Chivas de Guadalajara has had an unexpected performance in the preseason. The Sacred Flock got their pass to the final of the Sky Cup, which they will play against Cruz Azul, and only lost one duel in their preparation, against Athletic Bilbao. Until now, it seems that the restructuring of the team at the managerial level has injected new blood into the rojiblanco team.
The arrival of Fernando Hierro as sports director and that of Veljko Paunovic as coach have changed the face of Chivas in record time. To this we must add that the board managed to hire Víctor Guzmán and Daniel Ríos. The ‘Pocho’ had been a desire of Guadalajara for several tournaments, but for some reason or another, his return had been impossible.
For his part, Daniel Ríos, trained in the Rebaño youth academy, will return to fight for a place in the Serbian coach’s starting eleven. The Mexican striker has been in the MLS for the past few years and returns to Perla Tapatia to show his worth in the team that saw him born as a professional.
Paunovic was recently questioned about whether there will be more signings for the Clausura 2023 of Liga MX. The new Chivas de Guadalajara coach left open the possibility of another player arriving, although he assured that the priority is to give opportunities to elements from his basic forces.
“A squad is a living being, it always regenerates, things happen, some of them undesirable and unpleasant, such as injuries. You have to feed on your basic forces and at the same time, while the market is open, you must be ready and alert, in case anything happens. we’re ready. We’re not closing the squad and not so soon right now, but we’re going to be vigilant, always looking to improve what we have.”

One of the players who has sounded loudest to reach the Sacred Flock is Víctor Guzmán, a young defender for Xolos de Tijuana. So far the operation has not materialized, but it could be one of the elements that reach the rojiblanco team in this transfer market.
