Every team no matter how big or how small always strives for one common purpose and that is success. The most successful are usually the ones who are the biggest and most hated in football. America. Chivas, Cruz Azul and Pumas are the big four in Mexico but there is one team that wants to get in the mix.  Monterrey’s vice president talked about the message that Los Rayados want to send out during the Liguilla process

“The message is that we want to be a big club, we want to be fighting for and winning championships and we want to obtain them both at home and away from home,” said Luis Miguel Salvador in a press conference.

Monterrey has certainly built a championship type team. They have Humberto Suazo and Aldo de Nigris spearheading the attack. The defense doesn’t fall short with Felipe Baloy and Jonathan Orozco holding down the fortress.

Los Rayados showed great character in defeating America to go on to the next round. Now Monterrey will have to face the team that seems to be the favorite to take it all. Salvador is well aware of Toluca’s intents and signaled for Monterrey to keep their guard up at all times.

“Advancing gives you strength and confidence. The team did well during the regular season, closed the season out strong and we knew that America was going to be complicated. But everything is progress,” noted Miguel Salvador. “Now it's a different story and we'll see how far we can get. Toluca is a club of much respect, with great players, a team with plenty of experience in these parts of the season and in no way can we underestimate our rival.”


The vice president of Monterrey also took time to reflect on the experience that Victor Manuel Vucetich brings to the team.

“He is experienced and has been a part of many Liguillas. He has been a champion and I believe experience and the way he handles the players is important.”

“It's been a lot of work building the roster. It's a great group of people and footballing quality. They've formed a good group and have developed well together, expressed Luis Miguel Salvador.
