Tigres' Egidio Arevalo had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via El Horizonte): "They [Pumas] have important players. We can't afford to not look after each other. Everyone talks about the altitude [in Mexico City], but if you prepare during the preseason you do it to play at sea level. We are convinced that we will play a great game and we'll bring [home] the three points."
