00:00So this sets the stage for my question, is there any chance, Chivas, that Juarez does la hombrada and eliminates the best team in Mexican football right now?
00:10I mean, we saw that in the NWSL, right?
00:13Got them, got the title being in eighth place.
00:16Now we could probably see Juarez making the final because Chivas is going to take it.
00:32And not only that, not only are they in eighth place, but look, this is a club with border town identity.
00:40Investors from El Paso, investors from Juarez.
00:43It shows in their squad.
00:46But also, this is a team in the league since only 2019 and have been in survival mode since then, barely clinging on.
00:53So, hey, if there's anybody who's like an eighth seed team going into a playoffs, I feel like it's Juarez who've been perpetually in like, please, let's just stay in mode for the last like six, five seasons.
01:05Hey, I feel like it's Juarez.
01:06The thing is that they have players that are having a second, un renacimiento, se podrÃa decir.
01:11First of all, un conocido de la casa.
01:13And one of my favorite defenders of MLS and now Liga MX, Murillo.
01:17The Colombian had an amazing game that allowed Juarez to advance.
01:23Also, Pizarro.
01:25Pizarro is playing at a high level.
01:26And Estupinan, a forward that, you know, little by little is becoming reliable, scoring quietly, scoring many goals every game.
01:36Now, Kami, tell me, please.
01:37What are the keys for Juarez to be able to, you know, to endure Mohamed's tactics and no other than the very best Alexis Vega, probably one of the most dangerous forwards in Liga MX?
01:53Yeah, I mean, going into this game, Juarez is going to have to double down on their defense, right?
01:58I think it's defense, defense, defense.
01:59And if Juarez plays anyway like they did this weekend, Murillo, like you said, a key player in that defense, I think they have a chance, right?
02:07I mean, listen, when you're going against a key player like Vega, who is on a roll, playing extremely well this season, you've got to shut that down, right?
02:15And you've got to keep the defense tight, compact, not let anything through.
02:19I think that's going to be the key because if you go attack for attack, I don't think Juarez has enough to get on that edge.
02:25Now, let's talk about the other team that we have here in Latination, Tigres.
02:30They have a different scenario ahead of them.
02:32It's theirs to lose, right?
02:34The opposite idea that Juarez has in this Liguilla, Tigres is facing a very disciplined, very surprising Cholos with the rising star of Mexican football with Alberto Mora.
02:47And like you said, another border town team that is building an identity that has a very, very loyal fan base that will go out, even though that America was able to use the puppeteer strings to get this game scheduled at 11 p.m. at night Pacific because they didn't want it to overlap with America's game.
03:13So if you play in America, you get VIP, but if you play, if you're Cholos or Tigres, you have to wait till 11 p.m. to play.
