Tuca won't show it, but pressure is on for Tigres in Liga MX semifinal

The long-serving manager has job security but will be eager to draw up a game plan that gets his club past its biggest rival in the Liga MX semifinal

Don't tell Tuca Ferretti, but the Tigres manger is under a fair bit of pressure heading into Wednesday's night's Liguilla semifinal match against Monterrey.

No, seriously. Don't tell him. He won't like it.

Rayados topped Tigres just weeks ago to win the Concacaf Champions League, matches fresh in the memory of fans all over the city that houses both teams. But when asked about that series, Ferretti wanted to remind questioning reporters about the series they won, the 2017 Liga MX final, which was decided with a Tigres win in Rayados' Estadio BBVA Bancomer.
