Slowly but surely, Guadalajara has regained its footballing memory and in its Matchday 13 duel against Puebla managed to show many of the things that led it to reach its best collective version at the beginning of the tournament, a fact that backs up Pauno's statement that El Rebaño's resurgence is serious.
How did Chivas take the field?
To start the match, El Rebaño used a 4-3-3 formation, which in the second half and after Veljko's adjustments became a 4-2-3-1, which gave them much more control over the actions to be able to calmly close the match and keep the result.
The keys to the win:
- Ricardo Marín's performance continues on the rise and despite not scoring a goal in this match, he did chalk up one more assist on Ronaldo Cisneros' goal, another attacker who has plugged in and when he complemented Marín in attack made El Rebaño's offensive machine look very dangerous.
- The good moment that the Red and White midfield is experiencing. Rubén González offered another notable individual performance and even protected the flankers' runs; when 'Piojo' Alvarado and 'Nene' Beltrán were left as interiors, the team managed the actions of the match at ease by resuming the inside game and stopped losing balls, which allowed Chivas to circulate the ball calmly.
- Erick Gutiérrez reappeared after the injury that kept him out for 3 seasons and did a good job, as he added a lot of aggressiveness to the team's recovery by positioning himself as a double pivot with 'Oso', which allowed them to begin to better manage the tempo of the match.
- Veljko Paunovic's on-the-fly adjustments were extremely wise, as the players who came from the bench did an exceptional job and several of the starters are still at a great individual level.
