After forcing his players to wear dog masks during training, Puebla manager Jose Luis Sanchez Sola had this to offer (via Soccerly): "[I did this] without disrespect to anyone. This is just a message I want my players to get. I want them fighting for every ball like rabid dogs."
Puebla will have their first opportunity to do so in Queretaro this evening.
