Pumas coach admits team owes fans after goalless draw

Pumas coach Esteban Solari acknowledged his team's shortcomings in front of goal after a goalless draw against Querétaro, stating, "We lacked clarity to finish the plays." Over the 90 minutes, the team generated eight dangerous opportunities, but none resulted in a goal, leaving the squad feeling they owe a debt to their supporters.

Solari expressed dissatisfaction with the team's offensive performance, ideally wanting to create 12 to 15 scoring chances rather than eight. The lack of finishing clearly frustrated the coaching staff, players, and fans, contributing to a sense of disappointment over not securing three crucial points for their league standing.

"We are indebted to the fans and ourselves, because these are the points we need to qualify," Solari confessed. The team is currently dealing with significant absences. Sebastián Córdova suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the Leagues Cup and will require surgery, sidelining him for at least eight months. Álvaro Angulo is also injured, expected to be out for a month with a knee ligament sprain.

Despite these injuries, Solari emphasized that the team will not make excuses. His focus remains on finding tactical variations to ensure Pumas performs like a home team capable of securing victories. The coach stressed the importance of adapting and improving the team's offensive output regardless of player availability.
