Ezequiel Unsain, the goalkeeper for Necaxa, spoke to the press about their upcoming clash against Tigres in the quarter-finals of Liga MX, highlighting Tigres as a formidable opponent with numerous strengths and few weaknesses. Unsain emphasized the importance of a strong performance in both matches if they hope to advance to the semi-finals.
In his remarks made in Aguascalientes, Unsain acknowledged the challenges posed by Tigres, noting, “We will face a team with many strengths and very few weaknesses, and we need to look for those meticulously. We work based on what the opponent presents and their recent behaviors, preparing to tackle all possible scenarios.”
He also conveyed a sense of confidence regarding Necaxa’s form, mentioning that the team’s preparation during their break since April 18 has positioned them well for this pivotal series. “The team is in good shape. The days we had after the regular phase allowed us to refine details for what will undoubtedly be a very important series. It helped us recover physically and mentally after an intense semester,” Unsain stated.
The goalkeeper recognized that while some might think a lack of recent competitive matches affects their rhythm, he believes the extra preparation time has been beneficial. “We are very hopeful about advancing as far as possible and bringing joy to all the fans who deserve it.
