“We have that desire to be able to play against America; we want to turn that page, more than anything because we still have that thorn. In soccer there are always rematches and what better than the one who did it to us. I would love to face America and change the face of what was the last game”
– Rodrigo Huesca.
“I see this Cruz Azul for champion, we are going stage by stage, because if we think further we are lost. I do see this Cruz Azul for champion, we close with all the spark and we will be a very difficult team to win in Liguilla , that nobody wants to face. If we are not champions, we will fail in the tournament,” he assured Huesca at a press conference.
On the other hand, the sky-blue youth player mentioned that it would be satisfactory if Gutierrez remained on the bench permanently, because at the moment he is still an interim coach.
“Sure, why not continue with the teacher if he has given positive results? It is not easy to rescue a team that was lost, that was in penultimate place; The teacher arrived with the best disposition, he put us to work and we finished in seventh place. El Profe is the pillar of the team, he is the key piece to move on to the next phase”, he concluded.
