The Mexican national team were given time away
from training as their national championship back in Mexico reached a
climax.
The 10am training session was scrapped so that the squad could concentrate on
America's title showdown with Necaxa.
After America's victory, some players were left to celebrate for their
club-mates.
"I suffered a lot watching the game on television but I am really happy
now," said America star Luis Hernandez.
"I'm happy for the championship but sad because I wasn't there," added
team-mate German Villa.
When training resumed later in the day Alberto Rodriguez and Rafael Garcia
returned to the fray.
"I'm really optimistic. They worked fine, and now I have almost all the
players ready," said Mexico coach Javier Aguirre.
"The doctors told me to play normally, and I felt no pains. I guess I will be
right for the opener," added Garcia.
"I am perfectly fine. I was shooting with the ball and I had no fear. I can't
wait to play," claimed Rodriguez.
