar, which are also at home, which is why Veljko Paunovic knows how important it is to beat Cruz Azul this Saturday at the Akron Stadium, in order to continue raising the level of soccer ahead of the Liguilla and for El Rebaño to secure a direct pass to the Quarter-Finals.
Veljko Paunovic's quotes:
"The big games are thanks to the good work we do in the week."
"Cruz Azul will be a tough opponent, we will need to play a good match and achieve 90 minutes of togetherness with our fans."
"Let's let the points come as a result of the work and determination this group has".
"We will not get ahead of ourselves, we are going step by step in the last 2 games of the championship".
"April continues to be a month of confirmation, we are motivated by the opportunity we have to enter the Liguilla directly".
"We need 90 minutes of union with our fans".
"I am happy because Chivas is always a candidate to beat anyone. For me, all the teams in this league are competitive, every match is difficult to win."
"We always play to win, we are capable of competing against any team."
"To achieve great things you have to go day by day, with a clear mission".
"We must be up to any kind of scenario that comes our way".
"Víctor Guzmán plays many roles, the match against Necaxa he alternated his position with Roberto Alvarado".
"Guzmán adds value to the game plan that we are looking to execute."
"We are waiting for the data of the selected players, they are scheduled today in the afternoon for some tests and training".
"At the start of the tournament we all dreamed of this situation, it is in our hands to advance directly to the Liguilla and we are going against an extraordinary opponent and a great coach."
"Tapatio is a great platform to develop players, as we have players like Zahid play a position very similar to what we do in our system (false 9)."
"We don't impose any system, what we do look for is the development of certain roles in certain players."
