Gabriel Milito’s words during his press conference
We played a very good match, with a very high intensity. We were able to score two goals in the first 10 minutes, which helps with the development of the match. The boys did very well both offensively and defensively. They were very eager to win, and we’re leaving with a victory from a difficult venue.
Being clinical gives you the possibility of playing the match with a certain level of control. It’s always important to take the lead; the intention is always the same: to attack the opponent’s goal and be a brave team. There were other matches where we deserved to win but didn’t have the same clinical edge we had today. Sometimes opponents create difficulties, but today’s match was a very complete performance.
About Hugo Camberos and Roberto Alvarado
Hugo (Camberos) works very well and has a lot of potential. He’s a young player who is helping us a lot both in attack and defense. Both he and ‘Piojo’ defended their wing-backs very well. He’s getting minutes and has plenty of room for improvement to become an even better player. We decided to play with three attackers to look for one-on-one situations against their center backs, using ‘Piojo’ and Hugo on the flanks on their opposite foot to take advantage of Sandoval’s diagonal runs.
