What They're Saying
Tijuana midfielder Juan Arango (via Esto): "This season is going better for me. Last season, I struggled to adapt. I had more than 10 years of not playing in Mexico. On top of that, it took me a while to get used to artificial turf. Little by little, I improved."
Veracruz defender Leobardo Lopez (via Esto): "The team is very motivated. The form of the team is very important. We still haven't won anything, but we feel very close to achieving our first objective, which is to avoid relegation. Hopefully, we can win this Friday and be even closer to it."

Player to Watch: Veracruz's rise up the Liga MX table coincides with the rise in Julio Furch's form. In eight matches this season, the 25-year-old has six goals and two assists.
