Matchday 2 of the championship has already been played and there are teams, such as América and Cruz Azul, that are still waiting for some reinforcements to complete their squad.
This is something, unfortunately, very common in Mexican soccer. And it has nothing to do with the economic consequences generated by the covid pandemic. It has to do with a very weak position in the market of almost all the teams, but also with the reduced planning and with a questionable capacity to locate talents abroad who are really interested in coming to our League.
They are weeks, those that precede the start of a new tournament dominated by interested versions leaked to the media, those who lend themselves, in order to generate interest in their audience, to publish almost any gossip.
Although each tournament many teams specify the arrival of their reinforcements at the limit of the regulation, with the tournament already quite advanced, this does not happen or happened in one of the referents of the League: the powerful America.
But it turns out that those led by Santiago Solari are still looking for a central defender, a winger and, it is said, two Mexican soccer players (Zendejas and Arriola), who despite the fact that they have everything arranged, they are just not announced in a regular way. officer as reinforcements.
It is an irrefutable fact that a high percentage of the players who arrive from date 3 onwards struggle to adapt and that most of them end up, although they do well, as a substitute.
With a new board and everything, Cruz Azul continues to operate in the same way. With two wins in two games, coach Juan Reynoso insists that he needs the arrival of three players: a central defender, an attacking midfielder and a forward.
What is the point of spending to bring in players who will not adapt and will end up only generating bad feelings and bad results?
