TIJUANA -- Roberto Hernández stated that if Monarcas Morelia has shown a consistency in their game at this point in the tournament, it is because a significant part of the squad has had continuity for about a year.

In this regard, he expressed satisfaction with the draw in Tijuana, where he said, "the team made an effort, we worked very well and in the end I think we closed the game in a better way."

He maintained that "the course of the game was very open, either team could have won, either team could have lost. Both teams had very clear goal opportunities."

In addition, he stated: "The most important thing is that this team has had continuity, we have been almost the same team for about a year. Therefore, the football idea is clarified, the panorama is clarified, the objectives are clarified; the players understand the idea of the game's development."

On the other hand, when asked about the elimination of relegation, he contextualized and said that when they face a team in relegation trouble, they fight against them as if they were fighting for a place in the playoffs, so he affirmed: "If in the end, that will make the league more competitive, welcome it, but we just have to wait for it to happen."

The coach of the Michoacan team was honest when stating that "from a football and sports perspective, it is not convenient to remove relegation, as certain objectives are lost, competitiveness is lost."

"If you see it, from 15th place and up (in the table) they have a chance to make it to the playoffs and from 15th place and below they are fighting against relegation. We all fight for something. By removing relegation, that will be avoided, so there will only be some teams that will compete much more clearly to be in the top positions and others where nothing will happen."
