Next Sunday is the deadline for teams to have a complete list and at ESPN Digital we present to you what should be their priority
The MX League is just a few days away from closing registrations and teams for Guard1anes 2021, so team directives are working hard to place players who have not added minutes to this tournament to change local league institutions and add items where they suffered in the first days.
“Panic buying” is the order of the day in institutions and therefore in ESPN Digital we recap what each of the 18 teams needs.
Note: Teams are placed according to their position before the start of the 4th day. León and Monterrey have a game on hold.
Los Diablos Rojos is experiencing an adaptation in several areas and you need to pay attention to each of them so that the positive results continue. The first area where I can incorporate another element is defense.
Although they have Rodrigo Salinas and Raúl López as right-backs, Haret Ortega, Miguel Barbieri and Gastón Sauro as central defenders and Diego González, Diego Rigonato and Jorge Torres Nilo as left-backs; Cristante experienced various combinations in the center and given the short time for adaptation, there were errors that almost ended in a goal.
In the same way, another striker would not spare the scarlets and, although Paolo Yrizar recently joined, the Mexican is young and barely adds two goals in his career. In addition, Michael Estrada is selected by Ecuador and one of the best rams in his country; however, injuries to him are common.
The alternative to these two is Pedro Alexis Canelo, who remains at a good level and knows how to play as “9”, despite the fact that Hernán Cristante uses him as a wing right now. Meanwhile, the other striker is Enrique Triverio, who at 32 is not the same as years ago and his level has left much to be desired.
The lagoon team needs another attacking element after Julio Furch leaves. The team led by Guillermo Almada was punished for injuries in other positions, but they must also think about the depth of the team in the face of a possible recession in their usual team in the starting eleven and have the tools to respond.
They have one of the best teams in the current Mexican football tournament, but they have to strengthen the defensive sector, especially in the face of the apparent departure of Miguel Layún.
The San Jose earthquakes, according to various reports, seek the services of the Mexican, so the team led by coach Javier Aguirre and the Monterrey board could appreciate a little more element in that area for the rest of Guard1anes 2021 to generate competition and compete for property.
They have shown the quality of their team in recent years and given it continuity for Guard1anes 2021, but if it should have strengthened any line, that is the goal. Nahuel Guzmán is the starter, but Juan Pablo Chávez is second to none.
The goalkeeper, who was a member of the Mexican Football League, is currently the replacement for “Patón”, as Miguel Ortega continues the recovery process due to an injury to his left shoulder.
Those with feathers depend a lot on their budget and the results they can offer to players who do not fit into plans like Sergio Díaz, Andrés Ibargüen and Roger Martínez. However, coach Santiago Solari showed a look at his intention to keep the Eagles ‘9’, which in the last game was reunited with the goal.
The coach openly admitted that he needs an “8”, which would be a direct competition for Richard Sánchez, who did not have a great 2020 and his performance has decreased in recent months.
According to the good start that already had its economic possibilities, the team only needs that striker on the field that it already has in its ranks, but coming out of an injury was not considered by coach Héctor Altamirano: Uruguayan Jonathan dos Santos, who could make his debut in the fifth meeting.
Credit for Pablo Guede is running out. Tijuana struggled to score goals in the last tournament, with Miller Bolaños and Ariel Nahuelpán missing at the last minute. In Guard1anes 2021, Mauro Manotas arrived at the border team to strengthen this position.
Regardless of the efforts, Xolos barely has a goal in the tournament and it was thanks to Fidel Martínez, who returned to Baja California. No attackers were present.
Carlos González’s departure to the Tigres and Juan Dinenno’s recent injury have left the Pumas with the unknown of how to face the Guard1anes 2021 tournament ahead, namely that, on the one hand, there is confidence in the youth players, but in in the short term, they need an experienced and proven “9” in the biggest competition.
González and Dinenno were among the best pairs of strikers in the last tournament and covered 51.2 percent of the goals from the Argentine’s arrival at the club in the 2020 Clausura until September of the same year.
Although elements such as Emanuel Montejano and Jacob Morales are joining the grassroots, these elements are still taking their first steps in the highest category of Mexican football and must go step by step under the shelter of the team’s veterans.
Nicolás Larcamón’s streak had other complex matches, two of them against the so-called bigs of Mexican football and against teams with bigger budgets than them, which lifts the spirit in the Puebla team which, again, reinvented itself in the transfer market. additions such as goalkeeper Antony Silva, who provided wonderful performances.
However, a problem that has constantly haunted Puebla is the lack of a goal, and in the current tournament they have limped in it, because in three games they have two annotations and not everything is based on strikers, but also on those who generate arrivals at rival frame, mainly someone on the right wing.
Tomás Boy’s team was not consistent. They started with a great 3-2 victory at home against Necaxa, followed by a resounding defeat against Pumas and then did not go beyond the goalless draw, but what is clear is the ease with which they reach.
They have to bet on a central defender and a control to further protect their goalkeeper and thus provide security to the team when it comes to going forward.
Although there was an improvement in the defense, the Potosinos needed a reinforcement in the center. The purposes he allowed himself were the product of neglect in the area mentioned above.
Another position to lean on is the left side. Although the young Peñuelas did it in a good way, a little more experience in that sector of the field would not hurt Leonel Rocco and his company.
The car was left with only Jonathan Rodríguez and Santiago Giménez as strikers before Milton Caraglio left, and despite the fact that Bryan Angulo is registered in the MX League, the Ecuadorian’s future is uncertain.
The priority should be rather a “9”, due to the uncertainty that exists in the case of “Cabecița”, who wants to leave the institution and who was not summoned due to indiscipline for the match with Pachuca on the third day of Guard1anes 2021, a tournament in which the cement workers add only one goal, which fell into a set, because the generation of offensive games is something that cost Juan Reynoso’s team.
Rays need a central defense that balances the style of play that coach José Guadalupe Cruz boasts. The youth of goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón still needs a player to give him more support. The team guaranteed six goals in four matches.
Team Hidalgo decided to continue their basic forces project, which is slowly gaining ground among those invoked by the team every eight days. However, there are two positions in which the club suffered and at the beginning of the tournament it was noticed.
The first is a left or extreme steering wheel. Felipe Pardo arrived half a year ago after a good step with Toluca, but since his arrival in the team he had ups and downs and did not win a permanent starting position.
At the beginning of the tournament he was questioned because he did not weigh as expected on the field and his physical condition is not one hundred.
The second position that the club should analyze is that of striker. The team still has a place available among “Unformed in Mexico” to look for an item to replace Leo Ramos, who left Mexico on the transfer market still present.
Mauro Quiroga came to Los Tuzos as a big bet, but at the beginning of the championship he missed clear chances in front of the goal.
Based on the scheme implemented by Víctor Manuel Vucetich since his arrival in Guadalajara, the rojiblanco team needs elements to play as interiors. Having no players dominating that area, King Midas placed different players in that position, however, he did not have the expected results and therefore becomes a priority.
The Braves currently have six reinforcements for this season, but Darío Lezcano has not found an offended partner to help him exploit his potential.
The Paraguayan needs a player behind him to offer him balls to reach the rival area with a greater danger. He has clearly shown that he has the quality of being one of the most dominant strikers in Mexican football, but he needs to surround him with more talent.
The MX League champion has one of the best balanced teams in Guard1anes 2021, although since the last tournament he had difficulties in choosing a center forward. In the current tournament, the emeralds hired Víctor Dávila, but the Chilean failed to make a difference with Panzas Verdes.
León has not scored a goal in two days and is far from the level shown in the last tournament. Another position that needs to be improved is the midfield, because the departure of Pedro Aquino weakened the champion in that part of the field.
The few facilities for signing players due to the pandemic changed the plans of the red-black team, so they were left with elements such as Martín Nervo and Anderson Santamaría, which were not taken into account for the current campaign due to their performance in the last tournament. .
The performances of both centers so far in the tournament were not the best – Atlas received five goals to rank as one of the worst behind – which is why the council must stand up and “close this gap”.
