The team went for the game and deserved to win - Manuel Ruano | OneFootball

Last night at the Estadio Nemesio Diez, Guadalajara deserved to win against Toluca on Matchday 7 of the Clausura 2025. However, specific situations, such as a goal disallowed for an alleged offside, prevented them from returning home with at least a point.

This was the analysis of Manel Ruano, Chivas' Technical Assistant, who endorsed the team's improvement in the second half, where he assured that they will seek to replicate this team play the following week against Pachuca.

Manel Ruano's words at the press conference

"We found ourselves comfortable with the line of 3 central defenders. We thought it was the most appropriate system tactically because of Toluca's inside game. We know they have great players with important individuality, as they have shown".

"We are very happy with the players we have, they are the ones who will represent us until the end of the tournament."

"In the second half we deserved to win. We have to keep working with that image, which will help us in both home and away matches."

"We don't leave satisfied. You're in the dugout and you see that the team is going for the match, has taken a step forward, has come back and deserved to win".

"The image of the second half is the one we want to give: a team that presses up front, that is brave and has more of the ball".

"About the refereeing, what we don't control, we can't do anything about it. The lines that are thrown at Chivas we can't assess how straight they are or not. It's not the first time this has happened to us this season."
