Chivas Guadalajara manager Carlos Barra had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Medio Tiempo): "The truth cannot be hidden. The reality is that we are at a disadvantage and everyone at the club knows. [This] is a situation where the team should play better and create more scoring situations to have a chance to win. In regard to points, we are aware that we are trailing."
"We're focused on what we have to do," he added. "And fortunately, we will have the same amount of games after Sunday to focus and win."
