Oswaldo Alanís highlights the quality of André-Pierre Gignac, prior to the Tigres-Chivas match.

Chivas know what Gignac is capable of

Chivas already know what Gignac is capable of. In less than five minutes, he changed the course of the first leg of the Clausura 2017 Final. The quality of André-Pierre Gignac is more than proven and almost 60 goals in Mexican soccer back him up. On Saturday, Guadalajara goes to the house of the Felinos and there will be special attention on the French forward, stated defender Oswaldo Alanís.

"Gignac's quality is evident. He is the kind of player that you mark very well, but in one or two plays, he generates a goal. It happened to us in the first leg of the final, how to mark him at the end is football and we have known how to do it in other matches. I have played against him twice, but in the second leg of the Final, it was done very well. We must stay focused and aware of what Gignac is capable of. If you remain alert and do things well, you neutralize a forward. We know about his quality, he is a player better than average, his goals and career speak for themselves," he said.

Although Chivas is not going through their best moment, the defender commented that there are enough arguments to believe they can come out alive from the Universitario Stadium. The last victory of the Guadalajara team in that stadium happened in January 2010 with a 3-1 victory, including a brace from Javier Hernández and Héctor Reynoso.

"Just like Tigres, all teams have very good players, maybe in smaller quantities, but in this occasion, many of them are together. We have done it before. We need the highest possible concentration, marking as we already did in the first and second leg of the final, anything is possible, it's football. We are going to go for the result," concluded Alanís.
