After witnessing Juan Brunetta in tears on the bench, Tigres captain Fernando Gorriarán spoke out in defense of the Argentine forward who is currently facing a goal drought, having gone nine consecutive matches without scoring. Gorriarán emphasized the importance of Brunetta to the team, highlighting that he possesses the highest quality among the players. Despite Brunetta's struggle to find the net, Gorriarán reassured him of the team's support, believing that he will regain his form soon.

Gorriarán noted the frustration Brunetta showed when he was substituted during a match against Forge FC, calling attention to the pressure that comes with being a key player. He remarked that Brunetta had previously contributed significantly to the team's success, including helping them reach the finals of the last tournament, and expressed hope that Brunetta would recover his confidence and lead the team once again.

The comments come at a crucial point in the season as Tigres aims to perform well and compete for titles. Support from teammates like Gorriarán can be vital for Brunetta as he navigates this tough period in his career, and fans will be watching closely to see if this encouragement translates into better performances on the pitch.
