Rayados de Monterrey is determined to add points in their visit to Estadio Corona, just like they did last time they were there.
WE RECOMMEND: 'Chepo' expects a highly contested match
With the regio team came a familiar face for the lagunera fans, Jesús Molina, but now as an albiazul he sees things differently.
"I'm happy to be here, where it was my home for two years, today I come with Rayados and we come with the intention of taking the three points," said the midfielder as he advanced to the bus.
Santos mentioned that he is expecting a squad that has been doing things well, that although it is true that they have tied some games at the last minute, he believes they have a good style of play.
When questioned about the sporting rivalry between these two teams, Molina said:
"I know that the rivalry between Santos and Rayados is very strong, I imagine that the stadium is going to be full, I'm starting to imagine what tomorrow's game is going to be like, but we come to do our thing, to do what we worked on during the week to get a good result and be in the qualifying zone."
He considers this match as an early playoffs game, because "for us it is of vital importance, if we win we are one step away from qualifying, so we have to think only about winning, there is no other option."
Meanwhile, 'Ponchito' González mentioned that the game against Santos is of great importance for their aspirations towards the playoffs.
"They have a well-worked game plan, so obviously, we come with the intention of winning," highlighted the Sonoran.
"To fight for important things, we must play important games. We come to add points and secure a place in the playoffs, Santos is a good rival, we have to continue with the positive streak, we have to continue doing things well, we played a good game last weekend and we hope to do the same tomorrow," he said.
The Rayado team arrived at Comarca around 16:00 hours, they were received by a small group of supporters, so without any setbacks, players and coaching staff moved to the hotel.
