Víctor Guzmán is recovering his best version. After being practically erased by Veljko Paunovic in the last tournament, Fernando Gago has given him confidence for the Clausura 2024 of Liga MX and 'Pocho' is responding on the field of play.
Guzmán showed himself at a high level in the matchday 5 match against Atlético de San Luis and scored a double. The red and white team won by a score of 0-2, with two penalties.
The 29-year-old midfielder has played a total of 385 minutes in five matchdays, while in the Apertura 2023, he only played 856 minutes and gave one assist.
Fernando Gago did not miss the opportunity to praise the work that 'Pocho' Guzmán has done.
“Personally, for him it will be very good. Obviously it is nice to convert, but I am very satisfied with his dedication in each training session, with his way of coexisting within the locker room, he gives us a lot on the field. He is a player who “We need him and as we need everyone. He had to convert and he should be happy.”
– Fernando Gago
