The hierarchy of America forces him to win all tournaments he attends and the Concachampions is no exception, which is why the words preceding the tournament’s debut are from Santiago Banos, chairman of the Eagles, by belittling the tournament, but Santiago SolariHe has experience with continental tournaments, understands the obligation and I have a full roster.
A few weeks ago, Baños assured the tournament Concacaf I have left nothing to America, so the priority is the Liga MX, in addition to pointing out the poor design of the calendar by the regional tournament, which is why they considered taking a substitute team.
“If you have to set priorities first, then it’s the competition and then the Concachampions are blown up, that’s a tournament that leaves us nothing.It’s only difficult for us with the logistics issue because the sports prize is not tournament related so it is not a priority and we have been thinking about going with an alternative draw.
“We have seen the calendar and it is poorly organized, Concacaf wants to shoehorn all its tournaments, a tournament like the Concahampions that does not bring you much and it is an obligation to win it, you only risk the players and the only beneficiaries. are the Concacaf, ”the executive had said.
Nevertheless, Solari didn’t save anyone. All available players made the journey to Honduras to start the road to the eighth and remain as the winning team in the solo Concacaf tournament.
Will be the Eagles’ first rival Olympiad, team that It was Cinderella in the previous edition who reached the semi-finals eliminating the Seattle Sounders and Montreal Impact, but that he succumbed to Tigres and they were awakened from the dream of the fairies who lived in Orlando, where the tournament was being played.
In Liga MX, the Eagles are the second-best team next to Cruz Azul, in fact, they are the only one to date They’ve already secured their place in Mexican football’s Fiesta Grandebecause no one can lower them from the first two steps.
Faced with this situation, the América de Solari can take the start of the Concachampions with more peace of mindas they have already checked the first goal in the League and now they can play the tournament without complications so that in this first semester of the confederation tournament they can seal the ticket for the semifinals, but before that, Olimpia will be their first step.
