Luis Ángel Malagón admits he’s not been at his best | OneFootball

Club América returns to action in the Concacaf Champions Cup with a challenging away match against Philadelphia Union, corresponding to the first leg. The match will be held at Subaru Park, where the azulcremas will try to achieve a favorable result, aware of how valuable it can be to score as visitors in this tournament.

Before the clash against the American team, Club América's goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón spoke about the competition within the squad, assuring that the atmosphere in the locker room is positive and denying any kind of internal conflict.

“I want to emphasize that the competition has been very healthy since day one when I had the honor of joining this institution with Oscar, with Palestina, with Cota, with Tapia. The coach has been very clear, the competition will always be there, and with so many matches ahead, my teammates are prepared for any situation. Sometimes outside the environment, many things are said, but within our environment, we know how the situation is and I congratulate my teammate Rodo for his performance and we keep working knowing that there is a lot at stake.”

The Mexican National Team goalkeeper also acknowledged that he is not currently at his best footballing moment, although he assured that his goal is to regain the level he showed when he was a key player in América's back-to-back championship.

“Personally, I am looking to return to my best version, I wish and long so much to return to the version you knew of your servant, many factors have weighed in, but I believe the only way is to keep working and always be grateful to everything that is América, to the coach, to all my teammates, who are always encouraging and helping, and I think sometimes life is like that, of moments, of good, of bad, and the point is not to stop believing in this team, we know what it means, and I am grateful for trusting me knowing that I am in debt, but with the desire to return to that better facet.”

Ahead of this commitment, Jardine announced that he will practically have a full squad. However, he confirmed the absence of Henry Martín, who is still recovering from an injury. The coach explained that the rotations made in the last match against Querétaro allowed the rest of the team to arrive in good physical condition and with confidence for this match.
