Despite creating many dangerous chances on the opponent's goal and never giving up, the ball refused to go in, and Guadalajara fell 1-0 to León in a match corresponding to Week 2 of the 2025 Apertura. Although the result is negative, Gabriel Milito is clear about what he liked and what his team lacked, so at the end of the match, he gave a general analysis of it.
If you want to know everything the Chivas coach said, here are his quotes.
"I liked the team's performance; we were punished too harshly given how the game went."
"Despite losing, I liked the mentality with which they competed, the intention to always attack and create scoring opportunities."
"There are ways to win and there are ways to lose. Sometimes when you lose but leave this impression, you have to hold on to the positive things."
"We played to win, we deserved to win, but we know that's how soccer is."
"We knew the pressure had to be very coordinated; they have good players. We tried to prevent their center backs and Fonseca from initiating play, from connecting as little as possible with James Rodríguez."
"Overall, the game went as we imagined. We suffered few dangerous situations against us, and that's due to the mentality with which the boys competed."
"We will always try to play this way, neutralizing our opponents so that they cannot progress clearly on the field. We will look to attack with a lot of players; the team is capable of doing so."
"I believe that with the squad I have, they did everything possible to win the game against León. Playing this way brought goals and victory, and I am convinced that this is the way forward."
"I'm new to Mexican soccer and I don't usually talk about refereeing; I focus on talking about the game. I have nothing to say about the referee."
