After winning the CONCACAF Champions League, Tigres captain Guido Pizarro recognized exclusively for ESPN André-Pierre Gignac left his native France with the intention of overcoming every challenge that arose in a mission that continues to exist.
“Very well, I think we always see something of what is seen on the field, I think we all see it, the number of goals, the way he plays and that, but I always try to emphasize the way André is, the way to take all this, his adventure to come to Mexico from the first day, I think from the first day he arrived in Mexico he intended to conquer all this territory that he told me one day at home and with that mentality rises day by day and it works day by day ”.
“I think it seems to me that what attracts his attention the most or what has the most repercussions is that he was French, after playing where he played, world championships and everything came with that mentality in Mexican football. , to want to win everything, to want to conquer everything with his football, with his humility, I think it is not easy to achieve and I think it will take a long time for a person who comes from there to achieve everything that André has achieved ” .
“I think that beyond what we all see on the field, you highlight the mentality he has, the desire he has, that at his age and everything that happened in his career continues to grow day by day to help this team continue achieving important things “, he mentioned.
“Conde” is aware of what Ricardo Ferretti represents in San Nicolás de los Garza, a coach who came to make history and change the course of an institution that had problems maintaining the category.
“I see him with a lot of desire, with a lot of motivation, what he transmits to us every day, I think that what he breathed a little, I talk to wonderful people from the Tigers, friends and capable of them or some time ago when they went when facing a team either Toluca in height or America and the big teams already knew that they would lose and from the arrival of Tuca and all this process, the people of Tigres today have the illusion that we will be protagonists in all stadiums “.
“In every tournament he plays, he is an aspirant for the title and I think that’s what he conveys, he instilled in this institution and the whole team that every time there are no results, it hurts, but that has something positive that we are used to him always being in the forefront or fighting for the maximum and that I think he instilled his passion, with his way of working, with his devotion, he is 67 years old and beyond everything he has achieved is He rises day by day pushing the maximum and not letting us deviate on the road and then direct until he wants because he is really seen with a lot of passion, with a lot of desire and pushing more every day “, he indicated.
For the Argentine midfielder, his club can be considered an institution of hierarchy in Mexican football, thanks to his achievements in recent tournaments.
“For me, I always say it, great because every time a Mexican team gets a positive result on their field or we draw and that, which proves those teams when they win or draw us already makes us great because positions And other teams towards Tigres make us great and I think Tigres will definitely embrace these 10 years, these values that led the team to achieve all these titles and will continue over time, I think Tigres can continue to keep the line with those values , with that line of work, I also believe that the Tigers will undoubtedly be a great team in a short time, without anyone being able to deny it, “he said.
The Club World Cup is welcomed by Pizarro, who hopes to reach the international tournament with the best level, as he will seek to return home with a historic participation.
“We know that Bayern (Munich) is today among the two or three best teams in the world and is certainly a serious candidate or the biggest candidate to win this, we agree with Tuca, we have a team that has that illusion, to have control, to be able to compete, I think our mentality must be to go and compete as we did in every tournament we play, to compete and reach the maximum, regardless of the rival we have to continue with our mentality, knowing that it will be very difficult, we will have to have a very high individual and collective level, but with intact faith and the illusion of being able to do well “, he concluded.
