“Some Hiring Have Been Complicated”
Eduardo Berizzo, coach of León, addressed the media about their signing process in the MX League, noting four new faces: Valentín Gauthier, Paolo Medina, Fernando Beltrán, and Gael García.
“We have taken our time to choose wisely. Some hiring have encountered regulatory challenges. However, we are committed to finding quality players,” Berizzo stated.
He added that “time is of the essence with the championship already underway, but we don’t want to rush our decisions. Our focus is on smart and effective recruitment.”
On the flip side, Chivas is aiming for a strong showing in the Opening 2025 tournament, particularly after a disappointing run in the last championship where they fell short in the initial phase.
León is eager for their inaugural triumph in the latter half of 2025, especially after a disappointing loss to Atlético San Luis, which raised several questions about their abilities and Berizzo’s strategy.
This match marks the second day of the MX League, where both teams look for their first victory. One team coming off a home loss and the other finally stepping onto the pitch for their inaugural match.
Good morning! This is the live coverage of the match between León Club and Chivas de Guadalajara, taking place during the second round of the Opening 2025 tournament at the Nou Camp stadium in León.
