There are three games left to not be relegated."
Chivas Guadalajara striker Aldo De Nigris (via Esto): "I said it when I arrived here: I want to be a champion with Chivas. It's a goal that I have. Personally, I don't have any individual goals. I have team goals, to be a champion with Chivas and help in any way that I can."
