Almost 24 hours after the tie that their ‘Xolos’ of Tijuana registered at home against the ‘Gallos Blancos’ of Querétaro 1-1, the technical director of the border team Miguel Herrrera told The opinion, that he was already tired of being the controversial lord of Mexican soccer
For that reason, Miguel clarified in the phone call that this publishing house made to him that he never disrespected the fans. as has been handled publicly after images where he is seen arguing with several followers of the Xolos squad located in the stands.
“It is clear that everything that has to do with me sounds like a controversy, I went up to say hello to a guy and if there is another guy who shouts anything, but I didn’t even fight him and if you can see the video, which by the way I haven’t seen It seems that I went up to greet the guy who is greeting me and that they are always there cheering me on,” he explained.
On the subject he added that: “but there was no situation in which something happened, if I owe anything to the fans of Tijuana, of course it is the results and we have to get those,” he highlighted.
The Xolos technician was mentioned that in said video there is an exchange of words with said follower of the canine eleven where it is stated that there were insults on his part, to which he responded that: “the truth is that there will always be controversy, I am not going to deny that this is how my career has been, but the truth is, I reiterate that if I owe anything to the fans of Tijuana, it is results, because they have always been there supporting,” he highlighted.
Discussion between players
Regarding the discussion between Jesús Corona and defender Rafael Fernández and where the Paraguayan Carlos González was also involved, the Xolos strategist stated that: “suddenly everything is magnified and especially when things don’t happen and the results don’t work.” They accompany you, so there is always tension, that is not unusual and it will not be the last time it happens,” he said.
And he added that: ”There is always tension, but the locker room is good, of course I like that they complain when things don’t work out. What did they want, that we would all leave happy and raving about it? Well, no, we have to complain to them and tell each other things, but nothing more happens, nothing more happens than another complaint, what one should do is get our act together and try to to move this forward, but the locker room is fine,” he assured.
Isn’t this the first time that you are in a crisis of results where it is expected that together with the board this will go ahead?
I think this is the first time this has happened to me, it is difficult, the board has reiterated its support and if you analyze the videos against Chivas and Cruz Azul we ended up on top of the rival, against these rivals and Pachuca we are the ones who have generated plays of danger, but we put it in and they do, that’s why the matter leaves me with a bad taste and bitterness in my mouth, but I’m sure we’ll continue working to move this forward.
