The Serbian coach Veljko Paunovic He remains undefeated at the helm of the locals, valuing those who came off the bench to be able to get the victory, taking advantage of the extra man after the expulsion of the Canadian Lucas Cavallini.
“We have a team with great football and human quality, competitive, they always want to play. There is a good connection that continues to grow, unity and simple and clear things. How to get there, defend, the team repeats what it has been doing since day one. We are finding ourselves. I am leaving with the idea that the team had maturity and the ability of the people who came off the bench to win the game. Breaking down a tough rival, who made it difficult, they stood up and were tough until the expulsion. The insistence, the patience, which sometimes is difficult for the team, but today we achieved it. We had maturity until the last minute to continue looking for the wings to generate opportunities like the goal.”said.
“Knowing the next opponent, I never faced Miami, but we were able to follow them and see. An advantage or something in favor is that my assistant Claudius Arsenowho worked in Miami with Diego Alonso. It is a point of information for some things, but the team has also changed. We have to focus on the present, but on what we do.”The Magician concluded.

After the triumph in his debut, the Argentine coach Gerardo Martino He analyzed the match and was blunt when asked how he faces this tournament, taking into account that the pink team defends the title, but also has a clear obligation in the MLSwhere he leads the Eastern Conference.
“I think we have the obligation to fight for both tournaments, but not because we won this tournament last year, but because the two tournaments are not played at the same time. So there is no reason not to aspire to play this tournament to the end. Then we will see what it brings us. The reality is that if it is not a tournament that is played at the same time, where one has to choose, I see no reason why we should not try.”said El Tata.
“We clearly have a different view of this tournament than we had a year ago. A year ago we were at the bottom of the league and today we are in first place, but we don’t see any reason to be cautious today, because we played a week ago and we pla
y again in a week. We’ll see how we move in a tournament that is very demanding and very tiring.”he concluded.
