For Julian Velázquez, the game against America is not just another match in the championship
In addition to being a classic, the Cruz Azul defender affirms that it is in these types of matches where you can see the true level of La Máquina.
"They are unique matches, different matches, matches that define who you are, so I am very happy to play these classics, for me it is a unique experience and I hope that I can defend this team on the field and give a victory to our fans who have been with us at all times, in good and bad times, and I believe that together we deserve a victory."
At the moment, Cruz Azul with 18 points is in sixth position in the table; however, the difference with America, who is second in the standings, is only two units, so if they win, they would surpass the Eagles. For the Argentine center, the victory could be the leap that the team needs to get closer to the playoffs.
"It is important for us to qualify for the playoffs, we need it, this team deserves it, I believe that we have been doing things well enough to be part of the playoffs, so let's hope that this weekend's match will be a jump for us to be there nearby," he commented.
