The 'Piojo' Herrera regrets that his team allowed Chivas to grow during the match

“In the end we let them grow, we started giving them balls, but the important thing was to win to stay in the first four places ; It was a good game, we were not so showy, but practical, “he said at a press conference.

With a couple of goals from French André Pierre Gignac, the Tigres beat Guadalajara in their stadium, in a result that raised the team to third place and put it close to the quarterfinals end.

Herrera recalled that when he had him as a rival, he had to receive the goals from the Frenchman and now that he has him on his side, intends to take advantage of it .

“It had not been at 100 percent, it is practically recovered, showing the quality of player that is. I suffered it before, now I want to have it ” said the strategist who highlighted Gignac’s qualities in free kick plays, his shot, his ability to distribute balls and his personality.

Although it is one of the three best teams in the championship, the felines still have to defeat Juárez, next Saturday to access the top eight phase without depending on the results of their rivals.

That meeting will be surrounded by curiosity because Juárez is led by the Brazilian Ricardo Ferretti, who marked an era with the Tigers to which he gave five league titles, the final of the last Club World Cup, a Copa Libertadores and a Concacaf title.

“It will be a game full of things around the field, but the team arrives in good time; we go with idea of ​​contesting to seek victory ”, he concluded.

The Tigers have six wins, seven draws, three losses and 25 points , one less than the Atlas, occupying the second place, two over Toluca and three over León, its main pursuers.
