Mexico City, Looking ahead to this Sunday’s “capital classic” against América, Nathan Silva, Pumas defender, acknowledged that his team will face a very dangerous opponent, which is why he considered that the key to beating them is to play with “heart and claw.”
“America will be a good rival, and we will also face a great coach (André Jardine), who has won many titles, but the classics are always special. We players prepare ourselves mentally and physically, we must leave everything on the field, play our best game, we have to play with our heart, with a lot of determination and personality,” he commented this Friday at a press conference held at the La Cantera facilities.
Likewise, the Brazilian recalled that the Auriazul team has already beaten the Águilas on other occasions, so he was confident that his squad will be able to overcome them again.
“We already beat America. What we have to do is stay well on the field and let everything go. This makes a lot of difference in the classics, we are prepared, our team is ready to play a great game and come out the winner,” he mentioned.
On the other hand, the defender supported the work of the feline coach, the Argentine Gustavo Lema, who has been booed by the fans in recent games.
“We trust him a lot. Now we come from two consecutive wins and that gives us a lot of confidence. He also does his job more calmly, I think he is doing his best and we are going to support him, we are going to leave everything on the field because for us and for the fans this classic is very important, we know that if we win we will be above the table,” he asserted.
After nine dates played in the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga Mx, Pumas is in fifth position in the general classification, with 16 units. While the azulcrema squad occupies tenth place, with 13 points.
The “capital classic”, corresponding to matchday ten, will take place this Sunday at the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium.
