Andrés Lillini spoke ahead of the match: "Together with the board of directors, I first decided to look at players who were in Liga MX so that the adaptation would be shorter and simpler. Tactically, Adrian Aldrete is more specific: he is a left back who can eventually play as a center back and understands the position perfectly. With Chino, I am looking for variants, he can play inside and outside. Gil Alcalá is a goalkeeper: he can save all the shots that go inside. With Gustavo del Prete, he can play with another striker, alone, at the back, so I will be adjusting him according to the opponent".

"In the short term, to consolidate the team's performance, mainly on the defensive side. In the medium term, to compete, never to be below the first eight places. To stay there from the start. In the long term, in December, to focus on playing in the final".

"First, they have talent. If not, it's very difficult to play because of the opponents you have to mark or counter. And then their personality: they have stood the same everywhere. They are not kids, they are big, even though none of them is older than 21, I see them as very adult". 

"The things we do are much more planned and thought out. When I arrived, everything was a whirlwind. I didn't know a lot of things because everything was rushed. But it hasn't changed that the players continue to help me a lot and make me grow. Maybe that team had a lot more experienced players and today there is more youth. But in the end, we still have the same feelings for each other, which for me is the most gratifying thing about this profession and what will get me the results I want. 

Pumas closes its preseason with this match, adding a positive streak of victories, including against América with a double from Dinenno, as well as having already closed the squad with the incorporations of Adrián Aldrete, César Huerta, Gil Alcalá and Gustavo del Prete.
