Esteban González after beating Chivas: 'Since we arrived in Mexico, they wrote us off'
Following a 2-0 win over Chivas, Queretaro coach Esteban González praised his team's character and their ability to defy expectations in Liga MX.
Queretaro head coach Esteban González expressed his satisfaction after a vital 2-0 victory against Chivas in the 10th round of the Mexican championship. The coach highlighted the character displayed by his players and how they have navigated the tournament despite the low expectations surrounding the team.
González stated that since his arrival in Mexico, he perceived that Queretaro was not considered a favorite in their matches, a situation that ended up strengthening the group. "Since we arrived in Mexico, we realized they looked down on us and wrote us off before the game started. Today we played an almost perfect game. We didn't give up on any play and showed a lot of self-love. We broke paradigms," the coach remarked.
We don't have anything to spare, we haven't won absolutely anything yet. Our goal is clear: to give our maximum effort. Any team can beat anyone, and I feel the players have done it perfectly. Esteban González
The win is particularly significant as Queretaro had not secured a victory at that venue for 12 years. After the game, González urged his players to keep their feet on the ground and not get distracted by their current position in the Liga MX standings or increased media attention.
The coach emphasized the importance of maintaining the same mentality and work ethic regardless of how external perceptions change. He insisted that internally, the focus must remain unchanged, as the team knows how to compete and believes that dreams can be fulfilled through consistent, hard work.
