Santiago Solari will try to mimic America’s style under the leadership of Leo Beenhakker, while also explaining that he keeps the pressure to reach the team.
Santiago Solari recalled in his presentation as coach of America the step that the Dutchman Leo Beenhakker had taken, who led Real Madrid and the feathered team itself in the 90s.
Through a virtual conference, Solari put his own stick to ensure that he wants to follow what Beenhakker did, who surprised Mexican football with the style of play he developed and led the team named after the African Eagles with François Omam Biyik and Kalusha Bwalya.
“Leo is a football myth and he has adapted to European and Mexican football. It is a cultural colossus and in a way reflects the diversity and richness that the country has and Mexican football takes pride in itself because it knows what it has and is aware of its wealth, ”he said.
Likewise, he reiterated that his first step in the Liga MX will be “adapting to geography: high, flat, diverse climate, long journeys. Hopefully we can achieve an America as good as that ”.
The former Atlante player said he does not shy away from the pressure of what America is, and recalled that He has already delivered on this demand at Real Madrid, where he has been at the forefront of the team for 32 commitments.
“We can’t live without pressure, we like pressure. The same goes for players at the demand level, players grow when there is pressure. The past should always be kept in mind because you learn a lot and you have to respect the past with a club with 35 titles, ”he said.
“It’s competing to win and to be protagonists. It does not necessarily go through the systems, as it is support and tools that are adapted to the players available, the moment they live, the rival, the time of the season, ”he stated.
