Although Guadalajara was unable to achieve the result it had hoped for in its visit to Tijuana, it managed to show clear signs of fight, character, and unity in the face of adversity. Even with a 3-goal deficit, it never gave up and managed to tie Xolos 3-3 in the match corresponding to Matchday 6 of the 2025 Apertura.
After the match, Gabriel Milito spoke at a press conference and did not hesitate to be self-critical, acknowledging the team's mistakes throughout the match. However, the Argentine coach also took the opportunity to highlight his team's fighting spirit and assured that, united and committed to hard work, they will be able to turn the situation around.
If you want to know everything the Rebaño Sagrado coach said, we'll tell you below.
"We need courage and pride, which the players have shown. Down 3-0, the team pushed forward. It's not easy to keep playing with a deficit like that. Hopefully, this will be the starting point for something better, to start winning."
"We have a lot of work to do, and the team is going to get started. We have some weaknesses, but also many strengths. We will get out of this by sticking together, trusting each other, facing up to the challenge, and playing with a lot of personality. Those values will be the key to getting better results."
"We always go out to win. It wasn't easy to come back from 3-0 down, but the team did it with a lot of pride. We didn't come here to draw, but given how the game went, we salvaged a point."
"Ledezma's injury is a significant loss. We'll see how long his recovery takes. We chose Alan Mozo to replace him, and he did well, but in the second half we needed more wingers than fullbacks."
"I want us to be a much more solid team. We make a lot of avoidable mistakes given the quality of our players."
"We want more balance. A mistake cost us the first goal, and although we always try to control the game, we had to do so with the score against us."
"It's not easy to face a team like Tijuana, which defends well and steals the ball to attack the space with its fast players."
"If you attack poorly and play with three defenders one-on-one, you increase the risk of being attacked. Today I felt the need to take that risk to come back in the game."
"We started the first and second halves badly, but I would like to highlight the pride of the team, which was always looking to score goals."
"We need to defend better, but I also think we can improve our ball circulation."
"The feeling is one of helplessness, seeing the team giving their all and me trying to help them in the best way possible."
"I'm with these players every day, and I know how much they want to turn the situation around. There's a lot of emotional baggage, and I try to get them to do what they do best, which is play soccer."
"The team scores goals against us with far fewer chances. It's something we've been talking about, and it's a reality. We have to move past it and turn the situation around."
"I have an opinion about the refereeing, but I'll keep it to myself. I talk about the game, not the referees' decisions."
