Although Toluca presented us with a great game, with its people, we knew how to handle it and manage the times and the result was rescued. The support I have from my teammates, from the technicians, coaches, that has helped me. Besides, being open to the advice they give me is what has helped me, remaining humble and continuing to work day by day”said El Tala, who was even summoned to the Mexican team for the America Cup.
On the other hand, the Argentine technical director Fernando Gago he blurted out: “The feeling of happiness. We are where we want to be. In the semifinals that was the goal.

We suffered and nothing happens because they attacked us or we had numerical superiority and we couldn’t have the rhythm of the game, but happy for the classification. Talking about the result is easy, but now the objective is to face our opponent, advance to the next round and play in the final.”.
