It seems that Cruz Azul’s defeat against the Xolos Tijuana by a resounding 3-0 has had a deep impact on the celestial fans or at least in these last two days is what has been seen with the low demand for tickets in the electronic purchasing system for the return duel at the La Liga stadium. Sports City.

It is true that fans have gathered to show their support at the La Noria facilities, but when it comes to buying their tickets they resist doing itthinking that another of the famous “blue crosses” of the Celestial Machine could take place.

THEY ARE COMMITTED TO ALL THE SAINTS 😅

Unlike the nine home games in this scenario where the tickets flew in a matter of hours, now the acquisition of tickets for the important match of the second leg of the quarterfinals of the tournament Apertura 2024 does not even reach 45 percent of the total demand for tickets.

Obviously the blow that Xolos gave against a disconcerting Celeste Machine hit the fans’ spirits too hard. cement workers who continue to question the way in which defenders Willer Ditta, Gonzalo Piovi and Jorge Sánchez failed at the least expected hour.

The performance of the three defenders opened a sea of ​​doubts among the Cruz Azul followers. that in Mexico’s soccer world they have been the most beaten and reviled by the constant cement failures in the last 27 years, with the exception of the Clausura 2021 tournament where they managed to get the ninth star.

But the blow of reality last Wednesday that opened a whole series of questions after the depressing performance against the border eleven commanded by the Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio has opened the discussion on the curse of the super leader where Cruz Azul sets the tone with what would be its thirteenth time in history that it fails from the overall top of the competition.

But now there is speculation that the entry will be weak, unless this Saturday, in the hours before the game, the cement fans dare to play their last card in the championship by supporting their squad that made them excited with its great style and numbers on the table, but that can go the other way. back door if they are not able to overcome the three goal difference against Xolos.
