CHICAGO FIRE MEDIA CONFERENCE

Alonso Aceves

Press Conference

Q. Your time in Chicago, it's come along very well. I'm curious how you're feeling at this point of the season with the progress you've made since joining a few months ago.

ALONSO ACEVES: I don't know if I would say it's an advantage, but I think that I could say that in the last six games that we had in MLS, winning five, has made us feel comfortable and well with what we are doing, working throughout every day to manage or to achieve all these good results. Puebla lost their last game, but I believe that we have to work in the same way as if they were a team that was a leader in their own league.

Q. Just having played in México a little bit, do you feel like that there are some things that you can tell your teammates about a team like Puebla, and maybe also look at some of what they did against Minnesota and take advantage of that with the style and the way that you play?

ALONSO ACEVES: Well, at the end when we confront Liga MX, there are certain players that you know, certain players that could be dangerous, and more than anything, it's individuals because Puebla has changed coaches at the end -- at the end of things, I had never confronted them. I have never had a rivalry with him.

But the topic of individuals is a factor that can help the rest of the players saying that they are recurring and going to the center what they like to do, I can support them a little bit more on that.
