Veljko Paunovic is very clear. Chivas has to put on a good show for the Rojiblanca Nation this Saturday at the Akron and win against their fierce city rivals in the Clasico Tapatio, in order to break the negative inertia of the last few weeks and lay the foundations to start a rebound and make peace with the fans.
Veljko Paunovic's words before the Clásico Tapatío:
"There are moments where you don't have to talk, you have to show the commitment that exists."
"We are going through a complicated moment and based on humility and focus, we are working to recover the connection and trust with the fans".
"In situations like these, you can't ask more from the fans, they want a reaction and nothing more, I understand them".
"The fans have the power to boo us and demand us, but believe me this team needs a hug today more than ever."
"I hope that on Saturday we will be better than ever and generate that forgiveness."
"We have a clear structure, responsibility is shared, but for specific things, everyone must assume the consequences".
"I communicate my expectations clearly, I repeat them and I keep them written in visible places".
"If someone does not want to listen or obey the rules that are for the good of all, they must assume the consequences."
"Imagine what Jose Juan Macias would give if he could play this game, we need to play with that hunger."
"We want to recover our identity and give joy to our people."
"The group is recovering, I have had conversations with the entire squad to collect the important points and the team shows itself with a good face".
"We are looking for the team to show that hunger and recover its best version."
"Last season's great season made us become a team that everyone wants to beat us."
"In the quest to refresh the team, we have fallen into a streak of bad results."
"I like to analyze the team's results from a peculiar perspective. We lack forcefulness and to materialize one of the many arrivals that the team generates, we need to adapt to the changes shown by the rivals".
