Sebastián Córdova fires shot at Chivas: Tigres are a bigger club | OneFootball

After rejecting a move for Chivas in order to join Tigres, Sebastián Córdova has explained why he made his decision.

In an interview on Televisa program A Nivel de Cancha, the 24-year-old took a parting shot at the rojiblancos, claiming they are not as big of a club as Tigres anymore.

“There were two options and I said: ‘I want Tigres’ because the club is bigger (than Chivas), the fans are better, and they always fight for the Liguilla here.

“Moving to Chivas would have been a challenge to try to classify based on how they have been in the last tournaments. Here, they want to win the championship.

“This year, I want a championship and to do things well. The opportunity was given (to sign with Tigres); we hold hands, we connect, and we are going to go after the title.”

Tigres reached the Liguilla semi-finals last season, bowing out to León based on seeding following a 3-3 aggregate draw.
