In Monterrey, rumors about possible changes in the coaching staff have been circulating, but so far no candidate has managed to convince enough to replace the Argentine in his current position. Lucas Ocampos, a key player on the team, commented upon leaving the training facilities that the group supports the coach and understands that hard work is essential to move forward after the recent failure.
"We are fully with the coach, a month ago this coach took us to the final and was the best in the world for 90 percent, today we are not well, yesterday was a very strong blow for everyone and today we have to take full responsibility," Ocampos declared. He acknowledged the pressure that comes with playing for a team like Monterrey and expressed the determination to reverse the difficult situation following the elimination from the Concacaf tournament.
Regarding the team's performance in the recent Concacaf Champions Cup, the elimination generated uncertainty and criticism. Despite being one of the most expensive squads and considered favorites for the title, they failed to meet expectations. In light of this situation, Monterrey's management began to evaluate the possibility of making changes in the coaching staff with the arrival of a new coach.
"Two months ago we were the best in the world, and now we are not the worst, but it should be noted that this club is not made for a night like yesterday; we have to be self-critical within the locker room and while there were good moments last semester, these are difficult times. We need to see what kind of players we are, how we can overcome this," Ocampos added, highlighting the importance of self-criticism and determination to overcome the current challenges.
