Tuesday, April 6, at 9:00 p.m. (Central Mexican Time), Cruz Azul will make his debut in the 2021 edition of the CONCACAF Champions League against Arcahaie FC. The celestial ones made their trip to the Dominican Republic, because the game will take place in the city of Santo Domingo after the local team of the Haitian distribution moved.
However, for Juan Reynoso, the best thing would have been to postpone the Concachampions for the second half. “The recommended thing and what we would choose is to play this tournament in the next pre-season, not now, so it is played in Mexico. But I’m also on the side of non-Mexican teams, They need this kind of tournaments, you have to be empathetic. It is recommended not to play in April and May, but we understand that the other side needs Mexican teams, USA and Canada to reactivate football and make them compete again “, detailed
Regarding the rotation he planned for this meeting, DT celest explained the reasons why 9 beginners left for Mexico. “I made the decision to travel to those who played less, But, against any rival and any field on which Cruz Azul appears, we must respect the Haitian team; if he has reached this stage it is because he has strengths. We hope that they will not give us surprises, these teams surprise the biggest ones due to their characteristics, let’s hope that they will not hit them now “added.
“To be in a team like Cruz Azul, the present matters a lot. In this internal competition we value a lot today. We know it will be a tough game because of the weather, because of the rival, there are many things to play against, but we plan to be as rested as possible … We are preparing an edition for the boys, it is a typical team from the Caribbean, with very fast, strong players, who go very vehemently to split balls and we have to be smart “added Juan Reynoso.
But what does it mean to face Caribbean teams? For DT, once a Cruz Azul player in the past, it’s something new. “It’s a new experience. One who played in Mexican football, who had to play in CONCACAF, went to play in Honduras, Jamaica, places with a lot of heat, very strong players, there are new and different challenges and everything is added individually. It is not an easy customs. In football you can get hurt at home, they are urban legends. If we think about a different team, it’s because we want everyone to play more, to see when everyone is. The other one always takes care of you … I’m more worried about coming back, with all that entails. “, condemned him.
