The poor start that America has had in Apertura 2014, with two defeats in the same number of matches (against Puebla and Atlas), is a subject that has not pleased the club's management, although this situation does not worry or raise alarms.
Consulted by As, the director of the Football Committee of Grupo Televisa, Yon de Luisa, admitted that the fact that America has not scored points in their first two matches has not been to their liking. However, there is no concern at the moment, and it would be until matchday six when a moment of analysis could arrive. He has confidence that this will not happen and the team will improve in their upcoming matches.
Likewise, the executive avoided blaming coach Ignacio Ambriz, as he is aware that the coach has only had one training session with the entire squad. Besides, it is very unlikely that a game where errors like the one against Atlas last Saturday, where defender Ventura Alvarado and forward Dario Benedetto had incredible failures, will be repeated. This does not directly fall on the coach.
The next matches of America, until matchday 6, which is the evaluation date for the Americanista directive are:
- Matchday 3, visit to Pachuca
- Matchday 4, home game against Dorados
- Matchday 5, visit to Santos
- Matchday 6, home game against Veracruz
