The Chilean midfielder spoke after the Eagles’ elimination in the 2023 Leagues Cup.
América suffered an embarrassing and controversial elimination against MLS’s Nashville SC. When it appeared the Eagles had the upper hand in the penalty shootout, the central referee was called from the VAR stand to review the maximum penalty held back by Luis Ángel Malagón, where the Americanista goalkeeper can be seen taking the lead before the attack.
As a result of this decision, Jonathan dos Santos would miss his sudden death penalty, ultimately allowing the Americans to score the decisive penalty to eliminate América in the quarterfinals and continue to blur the League’s MX options in the international tournament.
After the game, Diego Valdés spoke to the media in the mixed zone where he expressed his desire to continue in the Coapa team, despite rumors that he had been placed in Old Continent football in recent weeks.

“I’m happy here, I want to stay here. My people know it, my family knows it, and I think they’re calm. If I’m happy here, it’s because the team, my teammates and the people here at the club tell me has made it known. So nothing, I stay and I stay here”, confirmed the Eagles’ ’10’.
Valdés reappeared with América last night when he started 63 minutes into the game against Nashville, having missed the last 4 games with his team, one in the Liga MX and three in the Leagues Cup. The Chilean is said to be the author of one of the goals of the game and it would completely change the face of the team when he entered the field of play.
