Cruz Azul is currently going through a rough patch. “The Machine” has lost shine in the local tournament and on the continental level. Nicolás Larcamón began to be questioned. Andrés Gudiño, goalkeeper of the Cementero team, supported the Argentine strategist.
The drop in Cruz Azul’s performance began on March 15. “The Machine” was a team that reached that date with 11 victories in 12 games played. Cruz Azul is one of the clubs with the best presence in all of Aztec football. But the duel against the UNAM Pumas marked a turning point.
After drawing 2-2 with Los del PedregalNicolás Larcamón’s team has already accumulated eight games with a victory (including the duels for the Concachampions). Despite this bad moment, Andrés Gudiño acknowledged that the squad supports their coach.
“We support our technician. The Cruz Azul fans are very good but also very demanding. We are aware of where we stand. We are focused on closing this entire tournament”Gudiño said after pre-match training.

The vital problem of the Cementero team is related to its defensive aspect. “The Machine” has conceded goals in its last nine games. Without a solid defense, Cruz Azul will have much more trouble regaining ground in Aztec football.
Cruz Azul’s next game
For the penultimate day of Clausura 2026 (Wednesday, April 22), Cruz Azul will visit the Gallos Blancos de Querétaro at the La Corregidora Stadium. Querétaro no longer has a chance to qualify for the Liguilla. Four days later, Cruz Azul will host the Rayos del Necaxa at the Banorte Stadium. Necaxa could be eliminated on that last day.
“We are a capable team and we are going to face everything to get the six points“Gudiño said before the following Cruz Azul matches for Clausura 2026.
