I wish it was just a matter of forcefulness, or possession of the ball, but both offensively and defensively, the Tricolor has not convinced anyone for several months.

And there is no light at the end of the tunnel, because Liga MX does not generate constant talent or export players in each transfer window. There is no relegation in the local league, 12 out of 18 teams qualify for the Liguilla and, far from thinking about returning to the Copa Libertadores or having more contact with South American soccer, the Mexican managers prefer to ally themselves with the American MLS.
“I have a process of 3 and a half years, I have been with the players for a month and 10 days. We know what we have to improve; the conclusion is that we must continue working in the same way”.

The Azteca: a wasted opportunity
Playing at the Azteca Stadium, in front of the most demanding public, but at the same time the most faithful, is always an opportunity for the Triand a great window for any rookie coach, in this case, Diego Cocca.
You can leave a good feeling and go on the road knowing that they delivered at home, but this time the opposite happened.
As if the lightning and storm that stopped the match for a moment were an omen, the drizzle of boos and insults came down from the stands at the end of the game.
More of the same. The Colossus of Santa Ăšrsula to burst, the green jerseys painting the stadium, but the Tricolor does not pay back.
And of course, you can’t judge a stage of work with two games, nor can you determine the maximum capacity of a team with only 180 minutes played, but you can understand the discontent of a fans that gets excited year after year, and continues without experiencing real changes.
Not only did El Tri’s reconciliation with the fans not come, but even today the annoyance is greater. Disappointment that will grow as our football continues to fall down this slide. The fans are fed up… and they are right.

The “restructuring” in the national team did not arrive. Nothing changes in the mediocre and conformist league format, and on top of that, the level of the selected players does not rise, even though they look good on their teams or make a difference.

The boos will continue to be heard, and even if the Tricolor does not lose, the fans will not be happy until they see a better performance, group cohesion or, at least, a defined style of play.
The CONCACAF giant seems to be shrinking, and people no longer have patience.
