After obtaining the League of Champions of the CONCACAF, the captain of Tigers, Guido Pizarro recognized exclusively by ESPN that André-Pierre Gignac left his native France with the intention of overcoming every challenge that stood in his way in a mission that remains in force.
“Very good, I think it’s always a bit like what you see on the court. I think we all see it, the number of goals, how he plays and that but I always try to emphasize the way André is, the way he takes all this. , his adventure of coming to Mexico from day one, I think that from the first day he arrived in Mexico he had in mind to conquer all this territory that he told me one day at home and with this mentality he gets up day to day and work day to day “.
“I think it seems to me that what catches his attention the most or what has the most repercussions is that he feels French, having played where he has played, world championships and everything came with that mentality in Mexican football, in wanting to win everything, wanting to conquer everything with his football, with his humility I think this is not easy to achieve and I think it will take a long time for a person who comes from here to get to achieve everything André has succeeded “.
“I think that beyond what we all see on the court, highlight the mentality he has, the desire he has, that at his age and everything that has happened in his career is still rising day by day to help this team to continue to achieve important things, ”he mentioned.
The `Conde ‘is aware of what Ricardo Ferretti represents in San Nicolás dels Garza, a coach who came to make history and change the course of an institution that had problems maintaining the category.
“I see it with a lot of desire, with a lot of motivation which is what it conveys to us day in and day out, I think what has instilled a bit too, I talk to Tigers seniors, friends and able them or time ago when they face a team either Toluca in height or America and big teams already knew they were going to lose and from the arrival of Tuca and all this process, the people of Tigres today have the hope that we will be protagonists in all stadiums “.
“In every tournament he plays he is aspiring to the title and I think it’s a bit what he conveys, he has instilled it in this whole institution and the whole squad that every time the results are not given hurts but that has some positive thing that we have become accustomed to being in the foreground all the time or fighting for the maximum and I think that he has instilled it with his passion, with his way of working, with his dedication, he is 67 years old and more beyond all that he has achieved he gets up day by day squeezing the maximum and not letting us deviate on the path then directing until he wants because he is really seen with a lot of passion, with a lot of desire and squeezing every day more ” , he indicated.
For the Argentine midfielder his club can be considered as an institution of hierarchy in Mexican football, thanks to his successes in recent tournaments.
“For me I always say it, great because every time a Mexican team gets a positive result on their court or draws us and that, what these teams show when they win or tie already makes us great because the positions of the other teams towards Tigres makes us great too and I think Tigres will surely embrace these 10 years, these values that has led the team to get all these titles and will continue to do so over time, I think that Tigres can keep the line with these values, with this line of work I also think that Tigres will soon be without a doubt, without anyone being able to deny it, a great team “, he pointed out.
The Club World Cup is welcomed by Pizarro, who longs to reach the international competition with the best level as he will seek to return home with a historic participation.
“We know that Bayern (Munich) is today among the two or three best teams in the world and is surely a serious candidate or the top candidate to win this, we coinciding with Tuca we have the seed to have this enthusiasm, to have where to take us, to be able to compete, I think that our mentality must be to go to compete as we did in every tournament we played, to compete and reach the maximum regardless of the rival we have to continue with our mentality, knowing that it will be very difficult, we will have to have a very high individual and collective level, but with the faith intact and the illusion of being able to go to the maximum “, he concluded.
