The comeback or the chaos
The Atlas, which resumed a championship last tournament after more than 70 years of champion drought, is on the verge of endorsing its title and aspiring to a two-time championship. This Wednesday the 18th at the Jalisco Stadium, we followed them through the Argentine technical director Diego Cocca, who achieved a beating against the Tigres de la Autónoma de Nuevo León with a solid 3-0.
The defining meeting will take place at 8:00 p.m. in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, where the cats will seek to return to a final before their fans.
So far in the tournament, Tigres have already won two games with a difference as adverse as this one, it was against León and Toluca, both teams that failed to qualify for the final phase.
“We have to bet on attacking, we don’t know any other way, we have to go out and kill on Saturday 2,” said Herrera, confident in his offense that was the best in the regular phase and in the French striker André-Pierre Gignac, who was the champion of scoring but he hasn’t scored in his last five games, three of them in the league.”Let’s see what it’s enough for,” concluded ‘Piojo’ Herrera.
Tigres will have to beat Atlas who have not lost by that goal difference in any of the 75 league games they have been under Cocca’s command.
“This team doesn’t relax, they just became champions and with their hearts in their hands they beat Tigres 3-0 in a semifinal,” Cocca added and warned that “in Monterrey we are going to play the same, defend our identity, we know that the rival can easily come back, it’s up to us not to let him do it,” said the Guadalajara coach.
