Andrés Lillini, technical director of Pumas assured that they will qualify for the playoffs on the following date when they face América in the Capital Classic, and that their players do not need extra motivation against the Eagles because they understand the importance of three points.
“I don’t think they have to be motivated to play against America and in the instance that we are at. To America It is a game that you want to play and win. It is a confrontation with a lot of history. The player knows what is at stake and the most important thing is that we have to get into the playoffs, win and it is an obligation. I think we are going to get involved. The objective is the league, “he said at a press conference at the end of the game against Puebla.
Similarly, Lillini said that they will take advantage of the locality to find their place in the playoffs and that the numerical combinations will have them in their favor to find a place among the top 12.
“You depend on the numbers to classify, but surely we will have everything on our side and they will give us the numbers to arrive with America and define what we are looking for at home. We are going to make it. We do things better. It is the end of the tournament and the times are much shorter. In America we will think from tomorrow, “he said.
Finally, the auriazul strategist said that they should not fall into despair against America and that they will work on the lack of a goal, an issue that is their weak point in this tournament.
“The truth is that they say that the goal drought is notorious. This is won or lost by goals. The lack of definition has us complicated, but in nine days we will improve that part because it is the last chance to get in. Do not fall into despair. A week that we must read the rival well, one that is up, in first places, “he concluded.
For its part, Nicolás Larcamón, Puebla’s technical director, regretted not winning against his fans, who returned to the Cuauhtémoc Stadium more than a year after not going to a soccer game.
“About the spectacular people and I regret that we could not win the game because it was a dream night after the fans did not come to the stadium. We know that there are still great nights ahead with the fans, “he concluded.
