Ricardo Valiño spoke after the goalless draw in the first leg: "What concerns me most at the moment is the wellbeing of the players, we have players with some discomfort, and with the time remaining between now and Saturday we hope to have them well, we lacked a little more certainty in the definition, but these are 180-minute series". 

"The performance was good, we put Atlante under high pressure, we had situations and defensively it was a good match, we have to wait at home to play an intelligent match. Like we did today and get the pace".

"To be a little bit finer in the definition, I'm concerned now with the return to Morelia. It's a disputed match where teams with similar characteristics face each other; it's not for nothing that we've faced each other in several tournaments at this level. Whoever makes a mistake loses it and whoever scores the goal wins the match". 

"I was grateful, a lot of people from Morelia came, I saw a lot of people from Morelia, the players feel that, the people who are at home, Atlético Morelia needs their support. The key for us at home is to be able to sustain the intensity and stay focused for 95 minutes."
