The Rebaño will play with young players in the first match of the Copa MX when they visit Santos Laguna. One of the designated players for this match will be Kevin Magaña, a left-winger, who knows that he has the support of Matías Almeyda for this duel at the TSM.

"He always supports us to the death, he is always with us, he tells us that if we make any mistakes or do something strong, he will always support us, back us up, he tells us to do everything with confidence, that if we are going to make mistakes, let's make them confidently."

Magaña is a player who has been part of Chivas' structure for years, he is an interesting player for his way of facing and getting rid of opponents. Now the midfielder is about to fulfill his dream of debuting in the First Division, but before that, he must do things right in the Copa MX.

"I had to sit on the bench in the league, I couldn't get in, very anxious, motivated to play in the Copa, debut in the top division, here in the Copa MX, very anxious, I have worked hard for so long waiting for this, whether it's the debut in the Copa or the league. If I do things well personally, he will surely like it and continue to consider me, we have to give our best, we know that the national team players are coming, we have to give our all, we have to take advantage of the minutes. If I have the chance in the Copa, I have to take advantage of it."

Magaña feels that it is a good time for the promotion of youth players, as the team comes from being champions and it is time to demonstrate the talent of those developed in La Gigantera.

"It is very nice that people see you as a champion, we are from the youth academy, now if Almeyda gives us the opportunity, we have to defend the star or championship to the death. It is always demanding to defend the Chivas jersey since youth academy, even more so being the champion team, we have to give our all on the field, leave everything on the field, it is Chivas, it is the current champion," said Magaña.
