Guadalajara earned one point against Pachuca, but for Gabriel Milito, the result also highlighted some areas that Chivas will need to work on moving forward.
Speaking at the press conference following tonight’s match, the rojiblanco head coach was self-critical of his team’s performance, acknowledged that the first half was better than the second and pointed out that the team needed greater control of the ball in order to manage the game. The Argentine coach also stressed that the team needs to find greater consistency and make better use of the favorable moments that arise during matches.
Gabriel Milito’s best quotes
I feel that the first half was better than the second. We had chances to make it 2-0. We struggled to have much more control of the ball. I feel that we need to be more consistent, and I think we can do better. We have to do better.” More than the points, which of course are important, the feeling from today’s draw and the feeling from the draw against Puebla are different. Puebla, we deserved to win, and today, when everything was in our favor, we needed to have that calmness to do things better, as we eventually do.”The opponent, with their changes, brought a lot of energy. We also have to give credit to the opposing team, who at times neutralized our circulation. The spaces were there, and we should have had better ball circulation to avoid so many turnovers and create attacks.”We did better in the second half. If we had had that complete agility, we would have had control of the game, but that wasn’t the case. We lost a lot of balls.” We take it game by game. For us, it is very important to win and earn the three points. We couldn’t do it, and we will approach the next game with the same commitment as always: to win and earn the three points. I understand that there are opponents who offer resistance, and we are not going to win simply because we are Chivas, but because of how capable we are of doing it.”On Luis Romo
Romo seems to me to be a fundamental player on this team, not only to defend in large spaces, but also to have clear build-up play. We decided to play Romo, who, in addition to having a good defensive outlet, is capable of moving forward and creating attacks. He did a phenomenal job against Seattle, and I am satisfied with Luis’ performance in that position.”On Kevin Castañeda and Jordan Carrillo
It takes time to adapt. It takes time to get to know and understand the training sessions, and above all, that’s what I see. The quality is there, but sometimes the moments or timing when a player arrives take time.” That’s why many times we choose to start with players who have been with us longer, while they are in a period of adaptation and understanding what we are looking for from them.”
