Next Sunday is the deadline for teams to have a full roster and at ESPN Digital we present you what their priority should be
Liga MX is just days away from closing registrations and squads for Guard1anes 2021, so the teams’ guidelines are working hard to place players who have not added minutes into this tournament to change settings in the local championship and also add elements where they suffered that in the first days.
“Panic buying” is the order of the day in institutions and therefore in ESPN Digital we summarize what each of the 18 teams needs.
Note: The teams are ranked according to their position before the start of match day 4. León and Monterrey have a match in progress.
Los Diablos Rojos lives an adaptation in several areas, and you need to pay attention to each of them so that the positive results continue. The first area in which they can incorporate another element is defense.
Although they have Rodrigo Salinas and Raúl López as side branches on the right, Haret Ortega, Miguel Barbieri and Gastón Sauro as central points, and Diego González, Diego Rigonato and Jorge Torres Nilo as side branches on the left; Cristante has experienced several combinations in the center and given the short time for adjustment, mistakes have been made that almost ended in a goal.
Likewise, another striker wouldn’t spare the scarlet, and although Paolo Yrizar has recently joined, the Mexican is young and barely adds two goals in his career. In addition, Michael Estrada is selected by Ecuador and one of the best battering rams in his country; injuries to him, however, are common.
The alternative to the two is Pedro Alexis Canelo, who remains at a good level and manages to play as ‘9’ despite the fact that Hernán Cristante now uses him as a winger. Meanwhile, the other forward is Enrique Triverio, who at 32 is not the same as he was years ago and his level has left a lot to be desired.
The lagoon team needs one more element in the attack after Julio Furch’s departure. The team led by Guillermo Almada have been penalized for injuries in other positions, but they also need to consider the depth in the squad in light of a possible downturn from their usual team in the starting eleven and have the tools to respond.
They have one of the best teams in the current Mexican soccer tournament, but they need to strengthen the defensive sector, especially in light of Miguel Layún’s apparent departure.
San Jose Earthquakes is seeking the Mexican’s help according to several reports, so the team led by coach Javier Aguirre and the Monterrey guideline can appreciate some more elements in that area for the remainder of Guard1anes 2021 to generate competition and compete for ownership .
They have shown the quality of their roster over the years and provided continuity for Guard1anes 2021, but if they had to strengthen a line, that’s the goal. Nahuel Guzmán is the starter of the team, but Juan Pablo Chávez remained in second place.
The goalkeeper, who was a member of the Mexican football league, is currently the replacement for ‘Patón’ while Miguel Ortega continues the recovery process due to an injury to his left shoulder.
The feathered ones depend heavily on what their budget is and the output they can give to players who don’t make plans, such as Sergio Díaz, Andrés Ibargüen and Roger Martínez. However, coach Santiago Solari gave a glimpse of his intention to keep Eagles’ ‘9’, who were reunited with goal in the final game.
The coach openly acknowledged that he needs an ‘8’ which would be direct competition to Richard Sánchez, who hasn’t had a great 2020 and his performance has been declining in recent months.
According to the good start that has had all its economic opportunities, the team only needs the attacker on the field who already has it in its ranks, but who comes out of an injury has not been taken into account by coach Héctor Altamirano: Uruguayan. Jonathan dos Santos, who could make his debut on the fifth date.
Pablo Guede’s credit is running out. The Tijuana team struggled to score goals last tournament, with Miller Bolaños and Ariel Nahuelpán missing at the last minute. In Guard1anes 2021, Mauro Manotas arrived at the border team to strengthen that position.
Regardless of the efforts, Xolos barely scored a goal in the tournament and that was thanks to Fidel Martínez, who returned to Baja California. No striker was present.
Carlos González’s departure to Tigres and Juan Dinenno’s recent injury have left Pumas with the unknown as to how the Guard1anes 2021 tournament will face up ahead of time, which is that there is confidence in the youth players on the one hand, but in the short term they need an experienced and proven ‘9’ in the highest league.
González and Dinenno were among the top striker pairs in the last tournament and together they accounted for 51.2 percent of the goals scored since the Argentinian’s arrival at the club in Clausura 2020 and until September of the same year.
While elements such as Emanuel Montejano and Jacob Morales are entering the base forces, these elements are still taking their first steps into the top tier of Mexican football and must step by step under the protection of the team veterans.
Nicolás Larcamón’s Strip has had other complex matches, two of them against the so-called greats of Mexican football and against teams with higher budgets than them, sparking the courage of the Puebla team reinventing itself in the transfer. market with additions such as goalkeeper Antony Silva, who has delivered great performances.
However, one problem that has constantly dogged Puebla is the lack of a goal and in the current tournament they have linked into it as well, as they have two annotations in three games and not everything is based on the attackers but also those who arrive. generating to the rival frame, mainly someone on the right wing.
Tomás Boy’s selection was inconsistent. They started with a big triumph at home 3-2 against Necaxa, followed by a resounding defeat to Pumas and then got no further than a goalless draw, but what is also clear is the ease with which they arrive.
They have to bet on a center-back and control to further protect their goalkeeper and thus provide the team with safety when it comes to moving forward.
While improvement has been seen in the defense, the Potosinos need a reinforcement in the center. The goals he has allowed are the product of neglect in the above area.
Another position they should lean in is the left side. While the young Peñuelas did it in a good way, a little more experience in that sector of the field wouldn’t hurt Leonel Rocco and his company.
The Machine only stayed with Jonathan Rodríguez and Santiago Giménez as forwards for Milton Caraglio’s departure and despite Bryan Angulo being signed to Liga MX, the Ecuadorian’s future is uncertain.
The priority should be a ‘9’ mainly due to the uncertainty that exists in the case of ‘Cabecita’, who wants to leave the institution and who was not called up for the match against Pachuca on the third day of Guard1anes 2021 due to lack of discipline. tournament in which the cement workers only add up one goal, which fell into a fixed stretch, as generating offensive moves is something that cost Juan Reynoso’s team.
The Rays need a central defense leader who balances coach José Guadalupe Cruz’s style of play. Goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón’s youth still needs a player to give him more support. The team conceded six goals in four games.
The Hidalgo team has decided to give continuity to its project of basic forces, which are gradually gaining ground among those the team has called up every eight days. However, there are two positions in which the club has suffered and it was noted at the start of the tournament.
The first is a left or end handlebar. Felipe Pardo arrived six months ago after a good move with Toluca, but since joining the team he has had ups and downs and has not won a fixed starting position.
He has been questioned at the start of the tournament because he has not weighed on the side of the field as expected and his physical condition is not a hundred.
The second position that the club should analyze is that of forward. The team still has a place among the ‘Unformed in Mexico’ to search for an element arriving in the place of Leo Ramos, who left Mexico in the still-present transfer market.
Mauro Quiroga came to Los Tuzos as the best bet, but at the start of the championship he clearly missed out on goal.
Based on the scheme implemented by Víctor Manuel Vucetich since he arrived in Guadalajara, the rojiblanco team needs elements that act as interiors. By not having players dominating that area, King Midas has placed several players in that position, but it has not delivered the expected results and so it becomes a priority.
The Braves currently have six reinforcements for this season, but Darío Lezcano has not found a partner to help him realize his potential.
The Paraguayan needs a player behind him to give him balls to reach the rival territory of greater danger. He has made it clear that he has the quality to be one of the most dominant strikers in Mexican football, but they need to surround him with more talent.
The Liga MX Champion has one of the best-balanced teams in Guard1anes 2021, although he has struggled to pick a starting striker since the last tournament. In the current tournament, the emeralds hired Víctor Dávila, but the Chilean has been unable to make a difference with the Panzas Verdes.
León has not scored a goal for two days and is far from the level of the previous tournament. Another position to improve is midfield, as Pedro Aquino’s departure weakened the champion in that part of the track.
The few facilities to sign players due to the pandemic changed the red and black team’s plans, leaving them with elements like Martín Nervo and Anderson Santamaría, who were ineligible for the current campaign due to their performance in the final tournament . .
The exhibits from both centers so far in the tournament have not been the best – Atlas has conceded five goals to be ranked as one of the worst backlogs – which is why the board needs to strengthen and “close that gap.”
