Ignacio Rivero: We weren't worthy of representing Cruz Azul
Ignacio Rivero spoke to the press ahead of the match against LA Galaxy on the second day of the Leagues Cup. There, the captain sent a message regarding the 7-0 defeat in their debut in the competition. "We are responsible for what happened in the match; we were not worthy of representing the institution. We must turn the page and be hungry for revenge. If at some point we become champions, it's not just two or three of us, it's all of us; and if we lose, we all lose," he stated. Rivero emphasized the team's commitment to bouncing back in the tournament, and this Sunday he will be on the field to fight for La Máquina's first victory.
