“Today is really one of those rough matches for us, so I can consider it, what happened today was an accident, too much margin is reflected in a result that, in my opinion, apparently on the pitch, was not that much . They have taken advantage of what we have given and we were not able to convert the opportunities when they were presented to us,” mentioned Cadena.
“The team leaves me with a pleasant sensation in the first minutes, what has been working in the previous games, we had good chances but we couldn’t convert, they had a good participation with their goalkeeper Nahuel and that didn’t let us get any closer.
“We had circumstances that did not work in our favor in the first two goals and they for the second half with a margin of two goals gives you another perspective and with less time for the match. We were overwhelmed by the anxiety to close the distance and we knew we were going to take risks, but our spirits did not drop with going to look for.”
But Chivas can not linger on the defeat, as they journey to Azteca Stadium on Saturday for the daunting traditional towards rivals Club America. It’ll be their largest problem but, because the Mexico City group continues their nine-match successful streak whereas main the 2022 Liga MX Apertura desk with 31 factors in 14 video games.
“We have a Clásico forward of us, we all know what it means and in that sense we are going to do a chilly evaluation, I simply informed them [to the players], it was a soccer accident, we now have to take into consideration the Clásico towards América, which from the beginning motivates,” Cadena concluded.
