Cancun, Quintana Roo - The pace and demands continue to increase in Guadalajara's preseason for the second half of 2024, which will bring with it the Apertura 2024 and the Leagues Cup, tournaments for which several players from La Cantera Rojiblanca want to raise their hands and earn a chance in Fernando Gago's squad.
For these days of preparation in the Mexican Caribbean, El Rebaño's coach and his technical staff considered several elements from the youth academy to be part of this work. It is worth mentioning that there are several who are attending for the first time and others who have already been part of previous preseasons, but who continue with their process of establishing themselves with the First Team.
