Chivas' Arrival to Torreón for their Cup Match Against Santos Laguna
This afternoon, the Guadalajara team arrived in Torreón for their Copa match against Santos Laguna. Very discreetly, the Guadalajara team settled in the concentration hotel, where they are waiting for the time to face the green and white team.
None of the players wanted to make statements to the press, only a few stopped to sign autographs, including coach Matías Almeyda, who quickly went up to his room.
Javier Eduardo López Ramírez, known as 'La Chofis', kindly greeted the few fans, as did Isaac Brizuela.
The Guadalajara club confirmed that for the match against Santos, where Guadalajara will start the path to defend their Copa MX title, Matías Almeyda traveled with 19 players.
The team arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled, which was reflected in the low attendance of fans, so their transfer from the airport to the hotel was very quick.
They are: Antonio Torres and Miguel Jiménez as goalkeepers; Diego Cortés, Miguel Basulto, Michelle Benítez, Benjamín Galindo, and Carlos Zamora as defenders.
Eduardo López, Michael Pérez, Edson Torres, Ángel López, Fernando Beltrán, Iván Gutiérrez, and Óscar Macías in midfield, and strikers Carlos Fierro, Isaac Brizuela, José Juan Macías, Jesús Godínez, Kevin Magaña.
The Argentine strategist continues to rely on young talent, as shown in the debut against Toluca, where he called up Fernando Beltrán, José Juan Macías, and Ángel López, bringing the total to 8 debuts under his leadership in almost two years.
He worked with several young players since preseason to observe them in depth, which is why he brings a squad that includes those elements for the match against Santos Laguna.
Chivas hopes that Santos will also call up several young players for this match, considering that both teams will have demanding opponents for the weekend in the league.
