For almost two months there has been a rumor circulating that the players of America “made the bed” for Santiago Solari and they collaborated with a poor performance so that the directive dismissed him from his position. A source inside the team spoke about this with Miguel Ángel Arizpe, who writes for Milenio.
In the column “From the Angel” of the Mexican newspaper, the journalist exposed some data and phrases that he has compiled in recent weeks as part of an investigation into the “contribution” of the players so that their coach is dismissed, since in this tournament it has happened with the two most important teams in Mexican soccer: Chivas and América.
Referring in particular to the Eagles, Arizpe said that he spoke with a source inside the team, with whom he has had a relationship for a long time years, and explained the subject of his investigation, saying that some players are “cheeky” and even “playful” , since it is very notorious when after a change of coach they raise their level of play automatically and the team begins to obtain frequent wins.
“ ‘The one you want to play is a good song, but with us ros had reasons ‘, the Eagle told me, when they had 5 wins, 2 days before facing Tigres ”, the journalist wrote in his column.
Of those “reasons”, the one mentioned was simple: the attitude of the “Indiecito” was not liked by several members of the staff , since he despised them, so they did not have a good professional relationship with him.
“Santiago (Solari) He was a sucker, unbearable that he saw us less. There was never a great relationship, he did not stoop to being or talking to us. I understand what you want to write, and it’s good, but we got tired of having someone who looked down on us”, continued the mysterious member of the staff, of whom he did not want to reveal the name.
The columnist’s next question was direct and blunt, he launched it with the objective that the source confirmed the rumor that has been circulating for years, that players sometimes do not show their true level in order not to obtain good results and wait for their manager to be fired, who is the one who delivers the accounts.
“So the players do make the bed? With this you confirm it”, questioned Arizpe.
The source responded forcefully: “ Of course, bastard. Sometimes; it is not often, but it does happen”, he concluded.
Although the source did not want to assure him that the azulcrema players did this, it seems that the answer is more How obvious.
It should be remembered that America has six wins in a row and has climbed to fifth place in the table general. Today it is a serious contender for the Liga MX title, while under Santiago Solari, its previous coach, the team was practically at the bottom of the general table, occupying the 13 and with one of the worst streaks of his last years.
America is unrecognizable. It’s a different team, they play at a different intensity and depth. Is incredible. Solari left, Ortiz arrived and their problems were resolved…— David Faitelson (@Faitelson_ESPN) April 24, 2022
