The Atlas will debut their crown this Saturday the 15th at the Jalisco stadium against Atlético San Luis and, according to their Argentine coach Diego Cocca, they will do so without fear of what in Mexico they call ‘campeonitis’, a state of relaxation that causes bad results to the defending monarch during the endorsement of the title.
“I don’t believe in ‘championship’, I think there is an evolution”, said Cocca emphatically and pointed out that for the Foxes “the first challenge is not to lose our identity, not to lose our ambition, our hunger, that the team jump to the court and that he has the same mentality as before becoming champion”.
Atlético de San Luis will visit Atlas with the task of improving their forcefulness after appearing in the tournament with a 2-0 loss at home against Pachuca.
“We have to improve in many aspects, but the most important points that concern me are the lack of forcefulness in the rival goal and ball possession,” said Marcelo Méndez, technical director of San Luis.

Los Rojinegros did not reveal the names of those affected, but assured that they are asymptomatic and isolated.
