Cruz Azul, Monterrey and Puebla will be able to sleep peacefully with the requirement to comply with the 1000 minutes dictated the minor rule 11/20 and where the three aforementioned squads benefited from the participation of several of their players in the past Under 20 World Cup that was played in Guanajuato.
In the case of Cruz Azul, the players in question who were used in the World Cup qualifiers They are Mateo Levy and Amaury Morales, who according to the reservations established by this normal competition regulation of the Apertura 2024 tournament in the section on the participation of minors, with the simple fact of adding 180 minutes in the Liga MX competition , they would record a total of 780 minutes of the 1000 they require in order not to be penalized with the loss of three points.
The same thing happened with the Rayados de Monterrey with the participation of the young man César Garza which will represent the squad led by Argentine Martín Demichelis with 500 minutes of this well-known rule to support the renewal of Liga MX teams.
While Puebla will receive the 320 extra minutes with the participation of the 180 minutes of defender José Pachuca, who has been given the opportunity by coach José Manuel de la Torre and which represents an achievement for the side’s team with the complications it is going through at the bottom of the table.
Maybe for the rest of the teams This exception to the minor rule on which Cruz Azul, Monterrey and Puebla have relied, to recover the lost ground that they had in the minute accumulation table, it has not been very pleasing, but no one can be surprised, since this option was proposed from the beginning and was approved by all the teams in the highest soccer circuit from Mexico.
