Ricardo Peláez goes through a bitter paradox: the manager is going through a difficult time due to the fact that the Chivas do not run (they are in 14th place in the general table) and after losing the National classic with America he had to come out to show his face. While this is happening, it becomes Blue cross He is an overall leader and one of the serious contenders for the title with a team based on the project he owns Pelaez brought up when he arrived at the Heavenly Institute in 2018.
Ricardo He then joined Cruz Azul’s board Opening 2018The goal was the same as it was more than 20 years ago: to make the heavenly champions. For this, the cement dome decided to open the wallet and Pelaez was in charge of the search for young and level players who form the basis of the successful path of today Machine.
Since 2018, the celestials in every tournament have been tagged as favorites, even in that Opening 2018, they made it to the final against America, with a team that brought Peláez’s first reinforcements: Iván Marcone, Elías Hernández, Pablo Aguilar, Igor Lichnovsky Y Roberto Alvarado.
Defeat struck and they joined for the following year Orbelín Pineda, Misael Domínguez, Yoshimar Yotún Y Jonathan Rodriguez, although with the decline of Marcone, which to Boca JuniorsFor the Apertura 2019, certain areas were further reinforced and Juan Escobar arrived to replenish the defenses, in addition Guillermo Matías Fernández, in the search for a midfield that found no balance with the departure of Marcone.
It was also brought Brayan Angulo from Ecuador, that while he was not a promising candidate, he was a generation of competition at the forefront.
Both Pedro Caixinha, who was in Peláez’s time, and Robert Dante Siboldi, who arrived after the departure of both characters from the Heavenly Institute In September 2019 they had a good participation with a squad consisting of players who arrived since 2018 and other accessories.
For him Closing 2020campaign that was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Blue cross he was the leader for Day 10 and aspired to be one of the contenders for the Liguilla. The Mexican football hiatus did not diminish cement producers, because for the Guard1anes 2020, the resumption of competition, Machine always stayed with the top five places and reached the final stage by eliminating in the quarter-finals Tigers, but the semi-finals were the heavy crockery Cougars managed to beat them after a historic somersault of a 4-0 for the total of 4-4 and move up for a better position.
Essentially, the line-up consisted of Jesús Corona, Julio César Domínguez, Adrián Aldrete, Luis Romo, Rafael Baca and of Peláez’s sedan chair were reinforcements Lichnovsky, Aguilar, Escobar, Alvarado, Pineda, Rodríguez Y Yotún.
Really, Juan Reynoso uses those players after the draft Jaime Ordiales it didn’t quite work out with recruiting players. The Peruvian technician relies on elements such as Escobar and Aguilar, Alvarado is indisputably next to it Orbelín and Cabecita Rodríguez.
EvenReynoso has had an element of competition in Pol Fernández that has earned a place in the starting eleven and Angulo is a change that has earned him pointsWith this schedule, today Machine dominate the league and dare to keep breaking records, such as equaling the 10 consecutive victories that Raúl Cárdenas achieved in the 1970-1971 season.
And is that Box and Siboldi They also lived a good time when their respective teams had stats in their favor like defensive power or what to say about the scoring title they achieved. Rodriguez breaking an 11-year drought without any celestial player having this individual recognition.
Failed reinforcements
As with all planning, there were cases that were not as effective, such as that of Milton Caraglio, Andrés Renteria and Angulo himself, which was loaned to Xolos given the little participation it had under the command of Robert Dante Siboldi.
Today Pelaez he sees from a distance how the project he led a few years ago Blue cross bears fruit while he suffers Chivas.
