The “Dog” Bermúdez attacks André Jardine

A controversy has broken out in the MX League over the minors ruleAndré Jardine has admitted that he disagrees with the application of this regulation. Enrique Bermúdez criticized the attitude of the Club América strategist.

The juvenile rule states that U-23 players must accumulate 1,000 minutes played by the end of the season. This rule has not been followed to the letter by the big clubs in Mexico like America. In the face of Jardine’s disagreement, “El Perro” Bermúdez believes that the Brazilian coach does not care about Mexican football.

“It is incredible that Jardine from America and Paiva from Toluca oppose the rule of minors; It is clear that they don’t give a damn about Mexican soccer and only think about their wallets, how do you see it?“, Bermúdez said via social media.

What did André Jardine say?

The coach of the Águilas del América strongly questioned the application of this rule. The Brazilian coach argued that a club like América is not there to develop players. The goals of the Azulcremas are bigger than providing young players to El Tri.

“Here we defend the interests of America. With all due respect to the Mexican team, We are not here to train players for the national team. At this rate, it will happen as a natural consequence,” Jardine said.

André Jardine argued that América is one of the teams that contributes the most players to the Mexican national team. The Brazilian insisted that placing young players in Liga MX is mandatory, It should not be a priority in a professional tournament of the prestige and level of the Liga MX.

“I think we are one of the teams that places the most players in the Mexican national team and many others, but not this issue, The issue of placing players in the national team cannot be the number one issue in a league “And I don’t think I’ve found anything similar in any other league in the world. So, I don’t think it’s something that’s right, but we’re adapting and trying to comply with this issue as well,” he added.

The Eagles of America still need more half of the minutes required to comply with this rule (they accumulate 477.6). The blue-cream team is the thirteenth team in the table of compliance with this regulation.
