André Jardine América’s coach has 48 hours to decide who starts in the axis of the Americanist attack between the Uruguayan Rodrigo Aguirre and Henry Martín in the first leg of the semifinals of the Apertura 2024 tournament between América vs. Blue Cross
The great moment that the Uruguayan forward is experiencing in the last games and the muscular problems of the Mexican team’s striker have the Brazilian strategist in a dilemma when it comes to putting together the American attack against the cement workers.
According to different credible sources around the Águilas coaching staff, they assure that the idea is not to change the tactical scheme that made Toluca look inoperative in the quarterfinal matches, whereAmerica won by a resounding aggregate score of 4-0.
Aguirre has taken advantage of the disadvantages of his teammate Henry Martín to take a leading role in the American lineup, as could be seen in the first leg against the Red Devils with a double in last week’s game at the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium.
This earned him the title for Saturday’s duel at the Nemesio Diez stadium. to the Uruguayan striker to give only a few minutes to Henry Martín, where he managed to cooperate with a goal and thus put coach Jardine in a situation of doubt to see if the Aztec striker has the right to start in the starting eleven.
Complete squad

There were certain doubts regarding the condition of the Uruguayan Sebastián Cáceres due to the way the game ended in Toluca, but everything indicates that it may be taken into account for the match against Cruz Azul, which makes América a high-level rival.
An idea of the probable alignment would be with Luis Malagón in goal; Kevin Álvarez, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez and Christian Calderón in defense; Alan Cervantes, Álvaro Fidalgo and Alejandro Zendejas and Brian Rodríguez in the midfield and Rodrigo Aguirre or Henry Martín in the attack.
YoEven at the last minute, it is not ruled out that the Colombian Cristian Borja He could take Calderón’s place, but the way the former Chivas defender scores could be the ounce that tips the balance in favor of the Mexican.
It should be noted that América will play at home on Thursday and next Sunday as a visitor, so in case of an aggregate tie in both games, it will be Cruz Azul who ends up advancing to the grand final of Mexican soccer.
