At the press conference, the head coach of America, André Jardine, commented: "We remain in second place, fighting for the lead, and Chivas is in a complicated situation." In the match of the 11th round of Liga MX, America drew goalless in their visit to Chivas, despite creating opportunities in front of goal and playing against a rival with one less player in the second half.
Jardine stated that the match served to test variations in the lineup and to adjust errors and issues regarding the lack of rhythm of some players. "Of course, some lack rhythm and that's normal, but the feeling is that we were always the team closest to victory, looking for it, risking a little more, going on the attack," he declared.
The azulcremas remain as runners-up in the tournament with 24 points, after seven wins, three draws, and one loss. They will face Guadalajara again to define at home their passage to the next phase of the Concacaf Champions Cup, where they aim to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Jardine highlighted the importance of earning points in the national classic, although his priority is to advance in the Concacaf Champions Cup. After the draw with Chivas, the coach expressed his concern about a glass bottle thrown from the stands that hit a player's leg, requesting measures from the league.
In Liga MX, America will visit Atlas in matchday 12, while in the standings of the 2025 Clausura, they are in second place with 24 points, below León with 26 points.
The draw in the match between Chivas and America does not concern Jardine so much, as he believes it affects Chivas more than his team in terms of qualification for the playoff of the 2025 Clausura tournament.
