The Águilas del América hit the table on Saturday by winning with authority against the Red Devils of Toluca (5-1)a result that, although it consolidates them at the top of the Clausura 2024 Tournament classification, left André Jardine with the feeling that they still have “a lot to improve.”
The Brazilian coach of the azulcrema team highlighted his team’s mentality to win another victory in this semester that makes them increasingly better to face the Liguilla, but knowing that there are still some factors that can be improved in this regular season.
“If you ask me if we still have room for growth, I have no doubt that we do, because we work every week to improve with videos, training, and the players are increasingly more connected to the idea in general.”analyzed the Brazilian coach in the press conference after the duel played at the Azteca Stadium.
For André Jardine, having achieved this overwhelming victory was thanks to the concentration shown by the Eagles of America that they are facing these matches that remain in the regular round with a zero-error mentality that allows them to reach the postseason in the best way possible.
“A few games ago I spoke to the players demanding a level of attention in league mode, these games where you cannot make simple mistakes, you have to be at a very high level of attention, which wears you down, not so much physically and today (Saturday ) was a great demonstration of that aspect”said.
The South American coach also considered the importance of having been able to reach the top of the Clausura alone after 15 dates in which they have a record of nine wins, five draws and just one defeat for a total of 32 points, three more than Toluca, Monterrey and Cruz Azul.
“It matters to me, yes, of course, it always represents us in our ambition, it makes us proud to see that we are first, from that moment on there is always great ambition and work to stay, in such a tough one, a league that for me always has five or six teams fighting for the title”considered Jardine.
The technical director of the Águilas del América also highlighted the good path that his team is traveling in this second half of the season in which it seeks the two-time championship after having been crowned in the last 2023 Apertura Tournament.
“To be able to do this tournament as we are doing it again is to value, without a doubt, in 99 percent of the leagues, by points, we would be champions, here it does not matter so much, but it fills us with pride and gives us the certainty that we are going “on the right path”hill.
