Gabriel Milito assures that Chivas did not fail in the Leagues Cup.

After Chivas failed to qualify for the final phase of the Leagues Cup for the third consecutive tournament, the team's technical director, Gabriel Milito , assured that he differs from those who think his team failed .

“That's totally ridiculous. If only the winner counts, the form doesn't matter, only the champion is already there. So, there isn't a team in the world that doesn't fail. And it's not about failing, it's about competing. This is a sport where you have to compete and do it the way the kids do. We have to improve, of course, but whether or not we qualify is considered a failure is up to each individual, according to their own way of thinking,” he noted.

Despite not having met the expected objectives in this competition, he revealed that he was happy with his team's performance , although dissatisfied with the results.

"I think the team is improving. I liked the guys who played, too, so I'm satisfied with the performance. We weren't able to advance, obviously, because that was our goal, but for me..." he added.

In the end, he pointed out that the Leagues The Cup is very similar to a World Cup , because there's a minimal margin for error: "Obviously, I think mistakes are penalized in a very costly way. It's like a World Cup, for example, where you have no margin for error, but hey, these things happen in football. Everything serves as a learning experience," he concluded.
