The former player indicates that Necaxa has lost its identity by selling its best footballers and not fighting for the titles.
MEXICO.- Ivo Basay hopes new investors can reach them Necaxa, invite people who have made an era in the club to work together, as the current team lacks red and white representativeness in the opinion of the now Chilean coach.
In interview for ESPN Digital, from Chile, Basay expressed his optimism that new investors in the Rayos could give the club a favorable change in every way, all the more in projection, as he notes that the years go by and he still does not have that identity that successful people from other times have ever given and that has led to achievements.
Considering Ivo Basay In addition to being a fundamental sports project, it is also essential that this combination of elements provide the opportunity for necaxists who have made history, such as the one considered the team of the decade in the 90s.
“If you are the most successful section of teams in general in the history of the NecaxaIf you take them as a reference, for example those of the 90s, when a large group was formed, something very important could come out ”, adds the South American coach, confirming that players were added in his time. without letting people go as is done now, “the levels have been raised until we have many select Mexicans and selected foreigners. They were able to carry out a sports and institutional project, which was economically feasible in the long run Necaxa be a team that makes a profit again ”.
The first attacker is of the opinion that the sports project should never be put aside at the expense of selling players because the situation gets complex, “unless a Neymar shows up to whom you can sell in a good quantity and then you can also a project. linked to the economic and sporting part ”.
To so Ivo Basay, who turns 55 today, was one of the biggest problems he’s had Necaxa, remove key players, instead of building a base of them so that every tournament falls into the league and with a certain nostalgia he points out that “How long have you not fought a final? In my five years at Necaxa we always qualify ”.
ANOTHER MODEL TO MAKE A TEAM LARGER
The former scorer adds that hopefully the new investors will change the working formula a bit and keep good players and instead of selling them, they will continue to strengthen the squad.
He then noted that within the new forms one must resort to necaxists who were victorious, ‘to people who were emblems, such as a Aguinada, a Ambriz, a ‘Beto’ Aspe, a Herrera ‘Knife’, anyway. Every club has its emblem players throughout its history and has them as a reference for the people, for the kids, for the fans. I remember Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, a man identified with colors, always traveled with us ”.
He is clear that “the fans would love to see their idols on their team, players who marked an era. For example, Jorge Campos in Pumas, Cardozo in Toluca, ‘Negro’ Santos in America or Zague, Cesilio de los Santos, Coyote in Chivas or ‘Vasco’ Aguirre, Hermosillo in Cruz Azul, Benjamín Galindo in Chivas, and so on. Much has been lost. There is very little representation in the teams ”and reiterated that his identity must be returned Necaxa, taking as an example successful teams from the institution.
Last, Ivo Basay He stated that he has never been to the stadium where he plays Necaxa, in Aguascalientes, nor in his facilities, as he was a symbolic player for everything he won in defending the Rayos, no one from the institution has ever called him to invite him to meet them.
