In just a few months, Veljko Paunovic has been able to get a feel for what the rivalry between Chivas and Zorros is all about, he has faced the city's neighbor on a couple of occasions and the results have been good, both in terms of soccer and results.
The first duel took place in the preseason during the SKY Cup and the Serbian DT left the field of the Jalisco Stadium with a win by the minimum difference, in a match in which his team showed its physical potential by overwhelming the red-and-black team for several periods of the match, in addition to effectively exerting high pressure during the first minutes of the game, thus maintaining a feeling of permanent danger on the opponent's goal.
The second match took place on the 13th day of the Clausura 2023, also at the Coloso de la Calzada Independencia, and left a bittersweet taste in the DT's mouth, since after being up on the scoreboard on a couple of occasions, he was unable to crystallize the advantage and the score was tied at 3-3. Beyond the tie, Guadalajara showed progress in the process of perfecting the style of play that Veljko is seeking, which is characterized by pressure and the use of the inside players, generating multiple goal options and, above all, a strong attacking style.
