To the Argentine coach Blue Cross, Nicolás Larcamónhe had no other recourse than to come out and admit the blame for the terrible performance of the Celestial Machine in the defeat with LAFC 3-0 that put the cement workers on the verge of elimination from the Concachampions.
Because there may be many justifications for why the cement producers prioritized the 205th duel in the history of the young classic against América this weekend. and that the duel against the Dismal & Gold squad was not of interest to them.
But the board of directors and the cement fans were not very pleased with the great performance that the cement team made, which reminded them of one of their historic crusades, so Larcamón had no other option. have to come out and take the blame for another cross-over in the conference at the end of the game at BMO Stadium.
The resounding defeat put the celestial coach on the scaffold and according to versions close to the board, His future depends on succeeding in the young classic against Américaespecially because they have not won for a month, but especially because he seems to have lost his way and doesn’t realize which team he is leading.
The Argentine coach with his classic verse assumed that the defeat was due to the fact that his squad is in a trance of results: “We are in a trance of results that are not expected.”; In that aspect I am the valuable person responsible. Today we are second in the League and we have time for everything, but we can no longer afford this continuity of unfavorable results.”
Larcamón also said that the confidence is total for his players, that they were the least guilty of what happened on the field of play against a Los Angeles squad that took the game seriously and that gave them a review of the light blues with two goals from Venezuelan David Martínez and one from South Korea Son Heung-Min.
“The response has to be immediate, the trust is total; although today we were surpassed, we are on time for everything, We have to take charge immediately to respond and be able to face the outcome of the semester with the level of performance that allows us to continue achieving the objectives we set for ourselves.”
But compared to Larcamón’s words, it seems that the Argentine coach forgets the failures he has had against North American teams under his management, like the 7-0 against the Seattle Sounders in the Concacaf Leagues Cup and now this 3-0 against LAFC.
But above all, what worries the managers most is that the Argentine coach often seems like he is directing Puebla or León and that he does not realize that his arguments often sound baseless, because this trance of results has them without a victory for a month, when they beat Atlético San Luis and since then they have two draws and a defeat in the Liga MX, which now adds the setback in the Concachampions.
