The keys to the Rebaño's success in Puebla
Something that Guadalajara had been lacking in the Apertura 2023 was short associations, however, in the match against Atlas, the Rebaño managed to rediscover this virtue. Fernando Beltrán must continue to take control of the Red-and-White team possessions, while Roberto Alvarado and Ricardo Marín, with their mobility, can create passing lanes for the team to progress in the opponent's field.
Víctor Guzmán was very valuable in long throws and sending advantage balls into the box, so replicating his performance against Atlas would mean a lot for the Rebaño Sagrado.
