America manager Antonio Mohamed had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via La Liga MX): "There's still a long month left to keep preparing the team because they aren't playing how I'd like them to. They're still lacking and they haven't reached their peak. We have to keep working and getting better on certain areas of the pitch where I see faults."
"Being at the top of the table gives us an advantage," he added. "We know that it's on us to finish in first place."
