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.
00:20But no, no, definitely I do see Juarez.
00:23You know, they have a great team.
00:24We have mentioned that since the beginning.
00:25And it happens a lot in Liga Américas where the eighth place takes it all the way.
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 podría 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.
03:20¿Qué pasa con eso, Chivas?
03:22Ah, y luego dicen que no hay favoritismo.
03:24I mean, it's la gloriosa Liga MX, right?
03:27That's the kind of things that happen in the gloriosa Liga MX.
03:29I mean, no excuses.
03:31At the end of the day, they got the opportunity to play.
03:33They have the chance to play.
03:34Now, let's see how the locuras of El Loco Abreu are going to transfer into Cholos.
03:38We've seen it.
03:39They make the playoffs.
03:40They are in there.
03:41And Tigres has to be careful because Cholos viene con todo.
03:44They are very serious.
03:45And I love the coaching staff.
03:47I love the way Loco Abreu has been able to put his locura into the team with Gilberto Mora.
03:53The other day taking a Panenka.
03:54Now, we want Tigres to make it to the final because we, you know,
03:58we're on the final.
03:59We're on the final.
03:59We want to be in the final.
04:00And it's going to be against Chivas, right?
04:02So Nick and I can go.
04:04That's right.
04:05Get serious about it.
04:06I think it's going to be a great game.
04:07It's going to be a great match.
04:08I think Tijuana has what it takes to take over Tigres.
04:14That has a Javier Aquino that is playing his last games with Tigres.
04:17After 10 years, a player like Javier Aquino, he's on his final games with Tigres.
04:22Sad to see.
04:22Over 400 games with the team.
04:24Over 400 games.
04:25But it's something that happens in football.
04:26Let's see if Tigres is capable of having that advantage that I talked about earlier
04:32of La Hinchada right there at El Vulcan.
