Following Chivas' defeat to Querétaro, midfielder Luis Romo faced criticism after a defensive error led to the opening goal. However, head coach Gabriel Milito publicly defended the player, stating that the mistake does not change his confidence in his captain.
It was an unfortunate play where Luis resolved it well, but he had to live through the error. It happens rarely, but it is part of football. Nothing will change what I think: as a footballer, he is fundamental for the team. Gabriel Milito
The manager acknowledged that the team had a difficult night, particularly in the second half, where a loss of control allowed Querétaro to dominate. Milito admitted that the team played with excessive haste, leading to uncharacteristic inaccuracies throughout the match.
Despite mounting questions regarding Chivas' tendency to build from the back, Milito clarified that he does not plan to change the team's identity. He emphasized that the issue is not the strategy of playing out from defense, but rather improving the execution and finding better solutions when faced with high pressure from opponents.
