Jozy Altidore, spoke prior to the match against Tijuana: "Moments ago I had a few words with some teams, but it could not materialize and here in Puebla great American players passed, I spoke with Herculez Gomez, Damarcus Beasley, and also with Lucas Cavallini and all spoke very well of the city, the club and I am very happy to be here and forge a new experience in my career".

"I am in a very competitive league with great players who have played in world cups, I am very hungry to succeed, I have to adapt to the altitude, but I arrive with the desire to do things well with a lot of affection."

"It all depends on my wife, we have to make the decision together, it is a big change for the whole family. We would have to be separated for a long time and that would not be easy, we will see how this time passes but in the future anything can happen."

"I am focused on this new league, I want to enjoy my stay in Puebla, it is a very nice city and we have great players to play a great role. I'm thinking about reaching the top and getting into the playoffs".
