Luis Roberto Alves, better known as Zagueoffered his impressions of the season of the Eagles of America. The former azulcrema player is not satisfied with the management of the team. Zague considers that the Mexican team needs a restructuring.
After being eliminated by the UNAM Pumas in the quarterfinals of the Liga MX, Zague launched a controversial analysis. The former Mexican national team player believes that the club itself gave away the tie. The worst version of the team appeared during the entire André Jardine process.
“The way in which América gave away the game is unacceptable. America had all the arguments. I’m not talking about Henry Martín’s missed penalty. They didn’t know why they entered unfocused; superb at the beginning of both matches. There are the consequences. “America would have eliminated, I have no doubt, the Pumas team,” Zague said in statements compiled by Claro Sports.
Without a doubt this was not André Jardine’s best season at the helm of the Águilas del América. The cream-blue set He went to the Liguilla in the last place that granted tickets to this phase (eighth place). In the first round of the Liguilla they received up to six goals, a number unheard of in the past.
The international context was no different. The Águilas del América were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions League. Nashville SC of Major League Soccer eliminated the Mexican team. Zague considers that these results have been the product of poor management by replacing painful departures in the team.
“If we analyze, Yesterday we saw once again the worst version of América in Jardine’s time since he arrived at the club. With many injuries, with many adaptations, with many players who are not doing well, with players who left and perhaps were not hired at the same level or at the height of those who had left,” he added.
America’s solution
After having won a three-time championship in the Liga MX and almost completely dominating the last tournaments, America is going through an expected decline in its level. Zague believes that the solution to this present evil lies in a restructuring of the workforce. The club’s directors will have to take out their wallets so that the club can compete again.
“This America needs a restructuring important to be able to once again be a solid and competitive team in many aspects. At a football level it was very low compared to what is expected“explained the ex-footballer.
