As you know, the statement is very clear: whoever does not come will be out of the World Cup, it is something in which we cannot be flexible in the least. I would like to thank the clubs, the owners who attended us very well, who provided us with solutions, which was approved, it is a project that has not been broken. Thank Chivas and Toluca, the first who was directly affected by the number of players, and the second is in an international tournament.
