Aaron Galindo- Chivas (Mexsport)
Chivas hold a perfect record in the Bicentenario 2010 and part of that has been the defense including Aaron Galindo. The defender gives credit to the collective work that the team has put into the four games of the tournament and hopes that the work will fulfill his dream to be with the Mexican national team in South Africa for the World Cup.

Galindo finds Chivas to be at a great place after winning four consecutive games, but assures that he can give more and is not at his top level yet.  

“In the personal and in the collective it’s been an important moment what we’ve gone through these four weeks of consecutive wins. We’ve played with our all and the team is doing well. I also consider that I can give more, but we’re moving game by game,”  said Galindo after training on Thursday.  

The last win against Queretaro was especially important to the defense - in the previous three games they had let in goals, but kept a clean sheet against Queretaro.  

“Without a doubt it’s important. It’s a goal that we had since the beginning of the tournament and we accomplished it against Queretaro which makes us happy and now we have to continue working to get more clean sheets.”  


Although Chivas was not reinforced during the off-season, Galindo assures that the team has enough quality to make it far into the tournament.  

“We have a team that’s there to do important things. We have take it step by step and with tranquility,” added the defender.

Despite the recent advantage the Chivas player adds that the team has to take things slowly but stay on guard.  

“[We can’t] relax. We know that we can achieve interesting things, but we talk and take things slowly.”  

With Alberto Aguilar, a member of Javier Aguirre’s technical team, recently at Chivas Galindo hopes that his work has caught the eye of the manager. The defender had experience in the 2005 Confederations Cup but was later banned for testing positive of performance enhancement drugs that suspended him from the game making him miss out on the 2006 World Cup in Germany as well.   

“I try to  be well, but I have to first see the collective work and try to win a place on the national team with Aguirre. It’s a dream and I’ll continue working to try and win a spot.”
