Speaking ahead of today's match against Veracruz, Chivas Guadalajara manager Carlos Bustos admitted he remains calm despite a lack of results. "I'm calm," he said (via Medio Tiempo). "Of course you have to be a little worried because results matter. It's the king of football. Independent from that, the thing that bothers me the most is knowing what's going to happen and not being able to resolve it. In that regard, we need to be more alert and see what the opposition doesn't have in a situation so we don't lose."
Chivas can put that tactic to work in Veracruz this evening.
