Carlos Acevedo, who has played in the Copa MX with Santos Laguna, dreams of being champion in this tournament and does not want to miss the opportunity they have this Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals when they face Necaxa.
The goalkeeper is ready to defend the Santos goal in this match, which he expects to be quite difficult, but he has no doubt that they will take advantage of the moment that the Laguna team is going through.
"I feel prepared, but I need to polish some details. We need to stay calm and ready for any opportunity. In the near future, I would like to defend the Santos goal in the Primera Division."
"I am very happy, pleased to be able to demonstrate what I have worked on for many years, to be with my people, my family, with all my friends. We must take advantage of all the opportunities, personally I must give my maximum," said the player.
"Being with my people motivates me, and the team has an emotional boost from those two consecutive victories, which helps us a lot to face this match in the Copa. I think it will be a very intense game and we hope to handle it in the best way," he said.
Acevedo, who has participated in two league matches, but has been regular in the Copa, considers Necaxa to be a dangerous opponent, as was recently shown in the Liga MX.
"They will come with a thirst for revenge. We played against them a week ago in the league and they will want to make up for that. That's why it will be a very demanding match. We will make every effort to win," he said.
In light of the mentioned circumstances, he believes that Santos must be very concentrated in defense. "It's a complicated series, it's the round of 16, that's why I insist that it will be a difficult duel, but we need to advance. I would like to be champion with Santos in the Copa," he said.
"Why not think about a championship, which is what the fans want, it's what they expect," added the player from Laguna. He said he is aware that he is the second goalkeeper, trying to learn from Jonathan Orozco, but ready for any call-up.
"Currently, I am very clear about my role as the second goalkeeper. I support Jona and learn a lot from him. I feel prepared, but I need to polish some details. We need to stay calm and ready for any opportunity. In the near future, I would like to defend the Santos goal in the Primera Division. I have been a fan and a player, and I will give my all with my maximum effort," he said.
