Joel Huiqui, technical director of Cruz Azul, was surprised by the criticism of his colleague Efraín Juárez against the position of the celestial board of challenging the whistler Daniel Quintero Huitrón for next Sunday and for that reason he asked not to stain the final and a punishment for the feline strategist.

Juárez, moments before the light blue coach addressed the media at a press conference, went hard and head-on against Cruz Azul by stating that his complaints against the whistlers are out of place simply because they have benefited the most from the men in black in the league.

"Is that what he said? They would have to fine him because you can't talk about refereeing. Look, we shouldn't dirty the final. It was a wonderful final; it seems to me that the two teams are in the final because they deserve it. We had a great campaign. Pumas had a great campaign, no problem. Cruz Azul, third place."

"The important thing is to analyze, focus on what we did, right? Football is like that, the competition is complex, we all want to win the Final, which has been very transparent, very honest and I think that today the result is fair; obviously we would have liked to win it, we had many scoring chances, they have a great goalkeeper, it is reality and he scored all the goals"

Regarding the match where they could not score against the Pumas, Huiqui said that there is still time left and that they are within the plans that have been drawn up: "The team had many scoring options, as they say, we shot more than 20 balls, not at the goal, but part of it was, and part of the plan is that now they go at the goal."

Huiqui highlighted that it was very important that the team played in the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium and did not have to travel to Puebla, since that allowed the team to rest and be with their families, especially because it is more time to recover.

"It is a great advantage for us not to travel, to be at home, to rest today the players with their children, with their wives. Tomorrow we arrive at the club for recovery; those who did not play will do specific work, rest, sleep at home again and on Saturday again to concentrate. We will do a very simple job, the game plan, corrections and we will be ready for Sunday"

"The great advantage, as you say, is that we are in Mexico City. CU is a great stadium, we experienced a wonderful final and playing it there and winning it there is going to be wonderful for us. It is a very important memory and we will surely become champions there," he concluded.
