One of the main tasks of Santiago Solari upon arrival on America was to improve the defense of The Eagles, that in the Guard1anes Tournament 2020 with Miguel Herrera It was one of the most goals in the championship. In the first six dates of the last tournament with the Luis, they had already received 10 annotations; now, with the Indiecito at the helm, they have only received 4 targets.
For this tournament it is America He had no reinforcements in the defensive sector, so Solari has worked with the same players Miguel had in the previous tournament. Thus, the Argentinian reinforced the work in the rear priority order.
Solari has found Jorge Sánchez, Sebastián Cáceres, Emanuel Aguilera, Ramón Juárez and Luis Fuentes among the ideal players to not let America score more than one goal per game. Nothing but Atlético de San Luis, Rayados, Santos Y Queretaro they once pierced the azulcremas nets.
One of the problems that the Indiecito improved was to find a means of containment that could make the work of the defense easier, with the young Santiago Naveda and with the Peruvian Pedro Aquino, something Herrera did not find Santiago Cáseres Y Fernando “Bear” González
So far in the tournament, the America has received 31 shots on target in the six games, and only four have peaked in the nets, in addition to the back having recovered 74 balls near the area they are defending Guillermo Ochoa.
