The Greatness of Cruz Azul

The greatness of Cruz Azul is a topic that has been harshly questioned in recent months and once again came to light.

This time, it was Francisco Suinaga, sports president of Toluca, who, prior to tomorrow's match between the Devils and the Celestials, stated that "when it comes to championships and achievements, Toluca is bigger than Cruz Azul." In response, Adrián Aldrete came to the defense of his team.

"The history cannot be changed, it is untouchable. However, in recent years, we have not had a title that can reaffirm it, but that is why we are with this project that has been well received, especially internally. Beyond what is said on the outside, the knowledge of being in a club like this and wanting to make history is the daily motivation with which we work."

Tomorrow, Cruz Azul will have the opportunity to silence the opinions and convince their fans that they are doing things to honor the history of the club.

The team has worked intensively during the week, taking into account the mistakes made in the match against León in the third matchday, as Aldrete stated that they cannot overlook such carelessness against Toluca.

"We have identified the mistake we made in the previous match; we realized that we cannot afford to give away the first few minutes. Tomorrow we face a tough opponent and a tough pitch. Toluca knows how to play football very well, especially with their fans, so we cannot give away anything."

BACA NOMINATION

Last Thursday, Juan Carlos Osorio revealed the list of players called up for the friendly match that the Mexican national team will have against Bosnia. There were many revelations, including the call-up of Henry Martín, América's forward who caught the attention of the national team coach after just three games in the league.

For some, the call-up fell short in the case of Rafael Baca, one of the midfielders who has produced the most results in the Liga MX and who, for Aldrete, is a good candidate for the national team.

"Every footballer wants to be with their national team, I see him calm. He has shown his potential, he has been one of the most consistent players and works like no other. I don't see any bad anxiety in him, he works day by day. If he is well with the team, the opportunities will come to him," said the defender, adding "There are important players in that position, but they all bring something different. A player like Baca would not harm the team, I think he will have his chance at some point."
