Fernando Ortíz spoke before today's match: "I am looking for alternatives, I have leaders within the squad and it is up to us as a coaching staff to look for alternatives so that they can find the victory. I am very satisfied with the players and the way they work. We need a victory to get rid of that pressure".

"I know what it is to wear this jersey, they know it too, it's not that they avoid the responsibility they have as players. I have no doubt that they will get out of their slump. We know what institution we are in. We have always tried to reach the players on the emotional side, because the quality is not in doubt".

"In the two matches I don't think we deserved to lose, with Monterrey we took over on a Thursday and we had one day to work with the boys and then we lost the game due to an accidental play and then we had a week to prepare for the Clásico and we were conditioned to play with one less, but we played with overalls on."

"There is no other message than to win with Toluca, it is going to happen and they are going to look for that win. That victory is more focused on the emotional than the sporting aspect. Whoever has to play is going to give their all."

"Santiago (Baños), the president, told us that we would continue until the end of the championship and I proposed short objectives to the players, I cannot visualize beyond the match against Toluca, it is the first match to achieve that victory and think about the future. If we were to think about anything else it would be a serious mistake".

"I come with the need to reverse the situation that although it is not the best, it is in my head to follow a process of what one has always sought, it would be wonderful if tomorrow it were to happen, but I am aware and realistic of the situation I live in."

"Personally it was not difficult (to take over América), because I have prepared myself for this, although the possibility of the way it happened is not the way one intends, things happen in a way that one cannot handle or wish for, I am calm when it comes to making decisions, I have the support of the people when it comes to deciding."

Toluca has not been able to show a great face and in their last match they lost three goals to zero against Pachuca, which is why they urgently need to get three points from three.

América arrives after a rather boring draw against Chivas, where no dangerous plays were generated and the game ended goalless at the Akron stadium.

The América vs Toluca match will be played at the Azteca Stadium, located in Mexico City. The stadium has a capacity for 81,044 people.
