Although I would like to be in a better position, Joel Sánchez, coach of Leones Negros, is satisfied with what the team has shown so far in the Clausura 2017. Four victories, two draws and two defeats is the harvest of the university team at the halfway point of the tournament. However, the Mexican strategist acknowledges that the team should be a little higher, although he is reassured by the players' performance, especially considering that they haven't lost in the last four matches, where they have earned eight out of 12 possible points, placing them in seventh place overall, just four points behind the leader Mineros.

"The last tournament was disastrous, it's not something that can be hidden, the team didn't have a good tournament and that's the reality, now the team is well positioned, obviously we would like to earn three points, in the last four matches we have two wins and two draws, so we are doing fairly well, but I think we deserve a little more based on what I have seen in the matches. So we will take advantage of the long week we have to face Atlante and we will see how the tournament continues, but so far I have no complaints about my team, it seems to me that they are constantly improving and hopefully they can be contenders in the upcoming matches."

Next Sunday, the melenudos will host the Potros de Hierro del Atlante at the Jalisco stadium, where they have been unbeaten in 2017, with three victories in as many matches.
