Cruz Azul and América changed coaches a few days before the start of the tournament and today fight for the top
Cruz Azul and América will not slow down in Guard1anes 2021 neither with the load of matches over the weekend and later in the middle of the week – as happened with Day 9 – as both, with their respective styles, emerged again to continue as leaders of the tournament.
The capital’s teams, in addition to their victorious streaks, also have the peculiarity of having unexpectedly added their technicians and, while the forms are often disliked, both Juan Reynoso and Santiago Solari continue to deliver results.
Cruz Azul, with the win at least against Mazatlán, had seven consecutive successes to settle for 21 points as a solo leader thanks to Juan Reynoso, a technician who was not the institution’s first option and a few days after the start of the tournament arrived.
La Maquina took the start by collecting defeats and criticism since they lost to Santos and Puebla, but Since then, they’ve had nothing but wins, no one has been able to stop them, leaving five of their seven rivals to zero.
Now, With the virtually guaranteed playoff ticket, Cruz Azul has the perfect week in mind with three wins because he already had León, Mazatlán and now the weekend goes to Pumas, a rival that exactly led to the dismissal of Robert Dante Siboldi with an epic comeback and thus the hiring of Juan Reynoso.
The story is somewhat like that of America. The Coapa team were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Chivas with three goals from Cristian ‘Chicote’ Calderón and later, in the Concacaf Champions League, they were fired from the tournament by LAFC amid another Miguel Herrera scandal, which he administration to an end. the ‘Luis’ trial, even though they had just renewed it.
The Eagles began their search for a coach and within days surprised with the appointment of Santiago Solari as the tournament was about to begin. His arrival was so early that they didn’t even have time to get the papers in order so that he could sit on the bench for the first game, but the wins have never been missed.
America remains unconvincing in its way, but without the administrative defeat to Atlas, they would be at the top of Guard1anes 2021.
