Sebastián Cáceres, América defender, minimized his team’s recent defeat against Real Estelí, in the Concacaf Champions Cup, considering it normal for teams to lose on some occasions, since it is impossible to always maintain the same level .
The azulcrema team, current Mexican soccer champion, surprised by falling 2-1 last Tuesday against the Nicaraguan team, in the first leg of the first round of said competition.
It is normal that at some point a team loses, it happens to everyone, there is no way that a club can play 100 games in the best way without losing, you cannot keep all the matches at the same level, the physique affects the intensity at time to play, he pointed out yesterday in a conference prior to today’s game against León, corresponding to matchday 6 of the Clausura 2024 tournament.
Likewise, he ruled out that this setback is a cause for concern for the Águilas. Here the alarms do not go off, perhaps the sensation is for you (press). The team has done very well in many aspects, we needed to be more forceful, that is what we must improve, there is no need to generate a lot of drama for that, he commented.
In today’s duel it is very likely that the azulcremas will face the experienced Andrés Guardado, who joined the La Fiera team after 17 years in the military in Europe and whom they consider a great example to follow.
On the other hand, América announced yesterday a friendly match against Cruz Azul that will be played on March 23 at the LA Galaxy stadium in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Eduardo Toto Salvio, Pumas forward, acknowledged that his team hates playing matches at the Olimpico Universitario stadium on Sundays at noon.
“The worst thing there is is playing at 12. I hope that whoever sets that schedule comes to play with us one day. I’m already used to it, but we all hate games at that time.
I honestly don’t know why they do it, we don’t get any advantage, maybe just the height. We don’t like it, the field ends up dry and we can’t do what we practice during the week, he expressed prior to tomorrow’s game against Puebla, in Ciudad Universitaria.
Regarding that match, he indicated that the cats should not trust that their opponent was left without their scorer, Guillermo Martínez, who is now part of the Auriazul team.
We know about the rival’s qualities, their striker left and now we have him, a footballer of great quality. They lost a heavy weight, but they have good elements; It will be a difficult game, you have to play with a lot of responsibility, he pointed out.
