After the departure of Ricardo Ferretti from Tigres, the weight fell on Miguel Herrera . “El Piojo” had already been questioned by a couple of friendly matches led by the Mexican team . Now there is more to criticize the strategist. After a difficult start in Liga MX, Tigres suffered their first international failure in the Herrera era after being beaten 3-0 by Seattle Sounders for the Leagues Cup .
Obviously, the Aztec team had multiple absences on his staff and, among them, that of André Pierre Gignac . However, it seemed that it could be enough to overcome the whole of the MLS. Without the starting players on the court, the Mexican team ended up on their knees against Seattle at Lumen Field.
The North American team was very forceful in the face of goal. Of the five shots they had within the three sticks, three culminated within the goal. The goals from Seattle were converted by Raúl Ruidiaz, Freddy Montero and Nicolás Lodeiro . In this sense, Tigres is left out in the semifinals of the tournament and the murmurs around Miguel Herrera begin.
And with Tigres, 4 games were enough to be eliminated in the 4th of the Leagues Cup Final # Louse Out

Miguel Herrera and his impressions after the defeat of Tigres
“El Piojo” issued his statements after the match for the Leagues Cup. In the first instance, the Mexican strategist was self-critical and listed some facets of the game that the team must polish to improve. However, Herrera also gave a quota of responsibility to the arbitration and indicated that the judges arrive predisposed so that the Aztec clubs do not transcend in international competitions.
“We are stopping doing things on the court, stop running and they don’t stop, they took advantage of our mistakes, there were more attempts, if there is no intensity, I’ll play with those who are intense. that he does not run in this team, he will not play, if we want the team to be dynamic, we have to run (…) the referees do not like that the Mexicans win, the Panamanians they always bring something against the Mexican clubs and the Mexican National Team ”, expressed the strategist.
