Rubén González: Chivas Committed to Championship Victory
Rubén González, a midfielder for Guadalajara’s Chivas, has expressed the team’s clear ambition to secure a championship victory in the impending Liguilla of the Apertura 2025. The team is on the verge of guaranteeing a direct spot in the playoffs, with critical matches set to take place in the third week of November.
Chivas Aiming for Championship Glory
Chivas is focused on achieving success this semester. González emphasized their goal to become champions: “We are here to be champions and to bring joy to the club and to ourselves,” he stated. The team’s current form and morale appear strong, creating a positive environment as they approach the playoff stage.
Path to Direct Qualification
To secure a direct playoff berth before the Liguilla, Chivas needs to clinch its position in the 17th round. A significant match against FC Juárez could solidify their sixth spot if Juárez either ties or loses against Querétaro. However, if this outcome does not materialize, Guadalajara must at least draw against Rayados to maintain its direct qualification status.
Upcoming Challenges
This Saturday’s match against Rayados presents a vital opportunity for Chivas. González noted that facing a team of high caliber is essential preparation for their upcoming playoff challenges. “This match is our last of the regular season, but we hope it serves as a springboard for the Liguilla,” he explained.
Competition for the Goal-Scoring Title
In addition, González addressed the race for the goal-scoring title involving his teammate, Armando González. Currently, Armando is part of a three-way tie, each with 11 goals. “He has taken advantage of his opportunities and is competing well. If he continues to focus and work hard, he can score even more,” González remarked.
