Leones Negros is just a few days away from playing the first leg of the quarterfinals against the Atlante foals, a team they defeated in the regular phase, but Ismael Valadéz, the forward of the melenudo club, recognizes that this will be a completely different match.

"It's not going to be the same Atlante, we know the capacity they have at home, we know that we have to stand up well, that the team has done well away from home and we have to do it in the same way, knowing that the away goal is important and we will try to find it, depending on the ability to do what we can, the hallmark of the house that, although we enter with a very good boost and we have to maintain it," he commented.

In Valadéz's mind is the dream of ascending with the Guadalajara team, but they have to take it easy in order to achieve it since they still have a long way to go for a possible promotion, and he also assured that this team is capable of great things.

"Every day I dream of ascending, so the team makes you dream that, we don't think or say things in the air, simply that the things that are being done, are being done well, but we have to take it easy, we are only entering the most difficult path, we have to handle it with caution, but yes, full of confidence that Leones Negros is capable of great things," he added.

UdeG is one of the four teams that have the possibility of promotion, and in this situation Ismael recognizes that they are in a unique position, being one of those who can actually achieve promotion, a situation that they must take advantage of.

"It is an important factor that not everyone has the possibility of promotion due to administrative and bureaucratic issues, that is already a decision that is beyond us, but well, we are in a unique position where we have everything that the federation asks for and that is also a reason for confidence and responsibility, that there is the possibility, we have to seize it and not let it slip away," he concluded.
