Gerardo Espinoza's words after Chivas vs. América

"It's not just about keeping 0 at the back, the opponent also plays well and organizes themselves in the final third. We lacked precision in our passes and that complicated some things."

"I visualize many things, at the end of the match I spoke to all the players and they gave me their impressions. Tomorrow we will look for those who played a lot to recover quickly, the substitutes will have a much more demanding practice."

"In the first half we were accelerated with the ball and made bad decisions. We will make progress in these situations, we must be patient because this is not done overnight, it is a process and it takes time".

"We need to keep growing and what better than to do it by keeping a zero and winning a game like this."

"I wasn't here in the past matches, I just focused on the boys and that they could give their best version. I want us all to be one, for there to be order and also intensity."

"Today the team played with hunger, since yesterday I noticed their positive attitude and today it showed. We are just getting started.
