What They're Saying
Tigres UANL's Guido Pizarro (via Medio Tiempo): "This is a group. Everyone supports each other from where they are. Personally, I expect to complete the maximum objective of becoming a champion and then we'll see what happens. I wouldn't be surprised to be a champion. We're 30 and everyone is ready to play. I'll always put the team on my shoulders."
"I can give more," he added. "You've seen an improvement in play, but as for the quality, there can be more. In the playoffs, there could be a better version [of our play]."
