Puebla defeated Chivas at the Cuauhtémoc Stadium with a goal from Gustavo Ferraréis, which ended the 'rojiblanco' team's winning streak. The captain of 'Rebaño', Víctor Guzmán, acknowledged that they played very well, although they did not win, but they hope to make up for the defeat with Club América, Chivas' next rival in the so-called Clásico Nacional.
“We are aware of how well we are, it was noted today. We were superior in all areas of the field. There are times when you play badly and win. Even this tournament I feel like it happened to us: we didn't play that well and we won the games. We were far superior. They had 1 shot on goal, that's how football is”, commented Víctor Guzmán.
El 'Pocho' Guzmán issued a warning to America prior to the National Classic. “We had, we did not put it in. We will continue working. Now we are not with who did it to us, but who is going to pay us for it”, added the Chivas captain, who believes that the defeat against Puebla will be the perfect motivation to receive the Azulcremas at Akron and seek victory.
Regarding the team's performance, Víctor Guzmán said that they would be ready to face América. "The operation we are having leaves us calm, it is only adjusting and putting in the opportunities we have to be able to carry out the games," said the Chivas midfielder.
Does Alexis Vega return to the starting role for the National Classic?
According to the Chivas coach, Veljko Paunovic, the Mexican striker Alexis Vega is already recovered and it will be important for him to be there for the most important game. Chivas could also recover Isaac Brizuela for the match against the 'Azulcremas' at the Akron stadium.
