America and Santiago Solari need a good team to aspire to the title, according to Jorge Solari, uncle and former Eagles coach
The Solari family name has a long history at the América club, Jorge Solari led the azulcrema team in 1997 and now his nephew Santiago Solari will be the new strategist of the American team.
Solari “Indio” spoke exclusively for ESPN and expressed his desire for his nephew Santiago to make Las Águilas a champion as he could not do in the late 1990s.
“I see him as a champion, I think he has great chances to become a champion, but this will only happen if he has the support of the board of directors to form a competitive team and if so, there will be great possibilities. Santiago has a lot of knowledge about national and international football, so hopefully there is no problem in being able to bring some reinforcements and build an excellent competitive team to be a champion and later everything will be in Santiago’s hands to make them to function and be able to reach maximum glory ”.
“We hope that managers can help and collaborate by forming a good team because the most important thing for a club is the board of directors, then the coach is responsible for the football part, but all this depends a lot on the players you have at hand. because if you have good players, it’s much easier, if you don’t have good players, it’s impossible to win. “
Jorge Solari ruled out that Santiago is at a disadvantage because he comes from abroad and denied that the pressure exerted by Club América could make a headache in the former Real Madrid coach.
“I think anyone who has played football here in Argentina can withstand the pressure from any audience, any journalism and from anywhere, fortunately you Mexicans are very respectful and have a much more enjoyable sports system for the public, here in Argentina Everything is pressure in any time and at any time, in this sense I don’t think there is any problem for Santiago, I hope they will form a good team and he can learn all his ability because he has it, I’m sure he can get along with the players, he can teach them and leave them something with his teachings, for football and for life “, said Jorge Solari.
Solari is excited about his nephew’s arrival in America, as the family will continue to be involved in Mexican football.
“I think it’s very nice for him Santiago because he is very capable and there he will be able to demonstrate what at that time he could not demonstrate in his previous stage as a coach and we hope that he will do it by taking out the American champion, He has a great opportunity in a great club like America, with all his fans, and for my part, I can only wish my nephew and America well, because together they can do important things.
“Mexico is a country that we love a lot and that we adapted very well, I was there as a player and later as a coach, I had the opportunity to be in Guadalajara, where I organized the lower divisions of Tecos, I I had several steps there in Guadalajara and the truth is that I was very happy. I think America is one of the most important clubs in all of Latin America and I hope Santiago can do things right there to show his full potential.“, Stressed Solari ESPN
SOLARI HOPES MARTINO TO TAKE MEXICO TO THE HIGHEST WORLD
On the other hand, Solari talked about the role of Gerardo Martino at the head of the Mexican team, Solari guided Martino in three different stages and considers that he is the right coach to take Mexico to the top of the international plan.
“I’m sure it can make them transcend, unfortunately Mexico has not taken the category that today, for example, Germans, Spaniards, Italians, Brazilians or even Argentines themselves, Mexico still does not reach those levels that when it qualifies for the Cup World Cup, then you have to fight for the title, I hope they will be able to change this situation and become a leading team in the World Cups. I am sure that, with the presence of Tata Martino, we can reach that international significance that Mexico has sought so much, because they have a very capable, serious and hardworking coach, who knows well the inside of world football, I really appreciate Tata Martino and Mexico, for us it would be a very important joy to see them transcend “.
