'Chepo' highlighted the team's confidence.

Heading: Facing their third match of the Clausura 2017, José Manuel de la Torre has highlighted the confidence the team has gained with the results obtained so far, now looking to maintain that pace by visiting Monarcas this Saturday.

He preferred not to give a thorough opinion about the change his team has had from one tournament to another.

"I didn't have the opportunity to start the last tournament, so it's difficult to talk about that. What is true is that there have been changes, I've had more time to work with them, the group has won in many situations that we have tried to improve."

After Santos' good performance against América, José Manuel indicated that it is part of what is clear, "the points are what count, of course, more points will be achieved when playing well or functioning better."

RECOMMENDED: Prepare for the visit to Monarcas

He affirmed that there is confidence in recovering the prominence, "we have had that clear, but it has always been that way, sometimes things don't go well, now we have the possibility because the situation with the group has been well structured in the planned times," he said.

Part of that is recovering strength at home, "of course, it is something that is clear, it is one of the objectives set with the group and the directors. Torreón is a tough, complicated city, and it depends on how the team performs."

"I think that despite having certain point differences, it is important for us to accumulate points, establish a good parameter in terms of points, and that gives stability to the team in the future in the percentage issue," he pointed out.

"All teams have it, it's just that the result depends on how they want to work, some have great economic capacity and excellent players, but the team's performance matters more than individualities."
