Querétaro - Chivas is living its last day of the preseason in Querétaro, so Veljko Paunovic spoke at a press conference about many topics of interest to the Rojiblanca Nation.
Among the topics he addressed during his appearance before the local and national media, the DT explained:
- How does he feel after the Final?
- What did he learn from his first tournament?
- Will there be reinforcements?
- How does he see the team?
- What are the expectations for AP23?
- The young players
- The Leagues Cup
Here are the words of Veljko Paunovic:
"Preseasons serve to work hard with the whole group, remember the basic principles and get physically strong."
"The group isn’t well prepared, we are reaching the best numbers just before the start of the championship."
"There is a great atmosphere of confidence and commitment in the squad".
"There is no one out of form, I am very happy with what we are achieving in this preseason."
"Absences affect, but we can't complain, as these are realities that other teams are also experiencing."
"Within the group there are people who are hungry and are looking for their chance."
"After the Final I have tortured myself every day, from my analysis and evaluations. I feel responsible for the defeat against Tigres".
"In the second half I didn't give the team solutions to combat the opponent's changes, it's still hard to assimilate but I use the defeat to learn".
"We will play in a Final again and I will not let those mistakes be repeated".
"I am shocked by the images of that May 28, I want to immediately recover the illusion in the fans".
"I am convinced that this tournament will be a continuation of what we did in the previous one."
"Everyone has an open door and will receive their opportunities".
"There are many teams that have lost Finals and next tournament they come back stronger. Pocho' Guzmán himself experienced this with Pachuca".
"There are samples of teams that turn pain into motivation, we always want to live up to expectations".
"We will continue to give our best to fight for the highest places".
"Vega is undergoing the last tests to know how long we have to wait for him to recover".
"The players who are in the national team are a source of pride for us".
"Yael Padilla is preparing to receive her first opportunity."
"Brigido and Raul Martinez have shown us their great soccer skills."
"Whalley and Marín are players who can help us, their place will depend on the work we will do together. They can fight for their place, from that we will see what place they reach".
"Out of respect for the teams I don't like to talk about own names, we must reinforce some areas and we are working".
"I want fast wingers who can win individual duels, we will try to strengthen the people we have at home and explore the possibility of reinforcing ourselves."
"Our main focus is to improve the players we have, we cannot give any preview of which players will be chosen to reinforce us."
"All of us who will play the Leagues Cup must take it seriously. MLS teams have grown a lot, I know the opponents and they have had a great development."
"We played Cincinnati, which is at the top of the league, and there is no doubt that they will be intense matches".
"It is important to accentuate the rivalry between the two leagues (Liga MX and MLS)".
"My recommendation is to keep the team, rearm with the people who come from the basics and look to improve the squad with some reinforcements".
"I don't want anyone to be confident, we haven't achieved anything."
