In the same way, he made it clear that America would benefit from a match in Mexico City itself.
“It is better for us not to go out, you avoid the whole issue of going out and catching a flight leaving the game, arriving at dawn, due to logistics it is much easier to play in CU and you go, you play, you come back and obviously on Saturday we will play in the stadium, in our house, and I think it’s easier“Stressed the sporting boss azulcrema.
