Great reception for the UNAM Pumas team at the Francisco Sarabia airport in Torreón
Juan Francisco Palencia, coach of the university team, pointed out that Santos is a team that traditionally complicates things at their home stadium, especially with a strategist like José Manuel de la Torre, whom he praised for his way of working, so he expects his system to be evident in this match.
"The auriazul team was welcomed by almost a hundred fans, who made them feel at home with the cry of 'Goya'."
"Santos is a team that always complicates things at their home stadium, even when they are at the bottom of the standings, there is always a moment to turn things around and they can have a reaction at any time. That's why we have prepared ourselves in the best possible way. We haven't won away yet, so this match is also a good challenge for us," said 'El Gatillero'.
About 'Chepo', he said: "He is a coach with a lot of experience, I don't think it's an advantage for us that he has little time in the position, so we have to be attentive, because Santos will surely try to propose and win the match, just like we will."
He expects a very intense match due to the way both teams play, so he has no doubt that it will be very attractive for the crowd.
"Because of the characteristics of both teams, I expect a very intense and attractive match. Both teams will go out to win, because that's the philosophy we have at Pumas," he added.
Meanwhile, Matías Britos said that they hope to maintain their good form in the tournament and try to get their first away win of the season, that is the task they have in mind for this round.
The auriazul team was welcomed by almost a hundred fans, who made them feel at home with the cry of 'Goya'.
The players kindly accepted the requests of the fans to take photos, signed autographs, and even carried children that people brought with them, some dressed in Pumas jerseys.
That's what surprised the footballers, who were escorted calmly by Public Security elements to the hotel where they have stayed, awaiting the match they will have on Sunday at 18:00 hours against Santos Laguna at Estadio Corona, in Round 19.
