What seemed to be a simple complaint about the volley definition of the Tigres de la UANL players, It was the result of annoyance due to a ball receivedalthough also a product of the lack of direction in the shots.

“That’s where it started, you saw him upset. Follow the game, the training. But it wasn’t out of the blue he already brought a good madrazo“, he recalled.
