The reference point for America considered that the board led by Santiago Baños does not have the capacity to bring players like Cuauhtémoc, Biyik or Cabañas.
MEXICO CITY – In July 2019, Giovani Dos Santos was announced as America’s star reinforcement for that year’s Apertura tournament, however, since his arrival in Coapa, the striker has not been able to recover due to multiple physical problems. -they attacked when passing through Coapa. Faced with this situation, the American legend Juan Antonio Luna explained ESPN that the arrival of Dos Santos was a big mistake of the council that all fans pay now.
“Giovani came from MLS Galaxy and did nothing, people in America bought a pretty bad product. E.g, If you see a crashed car, you won’t buy it, it makes sense, but in the end America did.We know that in football now there is a lot of business, you can buy a collapsed car as if it were new because you know you will make a profit, if it is a business for some people, then you can say that it was good that it arrived, but if you are going to do things to bring a player that makes a difference in America then You can’t buy a crashed car like Giovani Dos Santos, because we have all seen their poor performance on the pitch, “Luna told ESPN.
The former player also added that Giovani’s arrival was due to a business of promoters that exceeded the real needs of Club América.
“These are hirings that are done through a promoter, if you look for the news a little back in time, you will realize that Giovani started to be promoted, appeared in Miami and is supposed to have met the club’s leaders there and then already appeared in America .
“There are things that people make happen, but in reality we’ve all seen Giovani’s performance, I keep the goal that gave him America’s triumph in the classic and then he was a player who didn’t shine as he should have brilliant in America “, continued Juan Antonio Luna.
“The people who are there in America are the ones who decide, we don’t know what interests they have in staying or leaving, the truth is that there is a terrible gap in decision making, because it is not known who makes the decision. Santiago Baños has no blood. Americanist, he didn’t understand what America is and he can’t have a healthy mind to know what player to bring. “
In the end, “Cabezón” decided that Coapa’s team cannot afford to bring more footballers who do not perform on the field, as was the case of Giovani Dos Santos.
“There is no one in America who can solve the hiring in a good way. For example, Santiago Baños has played for Atlante, Necaxa and Rayados, so I don’t think he has the ability to bring in a player like Salvador Cabañas, like Biyik, like Zague or Cuauhtémoc Blanco, players who solved your game in one piece, it is a reality that there are very good players, but we do not know why they do not end up in America.
“If they want a spectacular America, they have to get a center to score goals, Salvador Cabañas scored goals until he fell asleep,” Chucho “Benitez as well and this is the sample, it’s not about the discovery of the black thread, you saw it in that moment and you realized how well America works, so bring in one of those players, otherwise you won’t be able to do anything, “Juan Antonio Luna concluded in a discussion with ESPN.
