On December 16, 2018, the car saw her drought in the MX League He was extended in front of his worst rival, America, but so far, Pedro Caixinha has reappeared to explain what has happened to the La Noria club since then.
Sitting on the Cementeros bench in that defeat against the Eagles, the Portuguese said so “At that moment and until that moment the team felt that oppression” due to the environment that surrounded the institution, which maintains a negative series of 23 years and counting without winning the league title.
“In the final match I think we missed it that will, that desire and competitive attitude to say “This is our chance to go for it”. What I understand and is a general rule of all is that the team was afraid of the scene“, he commented in an interview with WRadio.
“It was a war in Cruz Azul for power”
At the time, Billy Álvarez was still in charge of the team and the Cooperative, but conflicts of interest and power were notorious and affected the football team. A “Power war”, as he called it, which currently does not exist and gives footballers peace of mind and serenity to focus on the main goal.
“I can give you a comparison of the current moment and that moment (his stage as a club coach). At that moment we realized that there was a power war inside. Cruz Azul is much more than a club, it is a cooperative and there are other companies, it was obvious that there was a war, “he said.
“Today the players are calmer, the club is calmer as a company, because everything is already calm, the results take place as well. Besides the fact that there is no public in the stadiums, there are no fansThere is no outside of Noria, inside or sometimes that communication that went from the inside to the outside and that helps you protect the group. “
It should be noted that earlier this year, Caixinha was fired from Al Shabab FC after a five-month term. This came after their elimination from the Saudi Cup.
