Tigres motivated to win the first Copa Libertadores for a Mexican club
On their second day in Argentina, Tigres are more than motivated to win this Wednesday under the enormous pressure of the Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti Stadium, the first Copa Libertadores for a Mexican club.
Confidence and experience to control nerves
The group, which appears relaxed, confident, and focused, has the experience to control the nerves of the younger players. That's why it was revealed that the Frenchman André Gignac and Nahuel Guzmán have already spoken to Jürgen Damm to calm him down and take away the responsibility for anything that could go wrong, after he missed the clearest chance in the first game held last Wednesday in Monterrey.
Rafael Sobis wants to show a different performance
Brazilian player Rafael Sobis, who had one of his weakest performances in months, shaved his beard and told his teammates that he wants to show them that he will be a different player in the decisive match.
Ferretti's message to the leaders
Meanwhile, Ricardo Ferretti approached the team leaders to tell them that he perceives from the local media and the "millionaire" players that "they already feel like champions" and that this will be useful for Tigres.
Egidio Arévalo's message to the locals
Uruguayan player Egidio Arévalo also spoke and said they know they are coming to Buenos Aires to ruin the locals' party.
"Everyone knows what they are going to play here, it's going to be their party, but we come convinced of what we want. We will try to do our job and not speculate about what River does."
