Everything is business and obviously since it is already very clear that the league is already broken where only 5 teams aspire to the title obviously they must look for how to keep the fans of the rest of the teams hooked and what is better than the MX Cup, just think about the last titles won or final plays of the teams that cannot win the league are the MX Cup, Necaxa, Puebla, Querétaro, Juárez, even Monarcas, Veracruz that are in second and added to teams that are not enough for more than 4th in the league such as San Luis, Pumas, Chivas, Tijuana, Atlas, if the cup returns it is for that reason so that the fans of these teams continue consuming football and follow their team knowing that they have a real opportunity to win something even if it is the cup because surely the 5 that always seek the title will have some restrictions to participate as happened between 2012-2018 if you were qualified for Concacaf You automatically could not participate in any of the 2 cup tournaments, which resulted in champion teams, as I already said, with a low level in the league but that in the cup found a good performance, (Chivas, Puebla, Querétaro, Necaxa, etc.) For example, if the cup returns next semester, they would not be about to go to Concacaf América, Cruz Azul, Toluca, Tigres, Monterrey or Pumas (no one knows what is happening there) automatically the possibilities of being cup champions of mid-table teams become much higher than in the MX league, football is a business and the client is the fans and obviously they cannot let the client even think about changing the channel because they know that their team will not be league champions so the fmf has to give them something
Worth a look
