There will be an intense clash at the Akron Stadium this Saturday night, as Chivas and Pumas will face each other on Matchday 15 of the Apertura 2024 with a special touch: both teams are looking for a direct place in the Liguilla.
Guadalajara's demands are high, as Rubén 'Oso' González acknowledged at a press conference, in addition to pointing out that the team's remaining matches will be played at the highest possible level.
Rubén González's words to the media.
"There are 3 matches, 3 finals that we have in order to qualify directly to the Liguilla. We have the best disposition, the intelligence on how to handle it. We are ready to achieve this.
"Personally, I expect the best opponent every match; I think that is the best way to look at it because it helps us to prepare ourselves in the best way. We can climb positions and that would help us a lot."
"Against Puebla we looked for it, we didn't get it, but we were ready. We are ready to fight for every ball and give the best of ourselves.
"We are always looking to be in the top places. It's our turn to be in this situation and we have to go forward for these three games we have left."
"We all push ourselves day by day, I want to emphasize that. Each one of us has supported each other to move forward".
"We have to be ready to move forward with this coaching staff, and it will be the same with whoever it is his turn to be".
"Javier has given us words of support, he has his role and has helped us in that part".
"Those of us who are here and have to represent the Club are still here, we have to get the job done".
"The statistics are there, but every match is different. Pumas will come in their best version and we have the mentality to face the match in a good way. The support of the ChivaHermanos also helps us a great deal."
"The presence of Javier (Hernandez) is very important. We know the trajectory he has, it is a dream that, after all the trajectory he has had, that he is with us. Chivas is his home and we are here to help him as well."
