Diego Cocca spoke after the draw against Puebla: "It's positive because of the way we played, the objective was to win. The goal was to win, to get three points at the Jalisco and knowing that we have to recover a lot of points, we had a lot of attitude. We have to understand that Puebla was always a very tough opponent. A pitch that was soft, making a significant physical effort, we looked for the opponent's goal". 

"We had one or two more, we lacked effectiveness, the attitude was very good, we couldn't win, if you can't win, you shouldn't lose either."

"We are aware of the points we have and we are far from the first. This is improving day by day, bringing the players up to speed, we have gone through many inconveniences. Today we found many positive things, we are going to grab them and go to the next match to look for the three points."

"Part of our role is to tell them what we see, we said what we felt and they understood it and today the team transmitted something else, this is the road we have to go down, we don't have to leave this place, and wins are something else, but this is the road."

Atlas arrived after a one-goal draw against Puebla, the red-and-black team is still not finding consistency and is sailing this season between draws and defeats; besides some victories.

Pachuca has not had a very consistent tournament, however, it arrives at this match after beating León by the minimum, giving its coach some breathing space.
