Miguel Herrera spoke ahead of this important match: "We're going to play it with a knife between our teeth, with our fingernails out, that's how you win these stages, but we'll try to play with our idea of being an attacking team that tries to create a spectacle, we're going to play with everything that the regulations allow us to use, we worked hard to be in positions one and two, which are the ones that give you an advantage in the Playoffs and we're going to use it. We were already out of that situation and that's why we had a good tournament, as high as possible in the table, we will try to maintain the idea of winning and we won't skimp on any play."

"Not losing men, we haven't had a game practically with a man down, that was the most serious mistake we made, facing the current champion who is doing things well but we are in the same situation, in the semifinals and we have to make our status as an important team having qualified in second place."

"Florian hasn't been in the rhythm of the game, it was a bit hasty to put him on the bench on Sunday, it wasn't ideal, but you were playing for everything. Then it was difficult to count on him to play, but today he is ready, we can use him."

"We have to attack, we are the best offense, then we will have to make the condition count, in the last matchday the team was decimated and we did not stop attacking, we managed to get a goal and the idea is that, to attack that team that defends well, we cannot change our way of thinking and we will try to do it from the idea".

"We did it over the same coverage match and we did it well, Angulo can play as a center back or a winger and he did it well against Cruz Azul, the idea is to play with the line that ended. Nahuel, Angulo, Guido, Igor, Ayala, Dueñas, Vigón and Rafa, Quiñones, Soteldo and André."
