Jesús Angulo is hoping that the Chivas contingent involved in Mexico’s pre-Olympic qualifying can replicate that success back at club level.
Angulo was one of six of the Flock in El Tri U-23 manager Jaime Lozano’s squad that has qualified for this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The sextet return to Guadalajara to find Los Rojiblancos sitting outside the top 12 Liguilla places in the Guard1anes 2021 table.
Víctor Manuel Vucetich’s men have just six games to rescue their play-off hopes, starting with Sunday’s encounter against third-placed Santos Laguna.
“Each player always tries to give his best in each game, sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t,” Angulo told a pre-match press conference.
“Things were given to all of us in the national team and now we have to spread that attitude of having been pre-Olympic champions in Chivas to that here we also lift the boat and be on the same line.”
The left-winger has featured in all 11 league games to date, starting in eight of them, with one goal and one assist to his credit.
