Robert Dante Siboldi, coach of Santos Laguna, stated that the style has not changed and does not contemplate modifying it, since he feels that the players feel comfortable as they have done so far.

This is in relation to the change that happened in the match against Tiburones, where the albiverde team did not function as in the previous rounds.

"We have not changed, there are rivals that let us play more than others. Veracruz did not let us play, they came out to press us and when they did not, they hit us, they did not let the play grow, there were a great number of impressive fouls, that is why our football could not develop, they pressed us well," he explained.

For the match against Tijuana, Santos will only be missing Gerardo Alcoba due to injury, who is already ready for the match against Toluca.

"We continue to work in the same way as when we faced Lobos, based on the analysis of the previous match, improving the details and mistakes. We varied some things in exercises, but the objective is the same, the style of play does not change, because I am convinced that the team looks good, feels comfortable, and the players have more participation, we have many chances and well, we need to correct defensive details, that is what we do, we haven't changed anything, but the rivals do vary," he added.

Now, to face Tijuana, a team that has not yet conceded a goal, sometimes they expect a team to play in a certain way and during the match they show something different.

"I expected Veracruz to play in a certain way and it happened differently, that is the surprise, that is what having a balanced and competitive team generates, which can play one way or another. I think Xolos will play defensively and wait for a mistake and then capitalize on the counterattack. Regardless of how the opponent sets up, we work on our strengths, enhancing and maximizing our virtues and minimizing our flaws."

The formula that Siboldi will use to try to break Tijuana's clean sheet lies in the offensive strength of his team.

"Djaniny has been scoring goals, but there is also the work that Furch does, I understand that the center forward is there to score goals, but retaining the ball, creating spaces, waiting for teammates to arrive, all of that is very important, that is what we did against Morelia, we visualized it because we thought that creating one-on-one situations with Julio would open up spaces for Djaniny. In addition, Rodríguez also has goals, Isijara and Cris when it's their turn, Brian Lozano who came in well against Veracruz. And I see that we are on the right track, with the draw in Veracruz it seems like everything collapsed, but it is not like that."

Now against Xolos, it is a different idea, a team that is in first place, that has been doing things well, "it is another challenge and another objective to fulfill, which is to beat them and at home make the most of our home advantage and play so that the fans leave happy," he pointed out.

The Uruguayan strategist believes he has a good team, suitable to achieve the goal of qualifying and winning the championship.

"We have to believe that we are a competitive team capable of fighting against anyone, if we do not do things well, if we fall into the arrogance of underestimating the opponent, then we will lose against anyone."

He hopes that Orozco gets another opportunity with the national team.

Regarding the call-up of goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco for the match with the national team against Bosnia, without having any activity, Robert Dante stated: "It is a complicated issue, I would have liked him to participate, but it is understandable that he did not. It is good to be called up, I like it, it would be complete if he played, but we have to support them, enjoy it, for something they are called up, nobody gives anything away and if they are there it is because they can go to the World Cup, it serves them a lot as motivation."

He said he is willing to release players to the national team if they are needed in advance for the World Cup.

"I understand that the priority is the national team, we have players to deal with that situation, if that is the case, there is no problem, being called up gives a plus, as with the U-21 players we have, we are also delighted that they are in those situations, because the experience and maturity cannot be compared to anything else."
