Beyond that Blue Cross and Pumas de la UNAM with their arguments did what was necessary to place themselves in the grand final of the Clausura 2026 tournament, the coach of América, Chivas and León, Ignacio Ambriz, He assured that the “Celestial Machine” is the team forced to be crowned.
Ambriz’s statement was made in another edition of the program “Further Time” produced by The Opinion and was based on the time that the cement team already has to work under the bases of a project that has flirted with the title since its projection began under the command of Argentine Martín Anselmi.
“If it is out of obligation, I feel that it is Cruz Azul. Because it is a team that is not from now, but that comes from behind with Anselmi and that did a good job, where the truth is “That his team played good football and that they were on the verge of achieving a championship.”
In his analysis, Ambriz went further: “It is a team that has had a lot of football experience. It has incorporated a few players that have allowed it to continue growing. I feel that it is Cruz Azul out of obligation.”
While the Pumas of the UNAM stated that: “Today I think that Pumas must show us that they are a great team and they cannot be forced so much, because it is simply only the second tournament under the command of Efráin Juárez”.
“Even Efraín at first seemed like things were not working out for him. Later, the team straightened out and today they are in the final in a very short time, when it is not easy to get a team to play in a final. That’s why I think it’s going to be a very even duel, with everyone having their own style, but a very even duel.”.
Knowing these needs of the finals, both in his time playing with Necaxa and later as a coach with León, Ambriz explained that: “You have to win the finals. Sometimes the show you have given throughout the tournament is a little left asidebecause if you don’t manage to be champion, it will have been of no use; It has happened to me many times that it is of no use if you do not win the crown, because what matters is lifting the trophy.”
