Chicharito, Mexico players backing Chepo

“A player is always at the coach’s order, we’d die for the national team and the coaching staff,” said Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez after the game, going on to explain that El Tri is a long way from where it wants to be.
Captain Francisco “Maza” Rodriguez pointed out that recent poor form is not just the coach’s fault, but also that of the players.
“We too are responsible on the field, not just Chepo, but he has confidence in us, as we do in him,” stated the former Stuttgart player.
Andres Guardado was another senior player coming out in support of De la Torre, who is far from a popular figure with fans after just one win in 11 games during 2013.
“We all trust in his work and we all have confidence in the process we are going through,” said the Valencia player.
