'We have our way of supporting the team' - Chivas groundskeeper has field in top condition for final

The man responsible for keeping the Estadio Chivas field maintained is proud of the work he and his team have put in during the run to the title.

You won't hear Jose Maria Aldrete Gonzalez's name mentioned in coverage of Sunday's Liga MX final second leg, and he hopes you won't notice his work, either.

Yet Aldrete, the facility and turf manager at Estadio Chivas, has been hard at work making sure an important element of the match is up to snuff. Aldrete and his team are in regular contact with Chivas coach Matias Almeyda and his coaching staff and have the pitch at the facility ready for the occasion.
