The “Vasco” decision has generated annoyance and controversy, because Chivas, Cruz Azul, Pumas and América They have requested the presence of their teams for the second leg of the league this weekendespecially Guadalajara, who loaned five players to Tricolor with the promise that everyone would respect the agreement.
In the questions that are handled, starting with the leader of the national team, the agreements are not respected and although it seems somewhat customary and that is what the Tricolor coach will assume, the reality is that The Mexican team has always been characterized by these types of controversial decisions.
The other teams ask for an even floor and This permit only shows that there is preferential treatment for the Red Devils even though it faces an international match, especially because all the clubs agreed to respect and with this decision, the matter goes overboard.
The absence of the Red Devils elements is due to the fact that they will play with their team against LAFC in the other semifinal of the Concachampions. without respecting the agreement of the Liga MX clubs that all teams should give up their players without them participating in the Mexican soccer league.
But as always happens in Aztec football, the laws are too flexible and with many interpretations, since they never mentioned that they could not participate in any match of any kind. And from there Toluca grabbed its two players selected for this key commitment in the Concachampions..
Except for this inconvenience, the group of ten players that must appear is made up of the goalkeepers Raúl “Tala” Rangel and Carlos Acevedo; Defenses: Luis Romo, Israel Reyes; Midfielders: Erik Lira, Brian Gutiérrez, Gilberto Mora, Roberto Alvarado; Forwards: Guillermo Martínez and Armando González.
