Santos Laguna suffered another defeat in Liga MX, losing 3-0 to América in a match where coach Guillermo Almada did not celebrate his team’s goals.

I’m more concerned about what we’re not doing well on the pitch," Almada said at the press conference.
What did Almada say about his attitude on the bench?
Almada admitted that he enjoys goals only briefly, as his priority is his players’ performance. "I try to support the players, but the reality is I don’t enjoy it much. I care more about them continuing to play with the same intensity," he added. The coach also acknowledged that América had a poor first half against Santos but improved in the second.
