This Monday marked the start of a very special week for Guadalajara. Another edition of the Clásico Tapatío is coming up in the Liguilla of Mexican soccer and for this reason, Veljko Paunovic shared the excitement of being able to experience his first Liga mx final phase in an unbeatable setting, that of the oldest rivalry in our football.
The words of Veljko Paunovic's press conference:
"This stage of the season is different, there are no favorites and there are many emotions involved."
"Everything we have done so far is no longer valid, we are carrying out a specific preparation."
"Before knowing the opponent we prepared very hard, today that we already know the opponent our preparation is focused on the type of team we will face."
"We are focused on reaching our best version for Thursday's game at 7 p.m.".
"We earned the time off for our good season, the atmosphere is sensational and everyone is focused on our next opponent."
"We'll forget everything we've done so far, because we haven't won anything."
"We will continue to pursue the dream we started this tournament with."
"I had the opportunity to talk to 3 people who won in Liguilla, I will not reveal the names but you can imagine who they are."
"We have to go into the games with urgency but without going crazy, from day one we have tried to turn pressure into motivation."
"I am sure that the team will assimilate all the tactical proposals correctly."
"Not conceding a goal in the first leg is fundamental, we must be good managers of our emotions in moments of anxiety or pressure".
"Nothing will play against us, as we take advantage of the time to remember game fundamentals and put each player in optimal physical condition to compete".
"The last game we played in the Jalisco was something very similar to what we saw in the Playoff. Results change very quickly and are usually very emotional."
"We played a great match against Atlas without Víctor Guzmán, we are sure that with his incorporation he will bring a lot to us."
"That day we lacked experience to avoid the opponent's response, that's why I feel that 'Pocho' can help us".
"The first match is very important, we have to focus it well so that everyone remains emotionally stable."
"We don't know the word pressure because we turn it into motivation, our dream is to be champion with Chivas and return this institution to the place where it should be."
"Both teams have grown since the regular season Clasico Tapatio, there will be some similarities but the outlook is different."
