Clásico Semifinals: Miguel Herrera and Ricardo Peláez Predict an Extraordinary Match between América and Chivas in Mexican Soccer

Miguel Herrera, the historic former coach of América, and Ricardo Peláez, former president and former player of both teams, do not dare to say their forecast for the semifinal between Águilas and Chivas, but both agree on the relevance of the duel at the national level.

“El Piojo” accepted that his wish is to see the azulcrema in the final; however, he sees beyond “the colors.”

“I’m going with América because of the love I have for the institution, for everything I feel for those colors and for everything he did in the tournament, but it’s going to be an extraordinary game. It is a Clásico and beyond the names it is the strongest clásico in Mexican soccer,” said Herrera.

For his part, Peláez assured that it is a battle that is lived with “a lot of passion, energy, emotion… They are very big hobbies.”

Regarding the duel, Peláez stated that “Chivas has been improving itself and is a more balanced team, but América looks unstoppable offensively and brings positive momentum.”

Miguel Herrera highlighted the work of Fernando Ortiz, bluecrema coach, and Veljko Paunovic, rojiblanco helmsman.

“The practically new coaches in the league are foreigners who have demonstrated their ability. Since he arrived at the remove, Tano showed that he can be the coach of America, as long as he has them at those levels,” said the former Azulcrema coach.
