Gabriel Milito’s Quotes:

* “I think the team played more than an acceptable match. We could have opened the scoring earlier and perhaps finished the game in a different way, but that’s how football is sometimes. I feel we played well. We overcame the opponent and their defensive approach; we kept attacking until the very end.” * “Our determination to win from the opening whistle and having been more clinical could have changed the outcome. Everything is important for us at this club, and we know the expectation is to win. That’s what we prepare for. Hopefully, when the time comes, we’ll be able to display our best football and our best version.” * “You always have to try, and if we have to go down fighting, we’ll do it. We’ve been protagonists in both tournaments. We reached a Semifinal, but in football nothing is ever guaranteed.” * “We expect to score plenty of goals, and we have to do more to make that happen. I would have preferred to score more today, but the team kept trying. When this team creates chance after chance, we have players with the quality to make the difference.” * “I’m very happy and very satisfied with this squad. It’s the group I wanted a year ago, and I think we’ve managed to build it.”

On Leagues Cup

* “We’ll give it our best. In every competition we play, we have to keep fueling the excitement and hope of our fans.”

On Jordan Carrillo and Kevin Castañeda

* “Everyone within the team’s structure has a specific role. No one plays their own game; the team plays one game together. Every player has freedom, but also responsibilities.” * “Jordan has done well. He and Kevin Castañeda will continue to improve. The players returning from the National Team also need to reconnect with the group after the mental demands of a World Cup.” * “We know Jordan has tremendous potential, and I hope that, with time, everyone will fully understand their role.”

On Omar Govea

* “Omar Govea underwent medical examinations and was diagnosed with a minor injury. We’ll see whether he’s available for the match against Puebla depending on his recovery. We want to have the entire squad available.”
