The nest is on fire. After the crushing defeat against Tigres, America is no longer, for many, the feared giant of Liga MX. In the most recent episode of Los Jefes Deportes, the heaviest analysis table on radio and streaming held nothing back: Is it time for André Jardine to step aside?
The program, produced by Nueva Network in alliance with QuéOnnda, ignited the debate with the participation of its stars: Álvaro “El Brujo” Morales, the man who dictates judgment in Mexican soccer; experienced strategist Ricardo “El Tuca” Ferretti, and analyst Dionisio Estrada.
America flying low
True to his provocative style, Álvaro Morales opened the broadcast with a lapidary editorial.
“Today, the way America has played is not a candidate for any title. Las Chivitas returned to their reality, but América’s performance is shameful and embarrassing”, said “El Brujo”, who now places Cruz Azul as the top favorite for the championship, followed by Toluca and Tigres.
Morales even launched a proposal that shook Azulcrema fans: the return of Miguel “Piojo” Herrera.
“Today América would have more blood and character with ‘Piojo’. Jardine’s time is over,” he said, criticizing the Brazilian coach’s lack of emotional intelligence.
Tactical analysis: A team in “reconstruction”.
Dionisio Estrada, for his part, broke down the defeat at the “Volcán”, pointing out that the team’s pace of play is “semi-slow” and that players such as Veiga and Dourado are not up to the level of revolution demanded by the institution.
From the dugout, “Tuca” Ferretti was blunt in stating that, with the exception of Brian Rodríguez, América’s forward line “does not exist”.
Despite the statements made by Andrés Jardine, who justified the slump by arguing that the team is in a “reconstruction” stage, Ferretti warned that there are no excuses for not taking the next nine points against Juárez, Mazatlán and Querétaro.
Pumas, Chivas and the future of Keylor Navas
The round table also addressed the current affairs of other major companies:
Pumas: The draw of the universitarios under Efraín Juárez was analyzed. In addition, controversy arose regarding the renewal of Keylor Navas, who has offers from the MLS while the feline club is only offering him a one-year contract.
Chivas: After losing to Toluca, Morales stated that the Rebaño “didn’t play at all” and that their fall from first to third place is just the beginning of their relegation.
Rayados: Discontent in Monterrey is total. Ferretti reported demonstrations by the fans against the board of directors after the loss to the Cementera.
