The instability in the group made Víctor Manuel Vucetich use 21 different players to win against León
Víctor Manuel Vucetich lasted five days and needed 21 players to add his first victory with Chivas, in Guard1anes 2021. King Midas changed Herd’s range with each game until he found the formula for success.
The coach tried anyway, put Alexis Vega, put Oribe Peralta to play, turned to César Huerta, placed Alan Torres. He moved everything until he found a starting eleven that gave him his first victory in Guard1anes 2021, on the fifth day and in front of the current champion, León.
Out of the list of 26 players that Chivas registered for Guard1anes 2021, only goalkeepers Antonio Rodríguez and Miguel Jiménez, as well as Ronaldo Cisneros, Luis Olivas and José Madueña had no activity.
In front of León, Raúl Gudiño, the only player from Chivas who played every minute of Guard1anes 2021, was the key to victory, as two of his saves prevented the reaction of the green bellies, which boasted an undefeated regular phase of 31 games without falling home.
The other problem Vucetich has is defining his leadership. Of the six strikers he has registered in the MX League, the one who has played the most is Alexis Vega, who went on the bench against León, and the most prominent is José Juan Macías, who returned after suffering from Covid. 19 and played three consecutive games scoring goals, one of them against the current champion.
In defense, Guillermo Sepúlveda and Hiram Mier appear as the players with the most minutes, but against León, Tiba remained on the bench and his place was taken by Antonio Briseño. Hiram Mier did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch.
King Midas warns that Chivas’ starting eleven changes will continue, and after using 21 of the 26 players he has registered, he begins to define which of them should initiate each commitment.
