0:00 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Ricardo ‘Tuca’ Ferretti, Tigres Head Coach:

“There’s a big controversy on whether we are representing Mexican football or just our fans, our club. By the comments I have seen- including learning from you (the media) – there’s a group that even wishes us to not win anything. Well…today we have won something. And I hope they keep on being wrong. But this is not something we worry about.”

(On reaching Club WC Final)

“It’s a dream, a wish… but to reach there, we must do much better than what we did today, so we can reach the possibility of being at the final. We know it won’t be easy. Nothing is easy. But I believe I have a group that is ready, that is capable and we will face Palmeiras with all of our will to reach the final – like them. “

1:25 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Ricardo ‘Tuca’ Ferretti, Tigres Head Coach:

“We know what Palmeiras are, what they represent at Brazilian football. They are the current (Copa) Libertadores champions. As a Brazilian, I perfectly understand what that means. But my players do too. And we will face Palmeiras the same way we did against the (South) Korean team (Ulsan Hyundai): With respect! No more, no less!”
