We've enjoyed every match, tomorrow will be huge - Ángel Sepúlveda | OneFootball

Tomorrow, with an overflowing Jalisco Stadium, there will be a vital ingredient for Guadalajara: the unity between the team and its fans. This Saturday night, Chivas will look to book their place in another Liga MX Final in their second home, hand in hand with the Red-and-White Nation, which will play its part from the stands of the Colossus on Calzada Independencia.

This is, so far, the most crucial match of the Clausura 2026 for the Rebaño, which, of course, will not abandon its footballing approach and will make use of every advantage it has to secure a place in the title series of Mexico’s top flight. That’s what Ángel Sepúlveda said in the mixed zone ahead of the open training session that the Chiverío held at the Jalisco.

What the ‘Cuate’ told the media

“There are many things the team has done well with the fans. All tournament long we’ve enjoyed every home match; this team is very hungry, very united, and we know the responsibility we have.”

“It’s something we’ve worked on; the team keeps showing that it is ready, that it wants to succeed and be at the top. Step by step, all together: that’s what we need to reach the Final.”

“I used to watch Chivas matches at the Jalisco. Now it’s our second home, and we have to make ourselves felt and respected there. We watched our idols play here, we have so many memories from television, and now it’s our turn to write our own.”

“The objective is to play a good match and win the series. We know a draw is enough, but we’re not thinking about that; the team wants to win and enjoy it. If I can top it off with a goal to help my team reach another Final, I’d be delighted.”

“We knew this playoff run would bring opportunities because of the absences, but we are a team that works to be ready at the right moment. We’re rallying around ‘Sando’, we’re going to support him, and he’s enjoying it to the fullest.”

“I always highlight the collective. As a striker, you need your whole team to score goals. You work individually to contribute to the collective; I came here to make a mark. I didn’t hesitate when they presented me with the opportunity, and today I’m enjoying it.”

“It’s my way of working, of playing matches, and of contributing from wherever I’m needed. To set that example of never stopping fighting at any moment. We are united, the team wants more; tomorrow will be a great night.”

“The idea was clear: regardless of the names, the team worked toward the same objective. I got to see it from the outside at one point, and that was the first thing that motivated me; its model, its style of play, and Chivas also did its part to bring me here.”

“The way you do things matters a lot to me. You’ll always be closer when you play well, when you don’t hold back, and when you go out to win the match. Today we are the reflection of all of that.”
