“A match that we expected to be closer, tougher, balanced in chances. What we planned we did. It’s going to search. The tying goal was very important. In the second half, balanced, but we had the clearest chances. We generated the game plan well, very solid. We were always a little closer to victory. Playing in people with more of our people, there we will have an advantage of being at home”said the helmsman André Jardine.

“Tactically it was the game we imagined. I think identical to how we imagined him, in how he was going to attack and defend. Except for some actions where the rival has hierarchy, we then control the game with the ball. It’s difficult when the opponent defends the goal well and I think we tried. Now there is one more game left and there, on their court, it is going to be different. I have to review the match, see if there are any details to correct, change some nuances to surprise the opponent. I don’t see that we lacked patience, on the contrary, we circulated well, we were super aggressive when we lost the ball. The atmosphere that was experienced was like a final and I enjoyed it”exclaimed the helmsman Martin Anselmi.

“The important thing is to rescue the value of the team to achieve this result. We let go of many options, we do not specify them. The team held up well, they came to get the result and we hope at Azteca to do better… For every player it is important to score, especially in a final, to thank God, my family… We have to analyze this match, rest very well Well, on Sunday there is a big battle. On Sunday we need them (fans) to paint it yellow and we are going to do it.”he indicated Julian Quiñones in interview with TUDN.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I think that in general terms we were superior to the rival. They came to defend themselves and come out against it. We played a good game and we hope to close it in the best way on Sunday. The game was even, we were superior because we contained the ball. Sometimes you end up in a bad position because you risk attacking people. We leave with a bitter taste, we wanted to give people joy”were the words of the defender Gonzalo Piovi.

“The best scenario is set for a two-time championship, we have everything in place, on a silver platter to make history. People know it (which is vital), they did it last game, we hope for at least that so that we can make them feel how Azteca weighs, especially a final and a two-time championship that we are dreaming of doing together with the people… There were times when the The team shone, as it is, we had flashes of good play. We had clear plays, we were able to leave calmer to close the game at home”shared Israel Kings.

“I think the game hit very quickly, we had a very good first few minutes and at our best moment they scored the goal and everything became even. The first half we dominated a little more, in the second half they had less possession, but they were clearer. It was a fair draw and it leaves everything open.”were the statements of Carlos Rotondi.
