MEXICO CITY, April 20 (EL UNIVERSAL).- This Saturday night, the Clásico Capitalino will experience its 70th edition in the era of short competitions. Despite America’s impressive dominance, Enrique Borja – a historic player on both teams – sees an ever-increasing rivalry.
For some it is not, but others see Pumas vs America as an ever growing classic.
“Of course there is that rivalry in football. It’s growing more and more, but that rivalry is born from the fans and the players, and it’s still very strong. She has a different, but very strong, side than América has to him. Chivas”, said Borja, in a conversation with EL UNIVERSAL Deportes.
At the end of the 60s, the historic scorer went from the Pumas to the giants, in a move that marked the beginning of what would be a strong rivalry in the capital; However, “Cyrano” does not see it that way.
“It would be very doubtful for me to say yes. What competitions do, in most cases, is the fans, and I – at a certain point – felt the support of Pumas when it was not they want me to leave,” he said.
Borja sees América as the favorite tonight at CU, but he knows that no matter how good the speech is, in the classics it doesn’t matter.
“It’s a classic, a great competition, and it doesn’t matter how they come. America likes him a lot, but these games are being played. It will be very hard on him to fight in Ciudad Universitaria. The mentality of both is to win,” he concluded.
* Borja won 5 titles with América, in seven years.
