CHICAGO FIRE MEDIA CONFERENCE

August 3, 2023

Jairo Torres

Press Conference

Q. How do you see the match tomorrow?

JAIRO TORRES: It's going to be as strong, a difficult competitive game. We know the quality of the players of America, and we also are playing at home and we have to make that count.

Q. At the end of the game from Puebla, we asked Shaqiri that he knows that he's looking forward to the game against America, in the locker room with your friends, what are you talking about in this game -- for this game?

JAIRO TORRES: We are commenting on a lot of things. I, for example, I know the majority of the players from there, how they play, what movements, trying to give advice and I try to help with the things that I know, I try to counsel them on that because I played with them or against them, and I think I can help my teammates. We talk about the fact that they are a rival that is very difficult but we want to get ahead.

Q. How do you feel playing a stadium full of fans from Club America?

JAIRO TORRES: It's a little bit uncomfortable because we are at home, and it being filled by fans from the other team doesn't feel so good but we take it in the best way. It is an important game for us, and to make us happy and make our family happy and the fans of Chicago.
