Domenec Torrent made things clear after Monterrey's qualification for the semifinals of the Mexican Apertura. The Spanish coach assured that his compatriot Sergio Ramos isn't thinking about leaving the club, but rather about fighting for the title, after an intense match against America that ended 2-1 for the Eagles, but gave Rayados the victory with a 3-2 aggregate score. “Now is not the time to talk about all that. We must wait until the tournament is over. He is very focused on winning this championship, just like us; we saw that today with his performance. Now I'm focused on the opponent we'll face in the semifinal,” said Torrent, satisfied with the team's effort in a tense match. Monterrey suffered more than expected. America pressed from the start and struck with goals from Alejandro Zendejas and the Colombian Jose Raul Zuniga. Monterrey, who were reduced to ten men after the expulsion of Argentine Jorge Rodriguez, found some breathing room with German Berterame's goal, which proved crucial in maintaining their aggregate lead. Speculation about Ramos's potential departure at the end of the tournament quickly surfaced, but Torrent was emphatic: “It's all speculation. Nobody knows what's going to happen, not even I know what will happen to me.” Ramos also made a decisive play with a crucial sliding tackle on America's final attack. The coach acknowledged the opponent's merit and how they dictated the game. “I liked some stretches of the first half, but we needed to attack more. We're not a team designed to defend; we like to have the ball. But the credit in the first half went to America for being so aggressive; they didn't let us play,” he explained. Even so, Torrent highlighted his team's resilience, especially after going down to ten men. “I’m incredibly happy. We knew we had to fight until the end; we made substitutions on the wings, then came the sending-off, but we had the resources to score that goal at the end,” he concluded. Monterrey is already thinking about the semifinal.with Ramos as a role model and with the clear idea that the objective is more alive than ever: the title.
