What They're Saying

Cruz Azul manager Sergio Bueno (via TVMax): "I do not mind criticism, everyone is entitled to express themselves. People who disagree will seek to convince people that I was the best option. I know there's a lot of pressure, but I've learned to live with it for many years. That does not scare me or scare me, I'm ready for that."

Morelia manager Enrique Meza (via Azteca Deportes): I'm happy with what I've been testing. I have enjoyed the samples of the game and team performance. It is true that the results have not followed, but I like my team."
