Chivas are ready to compete and win everything – Rubén González | OneFootball

Chivas is a team whose main strength lies in its collective, not individual talent. That’s why Rubén González stated that the Rebaño Sagrado has the tools to remain competitive and a strong title contender in the Clausura 2026, even with potential absences due to national team call-ups ahead of the final Mexico squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “Oso” expressed full confidence in what the team has achieved so far this season. Despite injuries and international call-ups during FIFA breaks, the squad’s depth and quality have stood out, allowing Chivas to maintain strong collective performances and consistent results throughout the tournament. Because of this, he is confident the team can secure another victory this Sunday against Pumas in Matchday 13 of the Clausura 2026. Key quotes from Rubén González in the mixed zone:  • “It’s great to be at the top (of the standings), but we have the responsibility to keep improving every week and not let up. Of course we are title contenders, but more than points or records, we want to be champions.” • “We’ve shown it. At any moment it can be our turn and everyone is ready. The key word is team. We’re all on the same page: whoever plays does it well, and whoever doesn’t supports from wherever they are.” • “Chivas can be champions even without national team players. There have been moments when teammates are not in the lineup and we’ve shown the same intensity and desire. We know we can keep that rhythm.” • “Against Pumas it’s going to be a very intense match, like a playoff game, but we have to stay humble, keep working, and remain focused.” • “I always like to see Chivas at the top. I like to see the team playing well, and that’s what we have to do—give Chivas the place it deserves because of what it represents. I’ve been at the club since I was a kid, and living a moment like this is a dream.”
