Cruz Azul and América changed coaches a few days before the start of the tournament and today they are fighting for the top
Cruz Azul and América do not slow down in Guard1anes 2021 nor with the load of weekend matches and later in the middle of the week – as happened on Day 9 – because both, with their respective styles, came out ahead again to continue as tournament leaders.
The teams in the capital, in addition to their winning series, also have the peculiarity of adding their technicians unexpectedly and, although often the forms cannot appeal, both Juan Reynoso and Santiago Solari continue to provide results.
Cruz Azul, with the victory of the minimum against Mazatlán, achieved seven consecutive successes to establish himself with 21 points as a solo leader thanks to Juan Reynoso, a technician who was not the first option of the institution and arrived a few days after the start of the tournament. .
The start cost La Maquina accumulating defeats and criticism, as they lost to Santos and Puebla, but Since then they only got victories, no one could stop them and they left five of the seven rivals to zero.
Now, With the playoff ticket virtually guaranteed, Cruz Azul has the perfect week in mind with three victories because he already had León, Mazatlán and now the weekend goes to Pumas, a rival that led to the dismissal of Robert Dante Siboldi with an epic comeback and, therefore, to the hiring of Juan Reynoso.
The story is somewhat similar to that of America. The Coapa team was eliminated by Chivas in the quarterfinals with three goals from Cristian ‘Chicote’ Calderón and later, in the CONCACAF Champions League, they were fired from the LAFC tournament amid a new Miguel Herrera scandal, which he led to finally the process of “lice”, even if they had just renewed it.
The Eagles started looking for a coach and in a few days they surprised with the appointment of Santiago Solari when the tournament was about to start. His arrival was so untimely that they did not even have time to keep their papers in order so that they could be on the bench for the first match, but the victories were never lacking.
America remains unconvincing in its own way, but if it were not for the administrative defeat against Atlas, it would be at the head of Guard1anes 2021.
