The first tournament of Renato Paiva in Mexican soccer did not have the expected results, after the León was eliminated against Blue Cross this Saturday in the playoffs. The Portuguese was self-critical and acknowledged that the team was not at the level he would like, but he also pointed out how difficult it was to work in such a short time.
“We are far from the level I want. The tournament was very fast, just four months, without time to train. We did what was humanly possible, the irregularity was seen,” the Fiera strategist accepted at a press conference at the Aztec stadium after the loss to Cruz Azul.
Paiva emphasized that they had good moments that allowed them to reach the playoffs, but not enough to be at the desired level. However, she expressed the confidence that with rest and work, for the Closure 2023 have better results and demonstrate good work.
“We are very far from how I think and see football; see how Independiente played, benfica“, and added that he did not reach the MX League to receive a good appraisal as a strategist. “In the first year I was champion with Ecuardo. So I need to come to this fantastic country to qualify as a good or bad coach.”
Regarding the match against the Machine, he regretted that the result was not better, since Lion competed against the cement workers, who could barely win thanks to the goal of Ignatius Rivero. “We have played a competent game, it comes to check an improvement at a collective level”.

“We had more offensive volume and the game was decided in details”, and finally he considered that the playoff should not be played in the MX League. “In my opinion it’s unnecessary, for me the first 8 should qualify and that’s it, the playoff is superfluous in the Mexican championship, but I respect it,” she said.
