Favorites another semester to keep the Liga MX title, the Eagles of America still do not know what it is to add a victory in the Closing Tournament 2023. In the three commitments they have had they have drawn.
The last one, from locals at Estadio Azteca, tied 2-2 against Club Puebla after going up on the scoreboard a couple of times, but there was no good marking or a ball coming from the defense. The response from the fans in the ‘nest’ was forceful: at the end of the clash they booed their players and coaching staff.
In this regard, at a press conference, coach Fernando Ortiz gave an answer to the demanding cream-blue fans that have accumulated several dry seasons.
Far from controversy and confrontation, with a calm and reflective tone (his hallmark), the Argentine strategist took the booing self-critically and promised that improvement will be seen in the coming days.
“I understand the fans that they can unload in that way, but I tell them to stay calm because the team always comes out to win. I understand your disagreement, this is the biggest team in Mexico “
Fernando Ortiz
Asked if there is a crisis within America, Tano emphasized that there is currently no such term in his team and the draws are due to the lack of concentration on the pitchmainly in defense.
“The lack of concentration or being unlucky… The two times they come to us make us (…) Back today we are paying dearly. You have to know how to recognize mistakes, ”he said.
The next meeting of the Águilas will be on Saturday, January 28 when they will once again face the Cañoneros del Mazatlán.
