Puebla Statements
Eduardo Arce spoke ahead of the match: "We know they (Chicago Fire) are a very solid team with a lot of hierarchy up front and very solid lines. They showed it the other day against Minnesota, losing the match at any moment they can generate dangerous options. We expect them to come looking for us and we expect a hard-fought match."
"It is a means of expression and it is valid. We are consolidating the group. We are trying to become that competitive team again. The group has clear ideas, is very united, and wants to demonstrate what it has been demonstrating. We are focused on working, trying to continue to be competitive, not only focusing on the nets. If at some point whatever happens happens, we know it's part of soccer".
"In the case of Emanuel Gularte it's something sporting, something we thought we could improve a lot in that part, it's something very personal. And then with the Antony issue it is a collective decision, I can't tell you that it was only mine, together with the board and coaching staff we believe that it was time to make this change in the process."
