What They're Saying

Pachuca midfielder Jorge Hernandez on America's winless start to the campaign (via Esto): "America do not have the results, but that doesn't mean they've played poorly. They are far from a bad team. We know what they're capable of."

America manager Ignacio Ambriz on facing the pressures of a winless start from the fans (via Esto): "I understand the fans questioning everything, but I'm not worried. The fans will see that we are working hard. We have played with urgency. We don't have the time, but I have everything in place. You'll see."
